Secure Enterprise 2.0 Blog

6:00AM – Bzzzzz. My cell phone alarm clock throws me off the bed, subtly reminding me that I need to get myself in gear. I tune in online to the 101FM website for local news, and learn that today is going to be a nice, bright, sunny day. Yay, that means I can snap on my iPod and peddle to the office on my 10-speed.

6:35AM – Just got out of the shower, and couldn’t resist - going through my Facebook profile. Apparently a friend from the London office just changed his status to “Engaged”. I send him a quick Congrat’s… and throw a sheep at him. He is online, not happy about the sheep, and reminds me that today our group needs to send him the Momo Project presentation. I log into my company’s enterprise social network, WorkBook, and send him the latest draft just to calm him down.

7:30AM – After a nice ride through downtown, I lockup my bike near the sandwich place. Got to get some coffee. As I wait for the morning’s caffeine intake, I twitter a quick “anyone for coffee?” using my cell to see if anyone following me at the office is also craving some Java. Surprisingly enough, two people from the Java team respond with a resounding yes. I should have seen that one coming.

9:45AM - Just got out of the weekly meeting. There’s some good stuff happening and more to come in the pipeline. I get on my laptop, and see on SharePoint that someone from the New Delhi office had formed a new group on the secure WorkBook social network focused on Marketing Initiatives. That’s interesting, I don’t know him personally, but apparently he is looking into similar things. I join up and we brainstorm some new ideas on the upcoming product release. I need to show my boss some of this stuff.

10:30AM – My boss is excited my the del.icio.us bookmarks I shared with her, following my discussion with the New Delhi contact (aka @asiamarketman on twitter. From now on I follow him). She’s going to bring it up in the next management meeting. Cool.

12:10PM – I go down to the sandwich place for a quick bite. Nothing fancy, but worth a Facebook status update – “..is eating. This time no MSG.”

2:07PM – I log into LinkedIn and see that one of our competitors has posted a Q&A about SEO. I need to read up on it, so I open up my RSS reader and skim the techy blogs. ReadWriteWeb has some nice info that I share with some people at R&D, and quickly set up a specialized RSS feed on the topic. Immediately three people from R&D ask to get access to the feed, so I give them permission.

4:26PM – Just got off the phone with some potential partners. There is good chemistry there and I like their attitude. There is something to be said about setting up strategic partnerships at this stage of our company’s growth, and I plan to post a quick entry about it on my blog later tonight.

6:15PM – Kept busy writing up the new proposals on the wiki and finally posted them to our network. Sweet, I see that my buddy at the L.A. office just downloaded it through the secure Facebook overlay.

7:23PM – Before packing up, I remember I need to get approval for my business trip expenses, so I post a request on my iGoogle gadget. I see that my manager has already approved my upcoming vacation request. That was fast. I go downstairs, get on my bike and head home. Another good day at the office.

10:25PM – Changed Facebook status to “…Zzzzzzz :-)”
