Does Design Matter?

“Does Design Matter?” That’s the question I asked during my presentation with Matt Jones from Dopplr at the Sarasota International Design Summit this past Tuesday. Before I was crucified by the audience, I quickly said it still does, but perhaps not as much. Why? I threw out the concept last week, asking, “when so much [...]

Voce Does BlogWell 2008

Yesterday, we attended GasPedal’s BlogWell event at the San Jose Convention Center to get some fresh insights on how big companies are already using social media.

Oracle Listens – But Who Owns the Idea?

The big ‘idea’ news last week was Oracle’s launch of Oracle Listens. A campaign where they solicit ideas from end users. Charlene Li blogged about it and gave Oracle kudos for the effort.
