Watching Socialtext's announcement this week about the newest major release of their flagship technology, I knew that had done some great work. I got the demo today, and it looks really great. Socialtext has extended way past the baseline functionality that made them a pioneer in social technology for business.

, Jeff Jarvis, Operaitonal Transparency I am in Tampa waiting to fly back home to New Jersey and, thanks to the snowicane but rather than sitting in the usual information vacuum to which airlines subject us, I am watching as Continental shows us the status of the flights that were supposed to bring our jet in from LA to Cleveland to Newark to Tampa. I saw the flight to Cleveland canceled, then the one to Newark canceled, and I figured we were doomed when I saw the aircraft number for my flight erased. But then I saw us assigned a new jet, one that flew into Tampa from Houston last night.

A number of approaches have been developed in recent months for trying to structure messages in Twitter to better relay emergency needs or requests. Many of these are based on the now commonly used hashtag. My perspective is that hashtags are not really an appropriate way to encode complex information in Twitter or other streams of communication.

Nick Bilton jumps in on the concept that future OS's are likely to move away from the file/folder/desktop metaphor of Mac OS and Windows to something more like iPhone (as I did, here , here , and here ): . Back in the dark ages of personal computing, if you wanted to look through the programs on your machine and, say, open a Microsoft Word document from the floppy drive, you would need to type a list of arcane commands that went something like this: . DIR *.EXE.
