These are my links for December 31st through January 4th:

- The good news: 86% of professionals have adopted social media in some way, according to a recent survey by Mzinga and Babson Executive Education.
The bad news: A whopping 84% of survey respondents who’ve adopted social media don’t measure their social media programs.

To do this, Unblab has built the Unblab Smart-Cloud, a cloud based web service that uses learning machines to automatically learn your importance preferences. It learns without requiring you to change any of your email habits. - %extended%
- Digital Intuition is a secret. Something sort of like the Da Vinci code, except Tom Hanks isn't involved and no one is trying to kill us. Yet! - %extended%
- With a $1 billion valuation, Twitter is becoming, according to Co-Founder Evan Williams, an information network, a practically priceless exchange for connections, information, and the resulting activity that ensues. - %extended%
- Six months ago I wrote about a startup called Shopkick (it was then called MOBshop). The company won’t disclose much of what their eventual product will be, but they’ve attracted some of the most high profile investors in Silicon Valley: Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Reid Hoffman - %extended%
- The majority of future online sales will happen offsite. Customers will be able to shop with brands wherever they happen to be whether they're on YouTube, a favorite blogger web site, or in Facebook. Alvenda is moving commerce forward to these touch points and is generating remarkable sales results. - %extended%
- In the world of business-to-business companies presentations with slides have become a staple for internal and external meetings. Because many of us rely on slides, we often need inspiration and help putting together the perfect deck. Recently I have become a fan of SlideShare.net, a site that allows users to upload and share their slide presentations with others. I have found it a great source for presentations on a wide variety of topics. - %extended%
- Forced Evolution: In the company which has reached the high teens in run rate, the CEO may still have maintained the habit of acting as chief-of-everything. In order for the company to grow, this CEO must reinvent himself and serve his creation in an entirely different manner than was adequate during the early stages. So much of the activities which filled a normal day must be offloaded. An Advisory Board can accelerate this process and help the CEO navigate through a stressful time. - %extended%
- Today's cloud-computing vendors focus on infrastructure, but that won't be the case for long. It can't be. As competing vendors seek to differentiate themselves, they're going to move "up the stack" into applications. - %extended%
- To get started offering your own cloud computing services (such as hosted applications), there are two intertwined elements that solutions providers need to put into place. The first is implementing a service delivery platform (SDP). The second fundamental element involves a cloud infrastructure. Here are some more tips for VARs and service providers. - %extended%
- Discussions about testing and building private cloud computing systems at large enterprises and midrange companies consumed time and energy for many IT decision-makers in 2009. According to most industry analysts, a growing number of IT managers and C-level executives already have carved out some of next year's budget to devote to internal cloud computing testing, hardware, software, services and licenses. - %extended%

- New Years Day is a time for thinking ahead to a new year and decade. But first, a look back. For me, the Internet started in 1994 with Netscape. - %extended%
- Bill Gates once derided open source advocates with the worst epithet a capitalist can muster. These folks, he said, were a "new modern-day sort of communists," a malevolent force bent on destroying the monopolistic incentive that helps support the American dream. Gates was wrong: Open source zealots are more likely to be libertarians than commie pinkos. - %extended%
