Hopefully we wouldn't have! I'd rather have had more intact city cores and fewer drivers. Probably my major objection to the system, urban freeways, didn't have to be part of the system, and Eisenhower apparently personally did not want the

'"We can't be outcome driven," said Anne Tompkins, the U.S. attorney in Charlotte.' The quote seems like it may be out of context even in the article, but seems like a good capture of the problems with total dedication to process over discr

This is the first time I've thought a site hosted on *.github.com was a github project, but I did think that for a second. I'm guessing because of <h1>giving.github.com</h1>. Had it been just <h1>Giving</h1>,

I signed up, good luck! I'm curious, what does selling Thinkpads with Linux pre-installed involved? Does Lenovo sell in bulk as an OEM, OS-less? Other companies have sold Thinkpads running Linux for years (Emperor Linux, IIRC) but at a larg

I've made 100x fewer edits and think your site is super excellent. Wikipedia will probably outlive most personal sites, and will be the subject of much more analysis. I would be somewhat surprised if on net, over next decade personal benefi

Sorry, the video points out no "human" differences. It points to humans saying they like Yammer, that's about it. I'm sure it is just fine as a marketing video, but don't pretend it conveys any information beyond "like", assuming one has ev

by mlinksva 15y ago
What example? I read it again, and I really don't see any "info on what makes us different than facebook/irc/campfire/status.net" As I already said https://www.yammer.com/product/index does give me some idea of how Yammer is different.

by mlinksva 15y ago
The video provides zero information about differences with "facebook/irc/campfire/status.net". https://www.yammer.com/product/index seems much more helpful. Looks like Yammer has added lots of what would've been called "groupware" feature

Yammer must have a much, much bigger sales force, so we can start with whatever a vendor sales force actually does for customers. Speaking of sales forces, isn't Salesforce Chatter the biggest (as in sales [force], at least) corporate-socia

"Sure, Yammer is just like Facebook, but we're so much more than that. Corporations don't share cat pictures, they turn into efficient business machines." I was expecting something more substantial.

I agree proprietary $$$ (marketing and otherwise) are a big part of the story. I'm reticent to say it is the entire story. That's very disempowering. Even if it is the entire story, the inability to successfully counter MSFT/AAPL/et al $$

Agree with the above - lack of pre-installs is a major, major barrier, no matter how good the software is. Clearly there have been a number of missed opportunities over the years, with HP, Dell, Acer, probably others. Yes, they each have do

BSA membership is smaller than I would've guessed, eg HP, IBM, Oracle, and SAP aren't members. Good for them. Why are Dell and Intel members? None of their direct competitors are.
