Review Wikis at Work:“Social software is software that we really can’t use if we’re not on the network or that’s not useful to us just sitting in front of an isolated PC. ” That statement by Harvard Business School Associate Professor Andrew McAfee—an expert on social software and the originator of the term “Enterprise 2. 0”—sums up the nature and allure of social networking and the power of social software applications like wikis to connect people on common internet-enabled platforms for collaboration and communication purposes. Isolated software has its place in the enterprise; but social software—through the power of network effects—has the ability to unlock and unleash valuable latent knowledge.

Review Video Content Consumption and the Rise of PC Based Video:Almost a decade ago, consumers began their transition to a PC dominated form of content consumption in the audio space as they migrated from the disc to the Internet as a source for content. And now, this same transition appears to be in the beginning phases for video as well. But just how far along this journey are consumers? How does the usage of a PC as a source for video content compare to more traditional sources? And how much video content are consumers viewing at various devices and on various sources. All of this and more is explored in CEA's new Video Content Consumption and the Rise of PC Based Video study.

Review Innovation Paves the Way for BigBand Networks:The big guys are always after the little guys. Larger vendors such as Motorola, Cisco and Ericsson have already put napkins on their laps and started acquiring key niche vendors focused on video headend solutions, which Yankee Group refers to as the video service infrastructure (VSI) market. Motorola has swallowed up Tut Systems, Modulus Video and Terayon in the past year, adding to its acquisitions portfolio of General Instrument, Kreatel Communications and Broadbus Technologies. Cisco has been relatively quiet after its Scientific Atlanta and Arroyo acquisitions. Ericsson snagged TANDBERG Television to establish a strong position in the video market.

Review Finding Value in Context: Giga Research Digest / MarketResearch.com:Context is important. When we retrieve a document, we may know who wrote it, when it was written and where it resides, but we have little or no insight into its creation, its evolution, how it has been used, how well it performed or what it was intended to do. Intent is of particular note: it not only describes issues around the content, but issues about understanding the context of the information requester. Search engines, for example, must glean intent from one or two words entered into a search box on a Web page. They do not, however, understand the context of the requester, nor do they attempt to leverage the context of the documents to increase the search relevancy. This issue of the Research Digest features a cover story on the value of context in computing. This 120-page Research Digest issue also offers Giga Research from across the broad spectrum of IT, with 70 IdeaBytes and 45 Planning Assumption position statements, plus 5 GigaCollaboration pieces. Also in this issue, read Marc Cecere’s piece, "Common Mistakes in IT Management," which pulls together findings from all of Giga’s coverage areas about common snafus in each individual area, plus a Spotlight on Enterprise Business Applications by Paul Hamerman.

Review The Importance of Consistency in Web Sites: Giga Research Digest / MarketResearch.com:Usability testing consistently shows that between one-half and three-quarters of Web site visitors leave without finding what they came for — even when it is provided on the Web site. It is common practice for companies to pour money into Web site content and design. All the while, these expensive features on the Web site are missed by half of the people looking for them and as a result, much of the value of the investment is lost. Consistent landmarks, trail markers and signs provide the only definition of the landscape to guide your visitors. When there is inconsistency, frustration levels mount, site branding does not occur and corporate branding is negatively affected. Companies need to provide consistency on their Web sites to support visitor success, conventional expectations and branding. Few experimental studies deal with consistency on Web pages. However, research dealing with consistency levels in PC-based software packages has shown that increasing the consistency levels of interfaces reduces error rates, learning time, task completion times and increases satisfaction. Read this important issue of the Research Digest and learn how to provide consistency on your Web site. This Research Digest is 115 pages long. [+]In addition to the feature research on the importance of consistency in Web sites, this issue contains 45 Planning Assumption position statements and 58 IdeaBytes to help executives make effective business decisions.
