I was fortunate to be able to call together a great group of people at a moment’s notice to host a flash panel at the Pepsico Podcast Playground at SXSW. I wanted to talk about a Wall Street Journal article where AMD blogged about something and then Intel said blogs weren’t the place to talk about important issues. I pulled together George Smith, Jr, from Crocs, Christopher Barger from GM, Keith Burtis from Best Buy, Bonin Bough from Pepsico, Pat Moorhead from AMD, and Morgan Johnston from JetBlue for a conversation.

What follows is a video from the flash panel. I hope you’ll watch it and share your thoughts.

Jim Groom, who administers the UMW group of WordPressMU blogs has placed a whole slew of videos online, which help users with WPMU, as well as migrate from WPMU-1.3.3 to WPMU-2.6.

The inimitable Andy Rush (a.k.a. EduRush) and I have been working diligently to create a whole slew of screencasts documenting the new interface for WPMu 2.6. We’ve finished a whole bunch of them over the last week or so and published them on the now official UMW Blogs Screencasts site, so below is a list of the screencasts we have created. All of the screencasts are Creative Commons and while they’re currently published as SWF files, we will be uploading them all to Blip shortly. Keep in mind that these screencasts are specific to the UMW Blogs installation, but they still may prove useful for anyone who wants to point people to a quick overview of the administrative backend, the changes between versions WPMu 1.3.3 and 2.6, and a very tab-specific discussion of the how to manage a WordPress blog.

Pretty neat huh?

Growing Pains: Can Web 2.0 Evolve Into An Enterprise Technology? — Web 2.0 — InformationWeek

Wikis, mashups, social networking, and even Second Life can have a place in business, but they need to improve legacy interoperability–and IT needs to overcome its skepticism.

Anyway, when we upgrade WordPressMU to the next version, we’ll likely need to ‘fix’ this again, so here’s $98 bucks worth of direction:

Changeset 1022 – WordPress MU Trac – Trac

Just change this:

$allowedposttags = array(
‘address’ => array(),
‘a’ => array(
‘href’ => array(), ‘title’ => array(),
‘rel’ => array(), ‘rev’ => array(),
‘name’ => array()
),

to this:

$allowedposttags = array(
‘address’ => array(),
‘a’ => array(
‘href’ => array(), ‘title’ => array(),
‘rel’ => array(), ‘rev’ => array(),
‘name’ => array(), ‘target’ => array()
),

NOTE: This change was downgraded to determine if it inexplicably affects bandwidth performance.

TinyMCE:Installation – Moxiecode Documentation Wiki

This is the Text Editor available for WordPress posting (Visual Edit mode). Pretty neat. Perhaps we’ll add a few items…

Here’re some more interesting TinyMCE links:

• WordPress TinyMCE page
• TinyMCE:Plugins/spellchecker
• Advanced TinyMCE Editor
• TinyMCE Advanced
• Tiny MCE Buttons
• TinyMCE: Configuration/valid elements

Perhaps, if I can ever find some time, I’ll be able to play around with this stuff.
