Ralph Losey: Information Governance v Search: The Battle Lines Are Redrawn

This is an important (and LONG!) post and I think I'm closer to Ralph's position than the alternative. Given the explosive growth in information, and the continued and growing tension between disposition and Big Data's "save-it-in-case-we-need-it" position, I think Ralph is on to something here.

The Verge: Keurig's attempt to 'DRM' its coffee cups totally backfired. Reason number 1,048,576 why DRM is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea nearly 100% of the time.

Don Leuders: The Automated Information Lifecycle Management Model: Part 2 – Records Management at a Tipping Point

Agree with the tipping point part and I know the two vendors listed have some good stuff (as do others) but hoping the next update or two have a bit more "there" there. The information professionals out there get the tipping point part but need to know how to address it effectively - and "buy software" isn't the answer by a long shot.

Slide shows

Dear marketers and their web design minions,

If you think your article on the "Top 10 Reasons to Do X" will get more clicks because it's in a snazzy slide show, with one picture/article per reason, it won't. So don't do it.

And if you prolong the agony by making it 4-5 slides with 1 pithy line of text per slide, I hope you die in the fire of a thousand suns.
