Speeches from the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in SF are available on [E2 TV]. I posted some interesting tweets from the conference attendees earlier, here are some more: When people talk about “breaking down” silos they add fuel to the fire that E20 is a crock. Silos collaborate they don't break down. (@mikojava) Change agents have always existed, 2.0 tech brings agents together (@

Here are some tweets from the Conference attendees: trust, collaboration, network, engagement, task-driven, productivity-enhancement, defined-roles & responsibilities = 2.0 world (@ekolsky) Content is no longer enough, context of persona is key to E20.

Researchers from MIT and UC San Diego recently demonstrated an attack against Amazon’s EC2 where an attack virtual machine can launch attacks against a victim virtual machine that is located on the same physical server. Does this mean that there is a security vulnerability within EC2? Yes. Should you be concerned? Not really. Read more .. ..

David Navetta, Esq. CIPP, has published an interesting blog post on the topic of Legal Implications of Cloud Computing. Mr. Navetta emphasize the need to understand the increasingly complex and interlocking relationships in the Cloud: The party with whom a company is dealing will often not be the party actually processing data or providing computing services.  This poses compliance

Background: A constitutional right  granted in many Latin American countries is "Habeas Data" i.e. the right to own your data. Habeas Data can be brought up by any citizen against any manual or automated data register to find out what information is held about his or her person. That person can request the rectification, actualization or even the "destruction" of the personal data held.

Tanya L. Forsheit, Esq., CIPP writes about the EU Data Protection Directive and Cloud Computing: The most notable thing about the EU Directive and member state laws for purposes of cloud computing is this -- in the absence of specific compliance mechanisms, the EU prohibits (yes, you read correctly, prohibits) the transfer of personal information of EU residents out of the EU to the US and

You must love your [SaaS] vendor. You must trust your [SaaS] vendor. You must have your [SaaS] vendor's cell, home and wife's cell phone number. Your [SaaS] vendor is your lifeline. Do your research, make sure your cloud computing vendor has been in business for a long time, and with reasonable certainty, will continue to be in business for a long time.

… well at least about the proper translation of the term "Cloud Computing" to French: A group of French experts had spent 18 months coming up with  "informatique en nuage," which literally means "computing in cloud." "What? This means nothing to me. I put a 'cloud' of milk in my tea!" exclaimed Jean Saint-Geours, a French writer and member of the  Terminology Commission. "Send it back

The law is only one of several imperfect and more or less external ways of defending what is better in life against what is worse. By itself, the law can never create anything better…. Establishing respect for the law does not automatically ensure a better life for that, after all, is a job for people and not for laws and institutions - Václav Havel, Czech playwright, essayist, former

Trent Henry of Burton group says that Logging everything may not be such a good idea. I whole heartedly agree with him, as long as periodic data destruction is part of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) at your organization. However, destroying data in the face of a e-discovery request is a BAD idea. e-discovery is serious business. Here are some guidelines: An unprepared organization can
