Facebook is getting a heck of a lot of attention by enterprisey types. As it should.
I wrote a piece for ZDNet that cobbled a bunch of opinions from my colleagues elsewhere. If you don’t want to read the piece then I’ll say here that I think Facebook holds the promise of fundamentally changing the way business is organised and operates – a theme that resonates with with this blog and a reason why I’m such a fan.
An hour after I’d finished the piece I saw this from Erik Keller on the Sandhill blogs. In a remarkable piece of candour from an industry analyst, Erik says in his prelude to a wider Facebook discussion:
What has become increasingly apparent to me is how clueless I have become about the rapidly changing computing platforms of the day.
I suggested that in his discussion, Erik may have missed the emotional appeal of Facebook but it seems in comments, we are in wild agreement. Given our different positions on other topics, that’s something of a shock.
PS - and just to add a little spice, my son-in-law had a little fun at my expense. Check this photo.
