$100 million has overshadowed the pivot it made in an attempt to remain relevant.
Joe Fernandes, Klout's CEO, claimed in a recent interview that the change was in response to players who kept asking how they can increase their score. Klout's score is essentially based on the number of mentions and retweets a person's content receives across Twitter, and to a lesser extent, other social networks. For Klout's players, any tactic or tool that will help artificially inflate their scores is certainly a welcome addition to the game. The higher your score is, the more likely they'll receive Klout Perks, a hodgepodge of free product samples and trial offers from businesses who pay Klout for access to you.

A recent study completed by Gartner titled Survey Analysis: Adoption of Cloud ERP, 2013 Through 2023 published on January 24, 2014, written by Nigel Rayner advises CIOs and application leaders of financial services institutions to “consider cloud ERP as a potential replacement for aging core ERP systems that are out of support or running on an old technology platforms (such as mainframes).“
The methodology is based on a survey of Gartner Research Circle members from North America, EMEA, APAC and Latin America from companies that range in size from $10M to $10B.Two-tier ERP is the Trojan Horse of cloud ERP. If Gartner had asked their respondents about if and how cloud-based ERP systems are being considered and used in two-tier ERP strategies globally, their survey and previous forecasts would have been significantly different.

Despite social proof casting doubt on their veracity, it seems that social scoring platforms continue to be popular in social media marketing. We shouldn’t be surprised; these tools offer a quick, if not effective, means of identifying those who might help brand messages cut through the growing online noise. Despite this, I’m still rather optimistic on the future of influence marketing. I posit an alternative: The Next Level of Influence – Cognitive Dissonance

It’s time to realize that mobile isn’t a device, it’s a state of mind. People need to adopt a mobile mindset. It’s not about the specific device that you use but what you are able to do with it. A device itself isn’t a tool either. It’s just one piece of the puzzle that fits together in this landscape of enablement.

So I've accepted the challenge to say something different on this tired subject, or at least say it differently. I'm taking the "senior executive sponsorship, experienced team, clear objectives" mantra for granted here, and have tried to distill it all down to just a few succinct points that, I sincerely hope, encapsulate the issues, and will make a real and tangible difference if heeded.
In my humble opinion therefore, why do these projects underperform so badly, and so often fail outright? Why do we so often get it wrong?

The past few weeks, or really the past few years, have given us plenty of examples of Amazon slowly but surely cranking up their disruptive aspect when it comes to supply chains. Of course, when we think of Amazon we think of the giant of eCommerce. A company that has not physical retail channel but one that can sell us anything from a copy of the Iliad to furniture to baby’s diapers. For me Amazon is the biggest winner from the crazy dot com days of the late 1990s. The giants associated with that era – Yahoo, AOL, WebVan, eBay, Geocities, Lycos – to name a few.

I was a little surprised and more than a little delighted when Ray asked me to join Orbits. Surprised because my mission is “to anticipate and shape the future of business” in general—I’m not an analyst of the technology industry. That said, my work has always been rooted in how technology was enlarging the envelope of the global economy.

If anonymity is important, what is the legal basis for defending it?
Against a backdrop of spying revelations and excesses by social media companies especially in regards to facial recognition, there have been recent calls for a "new jurisprudence of anonymity"; see Yale law professor Jed Rubenfeld writing in the Washington Post of 13 Jan 2014. I wonder if there is another way to crack the nut? Because any new jurisprudence is going to take a very long time.
Instead, I suggest we leverage the way most international privacy law and privacy experience -- going back decades -- is technology neutral with regards to the method of collection.
