Green media booms with buyouts… August 22, 2007 · Filed under And another thing…
There’s a lot of clean and green media madness going on at the moment, with a frenzy of buyouts occurring.

Cleantechblog points out that:
The Cleantech Group yesterday acquired “Inside Greentech, an emerging media outlet for the green sector, for an undisclosed amount.”
A few weeks ago, Treehugger.com was acquired by Discovery Channel for $10m, it is thought. [Check out the story here]
And “Lightspeed Ventures and Northpoint Private Equity recently backed the launch of Greentech Media, including the acquisition of the cleantech focused Venture Power Newsletter - popular in the venture capital sector.”
Well spotted – and well done to those boys and girls.

Probably the best story of practical 2.0 I’ve seen. Even Mum would get it (maybe!!).

What is Enterprise 2.0?
Well they say a picture paints a thousand words, so take a look at ‘Meet Charlie’ which is my take on what Enterprise 2.0 looks like in it’s simplest form.

Time boxing is a time management technique common in software development projects to plan out a project, for example the creation of a new IT system, by splitting the project up in a number of separate time periods (normally two to six weeks long). Each part has its own deadline and its own budget. By incrementally finishing one part at a time, a project can be successfully delivered.
The important thing about Time Boxing is that the dates are not flexible, but the deliverables are. Without time boxing, when the deliverables cannot be delivered, the deadline slips. With time boxing, the deadline is fixed, and the deliverables are adjusted (hopefully in agreement with the customer/user). This goes hand-in-hand with MoSCoW prioritization of deliverables. Time Boxing is a core element of the rapid application development software development process and of DSDM.
Time boxing and agile software development techniques go hand-in-hand: With time boxing regular delivery of working software is ensured, and agile software development ensures the delivery of the highest priority value as defined by the stakeholders.

Us creative types know how difficult it can be to get a really good cup of tea, so this colour matching mug should make the whole process fool-proof.

Never underestimate the power of 1980s nostalgia - the iconic Cadbury’s Wispa will be back on the shelves on 8 October after concerted pressure from Internet campaigners to reinstate the bar.
