Voici une preuve manifeste qu’à l’heure de prédire la fin de certaines
tendances il faudrait avant tout s’interroger sur le but des choses. En gros avant de
prédire la fin d’une génération d’outils et services a peine nés
il importe avant de tout de se demander quelle est leur utilité, leur valeur. Car crise ou
pas crise on sera davantage enclin à payer pour un service utile qu’utiliser
gratuitement un service inutile alors qu’on pourrait faire quelque chose de plus productif
à la place.
L’exemple de LinkedIn est édifiant sur ce point. D’accord la
levée de fonds était bouclée depuis aout, mais tout de même. C’est tout
simplement la preuve que lorsqu’un service délivre une réelle valeur pour
laquelle un certain nombre d’utilisateurs sont prêts à ouvrir leur porte monnaie
l’avenir est tout de même plus rose. Qui paierait pour utiliser Facebook ? Ou twitter
? Certainement pas moi.
Depuis qu’on nous repête chaque matin que le monde s’effondre ma boite mail et
mon téléphone connaissent un net sucroit d’activité. Un point commun à
tout cela : des gens qui cherchent des gens qui…
· Il va me falloir monter une équipe “commando” pour passer les deux
prochaines années, tu connaitrais pas quelqu’un qui aurait ce profil ? Je
préfère “insourcer” quelques “top guns” car il va falloir se
battre dur.
· Hé tu connais quelqu’un chez Untel ? Impossible de les toucher en ce moment
mais il me faudrait vraiment un contact ?
· On est en short list chez un client et là c’est vraiment dur. Tu connais bien
le décideur tu pourrais le rassurer sur notre fiabilité ?
· Dis tu as des nouvelles d’untel ? Ca fait des années que je l’ai perdu de
vue et là j’aurais bien besoin d’un petit de coup de pouce. Il travaille
toujours chez Truc hein ? Tu as gardé le contact avec hein ? Tu sais comment le joindre ?
Discussion de fin de semaine avec des amis commerciaux. “Bon on est tous dans des
entreprises différentes, non concurrentes, ce serait bien qu’on s’organise pour
se repasser les bons tuyaux quand on voit une opportunité pour l’un d’entre nous
chez un de nos clients respectifs”. Petit sourire en coin de ma part…je n’avais
jamais réussi à les convaincre de l’utilité d’une logique de
réseau. “Quand on est bon on a pas besoin des autres pour vendre”. Sauf en temps
de crise.
Bref on redécouvre l’intérêt d’avoir un réseau large, entretenu
et à jour. Qu’il s’agisse de contacts extérieurs à l’entreprise
ou même de ses propres collègues : il faut aller vite et sauter sur la moindre
occasion. Il faut donc se connaitre, échanger, discuter. En interne comme en externe.
J’en reviens donc à l’ami Davenport. Je ne pense pas qu’il faille
raisonner en termes d’outils mais de service. Il prend l’exemple de Second Life (qui
avec la maturité acquise par l’expérience est en train de trouver sa propre
seconde vie) en disant que les gens n’auront surement plus le temps ni l’envie de
s’y balader. Je suis d’accord, sauf pour ceux dont le métier fait que ça
leur est indispensable. Par contre des outils qui délivrent à un vrai service à
finalité professionnelle ont un bel avenir. Il y a les services qui se définissent par
leur utilisation et ceux qui se définissent par ce qu’ils permettent : les seconds
survivront.
Je n’ai plus le temps ou l’envie d’utiliser ça ou ça, mais j’ai
besoin de trouver des contacts, des prospects, des partenaires, et ce plus que jamais. En interne
comme en externe. Toute la nuance est là. C’est ce qui différencie les facebook,
twitter de Linkedin ou de plateformes de réseaux internes/externes dédiés au monde
de l’entreprise.
Ca n’est pas l’outil qui crée sa finalité, en tout cas plus ces temps ci.
Mais la finalité appellera toujours l’outil.
PS : J’ai peut être été un peu rapide avec Facebook et twitter. On me disait
dernièrement “c’est dur, j’ai pas le moral, finalement ça fait du
bien d’avoir un endroit où on se sent avec ses amis, où on prend un bol
d’air”. Pas faux non plus. Quoiqu’il en soit, plus les temps sont durs plus le
lien prend de la valeur. Qu’on se le dise.
AKMA sez, "Benedict XVI, whom I actually admire a lot as popes go, has lapsed into the tedious
reflex of blaming digital technology for the decadence of youth. Vatican Radio reports that
Benedict met with professors and students in Parma, and warned them that because of digital
technology, 'students' capacity for concentration and mental application on a personal level are
reduced; on the other hand there is a danger that the students isolate themselves in an
increasingly virtual reality.' I can understand, to some extent, his resistance to the change in
mode-of-attention that accompanies online activity, but it's disappointing to see him falling for
the bugaboo of replacement panic." Pope Benedict on the Nature of University Reform (Thanks,
AKMA!)...br style="clear: both;"/ a

How sez, "California hipster artist Shag has created 13 new art pieces commemorating the 40th
Anniversary of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion attraction. I've collected all the details (and art)
known to date about the upcoming event in August of 2009 in one post." What's not to like? Shag's
art + the best ride Disney's Imagineers ever built = sheer heaven! Details are still a little
sketchy (pardon the pun) at this time, but it appears that a range of merchandise will be created
based on the art: at the very least, Shag will be signing prints on Sunday, August 9th at the park.
Buyers, however, will get the first opportunity to buy the prints at a cocktail party the evening
of the 8th where Shag will be the guest of honor. Here’s hoping that they hold the event in
the Mansion itself — Walt Disney World has done dinners in the stretch rooms in
the past — what a blast it would be to party where “candle lights flicker
where the air is deathly still.” Shag Haunted Mansion art event (Thanks, How!)...br

eWeek: "The latest version of Canonical's Linux distribution, Ubuntu 8.10, still
outshines the Linux desktop offerings from Red Hat and Novell, and is the best open-source
alternative to Microsoft and Apple operating systems."
Canadian media magnate Ted Rogers, founder and CEO of Rogers Communications, has died.
Rogers, 75, died at his Toronto home, surrounded by loved ones, said a statement from the company's
board of directors. He had recently been admitted to hospital for an existing cardiac
condition.
"We wish to express our deepest sympathy to Loretta and all of the Rogers family for this loss,"
said Alan Horn, Chairman of Rogers Communications and acting CEO.
"Ted Rogers was one of a kind who built this company from one FM radio station into Canada's
largest wireless, cable and media company — a leader also in giving to the community through
his and Loretta's many philanthropic initiatives. He will be sadly missed."
Rogers continued to play an active role in the company, which owns the Toronto Blue Jays, five
Citytv television stations across the country as well as the Rogers cable TV, wireless and radio
and magazine businesses.
Funeral arrangements will be announced by the family.
Invested in high-speed, wireless
Rogers, who founded his company in 1960, was known as an outspoken, sometimes unpredictable leader,
known for going against the grain and taking risks that paid off in the end.
Rogers Communications has built itself almost as much on image as on its services, placing its name
on the Toronto stadium once known as the SkyDome, buying the Toronto Blue Jays and investing in
cutting-edge services for its customers.
Rogers's investment in high-speed internet around the turn of the millennium was one of the pivotal
decisions that solidified the company's presence on the market.
He believed that while only a limited number of people would subscribe to high-speed services
initially, the investment would pay off in the long term.
About 15 years earlier, Rogers was also the driver behind a decision to invest in wireless
technologies, which were only in their infancy at the time.
The board of directors for Rogers Communications will form a search committee to find his
replacement, the company news release said.
The easiest way to do this is to download the Calaboration tool from Google’s site, which automatically finds all of
your calendars and allows you to choose which ones you’d like to add to iCal. Voila!
