Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year. For me, it is all of those things plus a time when I u...

To Tweet or Not to Tweet?
Tweets, pictures, videos, etc. can go viral before you blink an eye

I recently read an article about "How Social Media Can Hurt Your Job" by Rachel Zupeck and it gave me pause. Why? Because I have had people ask me who can read their tweets.

If you have your tweets on a public timeline, then everyone can read your tweets. Companies have taken proactive measures to "listen" to their brand being discussed on social media platforms. It's really quite easy for them to know if you are talking about them or not. Tweetbeep, Google Alerts, Radian6, Company Buzz (LinkedIn application), etc. makes it very easy for them to "hear" when their name has been mentioned on a social media platform.

So, before you decide to give negative press about a company or its' people, remember that it's quite possible that they are listening with one of these tools and will discover it. Remember, that once you click "submit," the tweet has been seen. Sure, there is a trash can icon where you can delete a tweet, but who's already seen it? Worse yet--who's already retweeted you? Tweets, pictures, videos, etc. can go viral before you blink an eye, so be very careful.
