With a great deal of help from my friends at dataLAB, I’ve started a wiki project to revise and update the Just Enough Structured Analysis manuscript that’s been sitting on my web site for the past several years. You can find it — and, hopefully, jump in and start participating, by clicking here.

I had the pleasure of giving a Web 2.0 presentation to the New York City chapter of the Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN) this evening, using the Web 2.0 mind-map that I’ve been working on for the past several months.

I stumbled across an entry on Fred Wilson’s A VC blogsite today, entitled “How AOL Ruined Email“. With a title like that, how can you resist reading it? (Go ahead and click on the link; I won’t be insulted. Just come back here when you’re done.) The gist of his message is that

If you’re over 30, you’re probably not even aware that there was a major uproar over a new feature introduced into the Facebook.com social networking service, which allows your “connected friends” to be instantly notified of changes in your personal status — e.g., the fact that you’ve just gotten involved in a new relationship, or […]
