McFaddenPlace Moved ... But You Can't Tell

no yahooYou might not know we moved ... I guess it's better to say we switched our hosting at mcfaddenplace.  Not significant to any of our readers but it is significant (or maybe not) to Yahoo.  Yahoo webhosting stinks!  We started there back in 2005 right before we moved to Oxford.  We used Yahoo because they had an easy to use «site builder» and hosting was included.  Fast forward 4 years, 3 website designs and a switch to wordpress and we've outgrown Yahoo.  How does someone outgrow Yahoo?  Easy, they only have tools for people that don't want to experiment with new tools ... they don't even allow people to work with the latest and greatest platforms like WordPress.

Twitter

I think Twitter is onto something. You sign up and anytime you update (send an SMS) it updates your friends and the website (if you're comments are public). In some aspects this is just an easy way to send out a text to many. Do I care what my friends are doing? Do I want to get a text message anytime a friend sends out a note? Maybe. Maybe not. But maybe the potential isn't in the updating but rather the ability to get texts (and pictures from cell phones) on a website immediately.

Link: Everyone as Co-Creators: Harnessing Collective Innovation with Web 2.0

Unfortunately my time has been crunched over the last few weeks or I would have attempted to summarize my own thoughts on open innovation. That being said, I guess part of the genius behind open source innovation is «harnessing collective innovation», in which the link below is a great introduction to the subject:
