Bookmarks for October 31st through November 1st
These are my links for October 31st through November 1st:
- The Science of Change – The key is that we need to change ourselves. We need to transform, not them. We don’t need to occupy Wall Street, we simply need to occupy Main Street because that is where they occupy us. It is not enough to marvel at our numbers, civil disobedience, and cardboard signs. We need a Science of change so that we can do so.
- steve jobs and the no @$$hole rule – Bottom line: I still believe in Sutton’s rule, but Jobs was exceptional. Almost no one had his deep knowledge of the high tech business or such an acute sense of style and design. Few can build an organization tailored to their personality. Most @$$holes will never be in Jobs’ league and will merely make our lives miserable. Long live the no @$$hole rule!
- live.hackr : Reader- – die gesamte dontdoevil-narration ist natürlich so viel wert wie klopapier, wenn sie sich mit facebook – und also das erste mal mit einem echten herausforderer – konfrontiert in einen moron verwandeln, der seine infomonopolistischen marktmacht ohne rücksicht auf verluste (auf seiten der user, wohin sollen sie den gehen, muhaha) ausnützt, um dem eigenen hoffnungsträger g+ ein gewisses momentum zu verleihen; wobei sie das alleine natürlich nicht evil macht, aber – wie diplix schön sagt – billig, schlampig und doof.
- Reader redesign: Terrible decision, or worst decision? – >* – Fantastic post that articulates all my views on the matter better than I could ahve. I was looking forward to G+ integration and was appalled to find they just ripped my friends' shares out completely.
The red subscribe button is hilarious in comparison to the rest of the monochrome scheme.
I just hope they're soaking up feedback and prepared to move quickly on it - Warum Sharing nun schlechter ist und wie man Vieles besser machen könnte | Google Reader schlanker und plussiger | News-Foren – Das für mich dominanteste Beispiel: Ich konnte bislang sehr bequem
einigen Leuten *im Reader* folgen, ohne deren sonstige (für mich
größtenteil irrelevanten) G+ Posts lesen zu müssen.Nun muss ich mir die für mich interessanten Teile aus deren weitaus
umfangreicheren G+ Streams herausfiltern. Das ist mir persönlich zu
zeitraubend und blöd.Ich verzichte nun komplett auf das Sharing und das Konsumieren von
gesharten Inhalten. - Unklartext – Das Schmidt-Steinbrück-Buch hält nicht, was der Hype verspricht. Anja Höfer im Gespräch mit Reinhard Hübsch. SWR2 Journal am Morgen vom 27.10.2011
- Kuchen für Alle! – Wir sind die 90%
- More Than Facebook: The Time Is Right For Social Business – Forbes – What’s keeping other companies from following their lead? Many executives recognize that social media is powerful, even if they still wonder in the back of their minds whether it’s just a time sink. Yet, even when they decide that there is potential, these execs get hung up on trying to figure how to apply social technologies to their companies, how to engage and empower their employees to participate.
Here’s the trick with social business: Focus on people and culture.
- The Connected Company: Environment and Organization Come First « Dachis Group Collaboratory – Technology solutions will be applied to management challenges in time. Market forces make it nearly inevitable. It remains to be seen if they’ll be effective without management interventions that consider the culture and human side of the equation. It’s important to allow for new roles and ways of thinking to grow organically within an organization as a foundation for this transition.
Our collaborative discovery sessions with clients reveal patterns to the environmental needs of major organizations. We’ve found that is helpful to share with clients a list of socially calibrated attributes that may prompt internal evaluation and change.
How does your organization compare with this list? Are you ready to make a transition to managing a socially calibrated organization?
