New-school pixelism provides precision when the design requires it. It does so without sacrificing accessibility or standards compliance and while conserving bandwidth. Du grand Zeldman, New-school pixelism, ca va lever comme terme! #
Extraits choisi du résumé de la conférence Digital ID du CTO de PingID, sur son blog netmeme
Indeed there was a slight, almost undetectable undercurrent of skepticism that there is even a Digital ID movement in the first place. Skepticism is of course healthy and necessary (... we) agreed with the need to bootstrap this from below, if anything interesting is going to happen at all. In the middle of all of this was the human concern over Digital Identity, (...) that the Digital ID debate was dominated by corporate/government interests in maintaining customer/citizen information (top-down), and not enough by the humans whom the ID's represent (bottom-up). Doc Searls, in particular, delivered a particularly moving talk on the final day, making a clear case for someone to build the wildfire, human-centric killer Digital ID application. One which is framed in purely human terms, one which will create its own infrastructure (in the same way that the web and blogs did), and one which will ultimately force corporate interests to kowtow to its infrastructure and protocols, rather than vice versa. Avec quelques autres lectures des derniers jours, celle-ci me fait beaucoup réfléchir... Identité, société, technologie, éducation, savoir, communication et passion résument les confluents de ma réflexion actuelle... #

The nonsense of 'knowledge management'
Examines critically the origins and basis of 'knowledge management', its components and its development as a field of consultancy practice. Problems in the distinction between 'knowledge' and 'information' are explored, as well as Polanyi's concept of 'tacit knowing'. The concept is examined in the journal literature, the Web sites of consultancy companies, and in the presentation of business schools. The conclusion is reached that 'knowledge management' is an umbrella term for a variety of organizational activities, none of which are concerned with the management of knowledge. Une analyse détaillée que je me promet bien de lire, contrarian indeed, j'aime bien ce que le résumé nous présente. #
