OneBox to Find Them All

For better or worse I was unable to make it to the AIIM show in Philadelphia last week - although via numerous reports of the trials and tribulations of getting around in Philly with a cab strike at hand make it sound as though, perhaps, I was lucky not to make the trip, although my colleague (and co-founder of Delphi Group) Carl Frappaolo gave a presentation on search, as well as participated in a panel, both of which were, I'm sure, fiery times, if you've had the fun of seeing Carl in action, you know what I mean (I'm the Bob Newhart/Tom Lehrer-type, and he is the direct opposite, which works well when we are doing tag-team presentations - yin and yang).

In a fit of exploration (on my part) of the many and varied Official Google Blogs today, I stumbled upon mention of a keynote by Dave Girouard, a VP and GM for Google - under the heading "Ready, AIIM, Search". Anyone who happened to sit in on the keynote, I would love to hear your first-hand account.

And this is another reminder that I need to fire up that podcast with Matthew Glotzbach, Head of Products, Google Enterprise. I don't always agree with Google, particularly on the enterprise side, but I sense a big wave coming along that may change that.

Matthew has a much more detailed post on his blog about the substance of the keynote in the post "'Search to Start' At AIIM" - the googlers certainly are busy, eh?

More as it happens,

Ah, and I'd forgotten - my initial romp through the Google Blogs today landed me at the entry "Google's 20-percent time in action" - and for the life of me, I had no idea what this fellow was talking about with the Google Reader. Turns out I had set up some RSS subscriptions in my google account weeks (months?) ago, and forgotten all about the Google Reader experience - must be the pull of NewsGator (and NetNewsWire - and the great sync they have between their desktop and web RSS reading solutions) and my recent meeting with Greg Reinacker, who I had only previously "met" via phone and webconference. For solution providers and users alike, if you happen to be in the Boston area, get in touch (hint, contact info is in my bio on www.delphigroup.com or just call the main number at 617-247-1511) - shaking someone's hand and looking them in the eye is a refreshing change from an endless procession of phone and Skype (and iChat audio/video) calls!
