Mr Borland looks back and ahead. A few quotes:

Selon l’Initiative des Alpes, environ 12 000 camions passent chaque année par les montagnes suisses pour transporter de l’eau embouteillée depuis l’Italie et la France.

As an extend to a previous post “Blogging l’entreprise” here is Why Blogs Could Be Bad for Business in which Neil McIntosh comments that business weblogging will not be adopted in the way being touted today and a change of culture will be needed.

And, alas, changing that kind of culture is going to take far more than merely installing a smart piece of software on a server, and encouraging everyone to blog on.
