Recently both BusinessWeek and Fast Company published their respective 50 most innovative companies list. I have “mashedup” both lists in the chart below and edited the lists a bit. (Where there is overlap I indicate the difference in ranking order between lists.) There was much to garner from these lists, beyond the corporate rankings individually. […]

Yesterday I tweeted (@carlfrappaolo) about a Boston Globe on ECM search company, Endeca. I was going to let it go at that; congratulations Endeca for getting the attention of the Sunday Globe and for having the popular press cover the fact that search is more than just findability and Google, that search can be used […]

Serendipitously, I am working on IAI’s soon to be […]
