Sponsors: IBM
Host: Aditya Kishore, Senior Analyst, Heavy Reading

There is a new content ecosystem evolving, built on applications like social networking, user-generated content, and Internet video. Unlike Internet innovation in the past, the enterprise isn't driving this development. The consumer is now in the driver's seat, making these applications an essential part of the Internet experience. Increasingly they will be used, not just for entertainment, but also for legitimate business use. Rather than fight the inevitable, corporate IT managers need to explore ways to leverage the new digital content ecosystem to meet their organizations' business objectives.

Web 2.0 technologies are all about interactivity, turning passive surfers into active creators. That ought to make them ideal for the workplace, but most businesses still lag so far behind the public Internet that people accustomed to blogs, wikis, mashups, and social networking may feel as if they've stepped through a time warp when they log on to the corporate Internet. In this Webinar we look at organizations already using Web 2.0 and explore how the technology will need to change to be more widely applicable in business.

Innovative retailers are challenging four key retailing rules of thumb in favor of an online community approach to e-commerce. This new strategy has been written about both in a recent Harvard Business Review study as well as Business Week and is the latest attempt by e-commerce startups to outperform rivals stuck in the old ways.

This doesn’t happen often in surveys: Talking to dozens of enterprises earlier this year, an astounding 100 percent told me they were expecting to host networking or IT services on the Internet. The bad news was that over half said they thought there were serious issues to be overcome in these applications, and a full 30 percent reported explicitly bad experiences.

Companies that develop GPS-based products to determine a person’s location strive for the utmost accuracy because they know these devices not only offer tremendous convenience, but also could save lives in emergencies. What few people realize is it could be just as vital to foil that accuracy. We had better realize the dangers of location data – and how to “fake out” the trackers.

Environmental organization Global Action Plan studies show that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the information and communications technology industry exceed the carbon output of the entire aviation industry. From this, it’s estimated that the Internet is generating 5.3 percent of world energy consumption. But, though the Internet is a CO2 contributor to greenhouse gases, it also offers energy and carbon emission alternatives that are more attainable than those in other industries.

Using electronic stamps on email as a way to filter out spam or, at least cut down on unsolicited commercial email, has been considered by experts for some time now. Whether the discussion is raised in an email hoax or a serious proposal by a fellow ThinkerNetter, a practical solution is currently lacking. But what if the stamp charge is not collected by the government or ISP, but paid to the email recipient? The benefits there could be sufficient motivation to explore possible implementations.
