Corporate Bandwidth 2.0
With the world moving towards Web2.0, the internet of Video’s, Podcasts, Screencasts and everything in your browser window, the hunger for Bandwidth increases! Corporate world does tackle this problem by curbing the access to ‘unproductive’ resources. Well, that’s right in a way, but the question that arises to my mind is How Long? When are companies going to shift their gears and turn themselves v2.0?
All of the content sharing has shifted to video’s which gives the end-user a better UX. Though there could be much content which could be termed as ‘unproductive’, still one must not forget the other side of the coin which offers vast resource of helpful information.
I would just say, Google search could be used for various ‘unproductive’ search as well, but does that qualify to block Google(or any Search site for that matter) from being used for productive use in corporate world?? I am sure most of us would not even live a day without visiting a search site page (for me Google).
I believe no one would like to keep an employee who sits doing nothing but ‘unproductive’ work? And I feel every employee of any organization would be very well aware of that!
So, I would vote for tackling the Web2.0 world by not blocking access to them, but becoming one of them!
Lord, may the Corporate Bandwidth turns green to 2.0. Amen! J

The Euro English
The European Commission has announced an agreement whereby English will be
the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was
the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English
spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in
plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make
the sivil servants jump with joy.
The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up
konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like
fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to
reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments
will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a
deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is
disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with
"z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining
"ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu
understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze
forst plas!
