Tech Link Round Up

No time for a full-blown post today folks... so I thought I'd share some links of interest:

• Cloud Computing is Stupid according to Richard Stallman -- Its just an excuse Google and Amazon invented for holding your data for ransom. Many disagree...
• 10 Facts About Document Management -- Pam Doyle put together an ECM presentation for a recent AIIM road show, and it had some pretty nteresting numbers for folks who want to calculate ROI
• Gartner's Latest Magic Quadrant on Enterprise Content Management -- Pie Guy has a good analysis. The people you expect are in the leaders quadrant (Oracle, EMC, IBM, Microsoft). Be sure to read the full report as well. Notably, the open source Alfresco finally made the list...
• 8 Things To Watch For In The Coming Recession -- since ECM folks like to say they improve efficiency, this is a pretty good post on how you can cut costs by making your information management processes more efficient.
• Tony Byrne Defends Blogging -- those oh so clueful at Wired speculated that the economic downturn would reduce blogging. Maybe, maybe not... I agree with Seth Godin that people will re-focus on whatever helps them grow a "tribe," whether it be Web 2.0, Web 1.0, or just plain old word of mouth.
