Web 2.0 @ SAP – new business process innovations coming up with Eventus

at blip.tv you will find a video on SAP’s newest innovations. This is sooo cool and you haven’t seen such things before!!!

Quote: Preview of an SAP Netweaver innovation project in development:
Unexpected events disrupt structured business processes, e.g. the discontinuation of a manufacturing part by a supplier.
End users can build a situational composite application to address the need of their situation, add content from different sources, and invite co-workers and experts to resolve the problem.
Eventus captures the collective intelligence in a rich context, and provides actionable best practices.

Remember the milk – Web 2.0 ToDo list

As a lot of you already know:

http://www.rememberthemilk.com/

This is a nice new tool for writing a to do list and get notifications whereever you want…

I found this at RWW in the survey of “what are your favorite web app”

 The winner was Twitter (my Twitter: Michael1980) and the Adobe Air client Twirhl also was in that list

here is the complete result:

New Coldplay Single for free

The Band Coldplay offers (once more) a free download on their homepage. Not like Radiohead of their complete album (Radiohead isn’t signed at the moment). But EMI which is the label of Coldplay (and a but in trouble at the moment due to some private equity investors) apparently thinks about the future of music and allows Coldplay to offer one song for free. According to IFPI data the only thing that works at the moment are single a la carte downloads but not album downloads.

So the business model is a bit unclear but leads to the right direction. Knowing that the 95% which are not paying for music at the moment somehow or other can not be reached. How this trend will end in the future? The only sense could be to make the consumer go to the live concerts when they like the song. So no more economies of scale but more a service model is targeted here. 

Hm, I am still waiting for the E-Mail with the link for the song download(4-43PM –> now  i already wait since 10 minutes).

Update: i just received it (4-47PM). First impression: I do not understand why the file is packed with zip. Ok, it saved 2k of internet traffic but a lot of user who try a download for the first time could be deterred. My mother for example would like to try out legal online downloads but is not techi enough to understand what to do with a zip file. I am not sure what the industry thinks how to get more people to legal downloads when they make it unnecessary difficult for the users. The digital natives download the album anyway via bit torrent and in mp3, without DRM easy to use etc. But please do not try to convince people to buy online when make it on purpose difficult for people which make the first steps in online downloads.

 

but nevertheless, thanks for the song, it is really cool and i hope to see them live again soon

 

SAP Corporate Social Responsibility Day – SAPlings Day 2008

At the weekend was the SAPlings 2008 day where more than 500 SAP employees supported social projects around the Rhein-Neckar Region. In addition employees form  Munich and Hamburg participated in one of the 42(!) projects in there cities.

Last saturday they employees engaged themselves in several different projects e.g. to help homeless people in Heidelberg or renovated a school in Dossenheim or developed marketing concepts for the elementary schools.

There are several videos @ Youtube  

Some more information on SAP CSR could be found in the SAP Feeding Knowledge Blog

Here is a first impression (in german). In Germany it is called “Freiwilligentag”.

 

Seitwert, Egometer and social networks

I just found a german social network ranking which was built with www.seitwert.de a nice tool SEO check tool. I alread used such a page last year but forgot the name, it was something like Egometer or so.

On No.1 as expected www.xing.com, no2 www.studivz.de and no3, i never heard of… www.spin.de

Read the complete list at seitwert or at the german web 2.0 blog zweinull.cc with an analysis.

Of course I just checked my own blog and all the other pages like this or this or this or this

And according to Alexa.com my blog is up to place 500.000something from no 2,100,005 last month, not bad but still not very satisfying.
