Some good reminders

Andrew McAfee has posted some interesting articles on the adoption of E2.0 applications. His most recent post, Is Management the Problem?, seems, inadvertently, to be a pretty good summary of these posts.

Is this just because he's been right all along ;-)?

I'm convinced that our success with news feeds (RSS et al) is due, in no small part, to getting senior management to experience it and use it. I can see the same pattern emerging (oops, no pun intended) with some E2.0 apps, although I'm not prepared to say which here.

587 days

Got this in my inbox today.
Hello from Weebly!

It looks like it's been 587 days, 21 hours, 57 minutes and 37 seconds since you last logged in...
Of course I'd completely forgotten what Weebly was all about and what my password was. The Weebly folk did something clever that I've not seen before, they included in the email a link to log in if I have forgotten my password. With the barrier to entry so lowered I clicked the link.

I remember this site, which 587.92 days ago was unusable. It's a simple web site editor and was usable enough for me to have a quick play and publish. You can create two types of content - pages and blogs (although you'll probably only have one of the latter). It reminds me a bit of jotspot, which is based on a wiki model.

Unless you fear the evil of Google I'd use Google Sites.
