The Links for August 8, 2008 - Week 10

One of the things I do for each week of class is post a list of 'Links for the Week'.  Most are about HR Technology, some are about other HR Topics, and some are just stuff I found interesting that week. 

Since tomorrow is the last class of the quarter, and the class wiki (where I post the links) is going to be 'sunsetted' in a few weeks, I figure I better get some of the best links migrated over here to the Blog.

So, here are (most) of the Links for Week 10.....

1. From 37signals - the  Backpackproduct can be used like the wiki for fast, easy intranet-type deployments


2. Yanks do what they always do - try to win this year - Yanks get Pudge


3. Sun Microsystems uses Second Life for a 12 Hour meeting designed on introducing employees from a newly acquired company to Sun - Meeting details


4. Article from E-week that theorizes that IT professionals should focus on Deploying Web 2.0 applications to their users. I still think it is HR that will and should take the lead in this area, but the article makes some decent points


5. Pirates do what they always do - give up and trade their best players away - MLB Trade recap


6. Searching for my lost ring with one of these


7. From the McKinsey Quarterly article Building the Web 2.0 Enterprise
