Chaos and Value Creation

On November 1, 2011 By

Google Circles and Vuuch Pages

On July 8, 2011 By

I was reading Oleg’s post http://plmtwine.com/2011/07/07/google-plm-and-the-product-data-sharing-models/ on sharing models and Google circle and it got me wondering what they are up to…

So what is Google up to with Circles?  My belief is they fully understand the problem of information overload that results from social streams.  Yammer, Jive, Facebook, Twitter, or any other social [...]

This post started as a reply to Oleg’s post on work-in-progress (WIP) versus system-of-record http://plmtwine.com/2011/06/06/plm-work-in-progress-vs-system-of-records/ but by the time I was done I had written more than a comment…
