The wild popularity of Ajax fueled widespread usage of JavaScript. Almost
every web 2.0 application relies on JavaScript to deliver front end
interactivity. A growing list of JavaScript libraries (over 200+) are being
created by various Ajax developers, some of which have gathered significant
community adoption.
Though the usage of JavaScript code can lead to significant better overall
user experience, it can also bring problems if not used properly. Some of the
common performance related problems are:
Sluggish network and runtime performance. It is common to see web pages that
load several hundred kilobytes of JavaScript. The size of JavaScript
libraries ranges from kilobytes to several hundred kilobytes, or even
megabytes. Big footprint introduces not only longer download/parsing time,
but also bigger client side memory/CPU footprint. For some browsers,

Twit Or Fit launches today - effectively an idea borne of combining Twitter
with a site like Hot Or Not, where you rate the appearance of people
displayed. HotOrNot was recently sold for a rumored $20 million, but since
TwitOrFit relies on Twitter and therefore has little inherent intellectual
property, I somehow doubt it will attract a similar valuation. However, it is
already doing a lot of traffic and the US - Twitter’s biggest market
outside Japan - is only just waking up right now. (The site is coming out of
the UK, where Twit is slang for fool and Fit means good-looking).

Having used both sites for about two weeks, there is still a great deal I am
learning to do with both Ulitzer and Ning, but a reader asked if I would do a
quick comparison, so I will.
The obvious point for me is that the sites have two different objectives for
the writers. For Ning, the writer is trying to be involved in a niche
social network from scratch. For example, I have built my own social
network for marketers and salespeople called BuyerSteps. I created
BuyerSteps as a way for other professionals to join in a conversation around
the 21st century buyer. So, Ning represents a way to build a community.
In the case of Ulitzer, as a writer I am focused on getting readers from
within an existing audience. There are already thousands of readers coming
to the Ulitzer site, so if they are interested in my topics such as
marketing, they will find my articles as ... (more)
In a recent post to the CCIF mailing list, Bob Marcus outlined the coming
opportunties and challenges facing what he described as "Government Cloud
Storefronts". In the post he described Vivek Kundra's (US Federal CIO) vision
for the creation of a government Cloud Storefront. This Storefront (run by
GSA) which will be launched Sept 9th and will make Cloud resources (IaaS,
PaaS, SaaS) available to agencies with in the US federal Government. (an $80+
Billion a year IT organization).
What's also interesting is the US isn't alone in the vision of centralized
access points for procuring Cloud services and related applications. Several
other governments including the United Kingdom G-Cloud app store and the
Japanese Kasumigaseki Cloud are attempting to do the same with Japan spending
upwards of 250 million dollars on their initiative.

I was speaking with a few colleagues the other day about the different
benefits of social media as a whole, and blogging in particular. The folks
in the room had varying levels of social media involvement, from no
involvement at all to heavy involvement. Each of us discussed what we hope
to get out of social media, why we blog or might consider it, and how
businesses can benefit from blogging. The discussion went on for some time,
covering the wide ranging benefits from SEO opportunities to more frequent
customer touch points and everything in between. After a while, it quieted
down a bit and somebody asked me if they had missed anything on the list.
