New 'Movielink' service lacks Mac support [The Macintosh News Network]

Great. We will be able to download movies on the Internet but only if we use Windows. What a wonderful world that will be! The Big 5 that I will do my darndest to avoid. AOL/Time Warner, Disney, MS, Clear Channel, RIAA. Of course, this prevents me from experiencing most of today's pop culture, so there will be some back-sliding. But I will refuse to see Disney's new animated movie, another ripoff of someone else's creation that has entered the public domain. What will they do when there is nothing left there for them to steal, I mean, adapt? At least Pixar tries to create original work.  10:41:52 PM

Measuring the value of your content [elearningpost]

Measuring the value of content is an important aspect of an intranet project. Finding out if the user actually 'get' your content is critical.  6:43:35 PM    

A New Approach to American Politics (or how can the Democrats get their groove back).    A JRo essay.  If I was working with an editor and spent some more time on it, it could be a very good article.  Okay, back to work. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]

Something to think about, particularly the feeling that the Democrats need to project hope.  6:39:43 PM    

Useit.Com: Intranet Usability: The Trillion-Dollar Question. In our study, we found that a lack of good management support for intranets had a great impact on quality. In particular, companies with ailing intranet usability rarely had a well-funded central intranet group with clear ownership of the design. [Tomalak's Realm]

This has some really great points. However, the intranet is used for different things by different groups. In research, the intranet is used for displaying and moving data around. Other areas need to act like the company newsletter. Some you need to get forms to print out. Each of these sites need to have their own design approach to be useful. The hard part is making all these areas work well with one another. Making the research area work like a newsletter will satisfy no one. I dealt with this a lot while helping create the intranet at Immunex.  6:35:10 PM
