Free Online Conferencing for 10 or Less People...
Situation: You Don't Have WEBEX, DO Have a Conference Call Line, and Want to Deliver a Presentation to Less Than 10 People. Yugma is an online collaboration tool that allows you to deliver basic preesntations to others online. The 10 or less option is free. More concurrent seats are available for an upcharge.What it does well: - provides a virtual space to deliver simple presentations - desktop sharing - at no cost What it doesn't do: - application sharing - online audio (there's a dial in # at an extra charge) - recording of sessions (unless you upgrade, and even then there's no audio) |

Things Improve When People Are Looking...
| Situation: You're Wondering If Transparency Helps... “Transparency has a huge value on moving these things forward,” - Jonathan Breul, executive director for IBM Center for the Business of Government An article today in The Federal Times, entitled OMB: IT project management is improving describes a substantial improvement in government project performance. "The management watch list highlights weak business cases for hundreds of government IT projects. The projects are considered at risk because of deficient acquisition strategies, poor data security measures or flawed design plans. Agencies are required by law to submit the business cases to OMB for approval in order to get funding for them. The number of IT project business cases on the watch list fell to 183 as of March 31 from 346 last December. Because some business cases cover multiple IT projects, the number of IT projects that are deemed at risk is likely far higher than this number. The business cases on the list cover projects worth a combined $9.7 billion in fiscal 2008 investments.
Business cases are dropped from the list as agencies document to OMB that they are addressing weaknesses. OMB spokeswoman Andrea Wuebker said that to get cases off the list, agencies assigned full-time project managers, completed certification and accreditation procedures to assess data security risks and showed they had conducted quantitative analysis for the investment.

It's Green to Be Black
Situation: You'd Like a Small Way to Do Your Part... Google is everyone's home page. It's a field of white with a few simple on-screen elements. Blackle is Google web search, ... but black. This saves energy because monitors use more energy to display a white screen than a black one. In fact the energy savings to date is listed right up on the home page - currently at 2,438.500 Watt hours saved.The only downside is that you don't have image search, etc. - but for everyday searching it's great. |
