As we launch a new year one truth is certain: an optimal solution for 2007 is not likely to meet the challenges of 2008 and 2009. Business owners and executives no longer can afford to rest upon prior laurels, even for a moment. To paraphrase an old line from the academicians, in today´s 24/7 high-tech world of commerce the catch phrase is “innovate or perish.”

The market for content and knowledge management systems and solutions is a crowded one—so much so that it can sometimes feel as if there are as many offerings out there as there are, say, neural pathways in the human brain. But there is probably only one knowledge management product that takes the inspiration for its design directly from that most complex and intricate of organs. PersonalBrain, a product of TheBrain Technologies, links networks of information including ideas, concepts, files, and webpages in a manner that attempts to mimic the thought processes of each unique user. Last year, TheBrain Technologies, a provider of visualization and dynamic mind-mapping software, released the fourth version of the PersonalBrain product, and last month the company celebrated a milestone in usage when one user surpassed 80,000 thoughts in his Brain.

In the movie “Minority Report,” Tom Cruise’s character manipulates virtual documents and zooms through images with a flurry of hand gestures and motions. The movie is set in 2054. But a number of companies already are creating products that mimic that experience, enabling people to interact with monitors and computers using a wave of their hand or a shift in their body position. Think of it as the next step after the Nintendo Wii - only you are the Wii controller. The trend was on full display at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where the focus has shifted to more natural interfaces for computing and entertainment experiences. Gesture-based controls take the idea to the next step, beyond voice activation, touch screens and motion-sensing via Wii controllers.

Instead of just complaining when their favorite bookstore closes, growing numbers of people are now kicking in cash to keep them open, reports Nathaniel Popper in The Wall Street Journal (1/18/08). Across America, “loyal customers have been stepping up and putting down serious cash to save their neighborhood bookstores. These individuals see themselves more as donors than investors, committed to saving the ambiance and personal service of their local store.” As Clark Kepler of Kepler’s Books and Magazines advised his customers: “This is an investment from the heart.

Susan is talking about the book industry, and specifically about the Strand, a used bookstore in Manhattan, where scavengers cash in on books other people have thrown in the garbage. Thomas Germain (a.k.a. Tommy Books) and his buddy Brian Martin (a.k.a.

The University of Kansas Biodiversity Research Center has received an $850,000 grant from the European Science Initiative of Microsoft Research Inc. to study biodiversity changes in complex environments with a focus on Mexico’s cloud forest. In partnership with the national biodiversity commission in Mexico, the project will analyze the data, but it is also taking a meta approach to examine how to best combine a broad set of complex data for analysis. One answer is to design a virtual world to test the researchers’ predictions. “The virtual world will give us ways to test tools we have been developing for 10 years,” said Jorge Soberón, lead investigator for the project and senior scientist at KU’s Biodiversity Institute. “We want to create a very complex simulation, not just a beautiful envelope with nothing inside.”

Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) SMEs do not have deep and endless pockets like the large corporations; they cannot afford even small mistakes. They need to keep innovating to remain competitive at all levels. To fuel innovation within the organization, it’s necessary to have a sound enterprise intelligence strategy in place. This makes Business Intelligence (BI) a very important tool in today’s continually changing market scenario. BI solutions help organizations to transform information into intelligence which in turn can fuel innovation and help organizations to leap frog their competitors. BI is increasingly viewed as strategic initiatives for businesses to step change their performance. As SMEs have to continuously maximize productive efficiencies for survival and growth or to face acquisition/consolidation by conglomerates especially in the background of increasing cost of inputs (manpower, commodity, etc), these challenges make BI very important for them, says Deepak Pahwa, Group Chairman Pahwa Enterprise.

A new report, commissioned by JISC and the British Library, counters the common assumption that the ‘Google Generation’ – young people born or brought up in the Internet age – is the most adept at using the web. The report by the CIBER research team at University College London claims that, although young people demonstrate an ease and familiarity with computers, they rely on the most basic search tools and do not possess the critical and analytical skills to assess the information that they find on the web. The report ‘Information Behaviour of the Researcher of the Future’ also shows that research-behaviour traits that are commonly associated with younger users – impatience in search and navigation, and zero tolerance for any delay in satisfying their information needs – are now the norm for all age-groups, from younger pupils and undergraduates through to professors.
