A Good Riddle: "Sr. managers determine a strategic objective for the company. A physically distributed management team develops a tactical plan/chronologic to do task list in the form of an OPML outline. Each task is an outline head which can be subscribed to with a desktop aggregator (Radio) by the people who need to know. The task owner/doer updates their progress under the OPML task outline head and publishes it to a cloud. The aggregators subscribed notice the change and push the new information to the subscriber weblog and/or optionally notifies the subscriber by IM or email. Authorized people (other than the task owner/doer) may write comments etc. under the task outline head which are also published by the task owner/doer.
This creates a communication system that doesn't rely on email and is self organizing. Very handy on multiple levels and the rewards are immediately apparent."
This needs some careful reading. But I don't see why Manila private sites and open sites joined discussion groups and so on cannot do this right now. I know that Userland have been using Radio and RCS internally, but many Sr. managers right now don't/aren't techie and this solution just smells of tech. Though, I'm sure it can look neat and tidy once installed and set up, but the IT geezer won't want to be involved in all the nonsense that maintaining the CEO's machine entails.

This stuff is coming, and it will eventually be piss easy, but it isn't right now, while Manila is, and a joy to use. If we could get some companies to adopt a blogging colony with Manila now, later they could grow into more powerful features... Inch by inch.

Sony Japan has just introduced two new cutting-edge handhelds. The PEG-NR70 and PEG-NR70V both have built-in keyboards and 320 by 480 color screens. They also have built-in MP3 and ATRAC3 audio players. In addition, the PEG-NR70V has a built-in camera.

Palm OS 4.1, 16mb RAM has a 10Mb ROM, April 13 release for the top of the range $456 only in Japan... Why aren't laptops moving closer to this space? I need a phone inside my PowerBook, and a camera. I know I can get a phone card, I already use the infra red port and a Nokia 6210 at 9k, and a kritter. But it isn't something I take to the park with the kids, my Nokia is small enough but the damn key pad and predictive text, no copy/paste...

More to the point, imagine mobile blogging and surfing on the commute home, or intranet knowledge blogging, listening to the hum of the organisation as you're whizzed down the M6 in your chauffeur driven Merc. Maybe 5 years off in technical terms, but, many, many years before it's common place.
