Wolfe's Den Vlog: SAP BI Goes Social With Clearspace
By Alex Wolfe | InformationWeek
I've just posted a short video about SAP (NYSE: SAP)'s deal with Jive Software, which lets you embed dynamic analytics widgets inside your blog posts. I mean "dynamic" not in the sense of multicolor whiz-bang (which usually aren't) charts. I'm talking serious Crystal Reports graphics, so you can showcase Business Intelligence (BI) with multiple data slices before your entire company, right there on the corporate Clearspace wiki.

Enterprise 2.0 2009 Conference: Aggregate and Organize
By Paul Greenberg | ZDNet
But at least the Enterprise 2.0 conference is a reason to withstand the wrath of the gods. Before i get into some of the highlights and my take on at least the first day of the conference, I want to emphasize something that makes me sound like a fanboy. If there's one conference you need to attend that ends with a 2.0 - this is the one, if you care about your business. If you're a geek, I think you could make an argument for O'Reilly's Web 2.0 conference; if you're a government employee or even government contractor, Government 2.0 is a good place to be; but if you are a business person and you want to understand what you have to do in the next year to 2 years....this.is.IT. Hell, I am a fanboy when it comes to this baby. Come here next year. Even with the gods of Logan arrayed against you. If you're fearful of the gods of Mt. Logan, they announced a second conference for San Francisco on August 7 this year, with a much less frightening airport.
