I was expecting 4 attendees this morning for the second OpenCoffee Manchester event but only 3 turned up at the end. Here is the list of attendees: David Hawdale (Hawdale Associates) Manoj Ranaweera (moi!) Paul Robinson (Vagueware) David had some interesting ideas around "green" and "free style" themes. We spoke about how these can be further developed and commercialised. Hopefully, David walked away with more thoughts than he came in! Paul spoke about a "localised news aggregator" idea he has been thinking of, and why he thinks Google’s Adsense/Adwords model is under threat. We also spoke about the big game…

Citizendium is a competing wiki to Wikipedia created by one of Wikipedia’s co-founders, Dr. Larry Sanger. My regular readers know how I feel about Wikipedia. So Citizendium once populated would hopefully be my first reference point. This is what Forrester has to say. Josh Bernoff, a vice president at Forrester Research, said he sees a place for Citizendium on the social-media scene, and noted that corporations are extremely frustrated with Wikipedia’s policies. "Companies have had real challenges getting their perspective on the facts addressed in Wikipedia," he explained. "You can file a complaint but there is no real protection against…

In December 2005, I reported the acquisition of Harbor Payments by American Express. At the time, American Express claimed that Harbor technology would become the basis of its Source-to-Settle (S2S) e-purchasing system, driving greater levels of cost savings while improving control and compliance requirements across its customer base. Today, American Express (Amex) announced further information about its S2S proposition, S2S(SM) eInvoice&Pay. In their press release, Amex claimed that their proposition is the first fully integrated Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment (EIPP) solution. Amex needs to explain how they arrived at such conclusion, as there are plenty of other solutions offering…
