Leading Questions for Week of 6/13/05
--I leave town for one week and miss an historic event in the computing world. Apple announced early last week that it was terminating its partnership with IBM and switching its computers to Intel chips. Opinions are all over the map on this. What's yours?
--We've discussed often on Guidewire the role of blogging in corporate communications. Now "blogger" has become the latest job opening at a growing number of companies. Businesses are hiring workers to write blogs, looking for candidates who effectively achieve the casual, conversational tone of a blog.
**Questions: Does this go against the original intent and aims of the blogging community? Or is it a natural next step for blogs? Can it enable a new level of open communication between companies and their customers?
--Hot Button topic of the week - Microsoft is helping the Chinese government censor its Web sites. Affecting all blogs created through the MSN space, the policy forbids certain words such as "democracy" and "human rights" and Microsoft, along with its Chinese business partner, is working with authorities to block such words.
**Questions: Where should Microsoft draw the line? Is its duty as a vendor to provide whatever the client requests? How far should a business go for its customers?
