Arnold Columns for July 2011
June 22, 2011
The summer of 2011 is proving to be exciting. Google announced a shift from Web search to mobile search. A shortage of Lucene Solr developers filled my in box with pleas for people who could tame some open source wild ponies. AOL announced that it was going to plunge into the local deal pool. Microsoft announced that it intended to use one user interface across different devices.
With more than two months to go before summer winds down, I anticipate more surprising developments.
Here’s the line up of my for-fee columns for July 2011. Keep in mind that most of these for-fee columns are intended for print. A July 2011 column can appear two months or more after I submit the material.
Enterprise Technology Management (London, England). “Google Grinds Its Search Gears and Delivers Cold Mangos.” I discuss the implications of the Inside Search innovations on Google’s enterprise prospects and customers. Like I said, “Cold mangos.”
Information Today. “Microsoft Escalates the Multi-Device User Experience War.” Microsoft wants to deliver a common user experience across mobile, tablets, and desktop computers. I consider the challenges of this undertaking.
Online Magazine. “Is Solr Drying Up the FOSS Developer Pool?” I take a quick look at the causes and implications of a talent shortage for organizations embracing open source software.
Smart Business Network. “Can AOL Cook Up a Winner with Its Patch Local Advertising Service?” With the sector getting crowded, my hunch is that AOL will have to demonstrate that it can find room amidst some chunky folks.
The content in the for-fee columns does not appear in this marketing oriented Web log. If you want copies of these for-fee columns, please, contact the publishers directly.
