Zachary Cohen proffers a suggestion for a much needed new social employment position, the Social Media Slave. Ouch Zach! Who wants that job now? That's not a particularly attractive job posting. But, will it work in the real world?

Facebook changed it's UI again and cut my wasted Facebook time by at least 30%. I predict ad revenues take a hit.

It's possible, if not likely that enjoyment and therefor increased use and distribution will compensate and the hit won't cause a corporate response to change it back. But, ads definitely took a hit in this redesign.

I understand the proper management structural concept of “no orphan work.” If it can’t be billed, accounted, then why do it? But, that’s not how any company operates. What happens is people do the work, don’t document it and therefor the work is never documented, never accounted and therefor never billed. If I get an email, phone call or urgent IM to do something I immediately do it.

I have a slew of accounts, thanks to my adoption of SAAS along with widespread acceptance by my clients. Each system has master accounts, user accounts and in the case of Google I have an account for each domain (and corporate segregate entity) I manage that utilizes Google services.

A plan adopted by the US:

Just spent about ten minutes reading and watching the Inbox Zero guy (inboxzero.com). Let me give you a simpler version of email management.

Agile and Extreme Programming rely on testing and user stories. Cycles are shorter and waste is limited. Every conversation begins with "how do we achieve the goal" and ends with "what's the proof we've achieved it?"

That's test driven development.

I've been corresponding with someone (this morning) that had a fully patched Drupal 6.15 website hacked. Since I often work with Drupal, this caught my attention. The hacker modified their bootstrap file which effects the entire website's content on this particular database driven website. They inserted links to various and sundry things with which the website owner no doubt wanted nothing to do.

My typical solution for running Windows is to avoid it like the plague it is on my wallet. I do have a plan B. Plan B for me is to run an OS I can somewhat control and run a virtual machine on top of it for Windows applications. I've been without a goto plan lately, hacking solutions as I go. Primarily I'm a high value production server guy.
