Interwoven–The Definitive Guide to Interwoven Teamsite

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

Boy… never knew technical writers can write so well.  Was just going through the foreword when I was dumb struck by the prose.  Check out the para below:

A digital flood is upon us. Content inundates us. It begins as bits of content swirling everywhere—a document, an image, a written corporate procedure, a web page, or an email. The binary mist mixes, combines, and rains down on us. It pools in laptops, on desktops, and in server farms. Creeks and streams meander to corporate reservoirs. Modern civilizations prosper and thrive as continents surrounded by oceans of content.

But content is a resource that must be actively managed in order to safeguard its freshness.  Left unmanaged, it seeps away, picks up funny odors, or simply becomes stale. It is no longer adequate to store content in odd-sized barrels and ladle out more to anyone who needs some.

Returning the Trolleys

Just came back from the States after a week of training.  Hmmm… just realised that they do indeed hire people to return trolleys back to their original locations!

So they really hire people to push the trolleys back in!

Was just reminded of my earlier article at:
