Luis,

Since you are involved with the use of social software/Web 2.0 apps for the enterprise, I would like to get your opinion about HyLighter and whether you think it has any value for internal use at IBM as well as an application for large enterprises in general.

We have talked to many people at IBM and perhaps because IBM builds Web 2.0 apps it is harder to get attention.

I would ask you to review our website as well as try it out with other colleagues either within IBM or external people.

We had at one time an earlier version on the TAP server but because we were external to IBM no one ever championed it & it was eventually taken down. We have since then revised the application significantly to make it much easier to use.

I hope you will take some time to look at HyLighter and provide your feedback and would like to help us should you see merit.

Thanks,
Ben Minsk
VP of Sales & Business Development

Hiya, Rick! Funny enough I’m pretty much like yourself; although I don’t send emails anymore, I do get to read a couple of times the blog posts, re-edit myself a few times before I can post it and all of that before I do a final read out loud, so that it makes sense; perhaps an obsession, I just can’t help it, probably pretty much like yourself… Either way, I still think it’s a healthy exercise to share the best of what it comes out.

Thanks much for the kind comments on my blogging style; glad you find it interesting and somewhat provocative; that’s been the intent all along and doubt it would change much any time soon… unless I go through some drastic changes myself as to who I am. Yeah, not likely to happen any time soon! hehe

Hi Wilson! Many thanks for dropping by and for the great feedback comments! I greatly appreciate your insights and hope that I haven’t cut off too much from what things used to be a few weeks back; must confess it’s been a couple of interesting weeks where I myself am starting to see some changes on that style without sacrificing too much of the original style I doubt would disappear; it’s who I am and how things go and somehow to me it’s all part of an evolution of blogging styles, but still with the core of it right where it should.

Hopefully, I haven’t deviated too much into that brevity you mentioned above and which, I agree, is good for things like Twitter and Facebook, but maybe not for blogging

Thanks again for dropping by!

Just don’t be like me, Luis. I think I re-read emails at least three times before I’m prepared to send them. I suspect it slows me down a tad, but I’m kind of obsessive about spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Of course, it bleeds over into my blogging as well. I have always found your style of blogging interesting and provocative, so don’t beat yourself up too much.

I can see the point re conversational drift or unproductive verbosity, but I don’t believe these are major issues with your blogging.

PLEASE do not succumb to sound bites and Twitterist stylings! We need some people to speak in-depth, to explore a topic fully. I would prefer to see someone fleshing out their thoughts and considering multiple angles. Your column would certainly be less interesting were you to substantially embrace brevity for the sake of it.

Hi Jack! Thanks a lot for dropping by and for the feedback comments! I actually don’t think you would be missing out on anything essential; perhaps the only change I have introduced up to this point is sharing some of those insights in a much more straightforward pace than before, so folks can cut to the chase sooner, rather than experiencing that “meandering charm” that David referred to above.

So far, not planning on changing my blogging style drastically, so I would think those changes are somewhat limited… Let’s see how things go from here for the next couple of weeks …

Thanks again for the kind feedback and speak to you soon! (Hope you had a safe flight back home!)

I hope you all aren’t looking at me like I am crazy. I truly enjoy Luis’ insights – my comments to him were that I cannot always get what those insights are.

Let’s hope we don’t lose anything essential due to my tweeted comment!

Hiya Gil! LOL!!! Actually, I have always enjoyed your own blogging style of providing lots of superb background with a nice finish and thought-provoking conclusions in most cases that surely make you think twice about things! Really nice example of what I try to aim as well with some of my blogging!

Thanks for that leading example, my friend! And surely hope to see you soon again! Thanks for dropping by and for the lovely feedback!
