Press Clippings

The initial listing of other technology news was culled from a variety of sources, including the NY Times, PC World, Technology Review, InfoWorld, Wired, etc. Please use the edit link above to add more (see format notes), or add comments on how or why you think they are important. As is the convention throughout the Horizon Project Wiki, we ask you to identify items you think are of high interest to us, as I have here [LJ], as a means of helping start the sifting process.

- Twitter, the enterprise’s third space (Fred Stutzman)
http://fstutzman.com/2008/08/26/twitter-the-enterprises-third-space/
When describing Twitter, I use a number of analogies. Most commonly, I think of Twitter as something like a slow-motion chatroom, or even a collection of away messages. I’ve got another one to add to this list: subject-only email. Thinking about Twitter this way helped me imagine enterprise integration of a Twitter-like service. I envisioned adding a “Twitter pane” to email clients - a pane for Twitter-like communication aside the inbox. This Twitter pane would act as an ongoing message thread away from the inbox, and its uses would be more conversational, informal and informative.
