5. Managing mobility is all about details: Part II
Last week, we talked about some great ways to get your arms around the challenge
of managing the mobility initiative inside your organization. We covered the
components of a mobile strategy and the need for device standardization,
contract consolidation and user-profile-based issuance of devices. But as I
said, there's more. What follows are some additional components of an effective
mobility policy.

7. Four Tips for Getting Good ROI from Web 2.0 Projects
While Web 2.0 applications such as blogs, wikis and social networks have been
wildly popular with consumers, efforts to measure the technology's success for
businesses have returned mixed results. In fact, recent research from the Burton
Group indicates that business leaders have struggled to define best use cases,
measure their success and chart returns on investment.

8. Politicians need their own slice of the 'Net
On the surface, Washington attorney Matt Sanderson would appear to be pitching a
tough sell: special protection online for politicians and would-be politicians.
However, because the villains here are predatory criminals and cybersquatters,
it should be easy enough for all but the anarchists to see that he has point.

9. Analyzing Twitter with Excel, Part 4
Over the last three weeks I've been trying to figure out how to analyze Twitter
messages using Excel 2003, something I thought would be fairly easy but it turns
out there are a number of "gotchas." The goal was to track the buzz about a
specific product so I wanted to retrieve Tweets that included the product's name
and my first thought was to look for the historical data ... which proved to be
a headache.

10. Click fraud rate drops in Q1
Click fraud, a scam based on the highly profitable search advertising business,
dipped in the first quarter after hitting an all-time high in the last three
months of 2008.

reported today.

12. Windows bugs never really die
Hackers can successfully attack Windows PCs months or even years after
Microsoft fixes a flaw, a security expert said today, because there always
remains a pool of unpatched systems.

SHARK BAIT OF THE DAY

People who should never have been hired in IT
We have a regular meeting. In this meeting is a person who was hired a few years
ago and clearly has no clue! One time a user brought in their laptop to be
backed up and reimaged, and the employee in question drags the user's shortcuts
(notice I said shortcuts!) form the desktop to the CD drive and burns them ...
