It was a weekend of extremes.  I am a huge Kentucky Wildcat fan for both football and basketball and on Saturday they had their big in state rivalry game against Louisville.  They were actually ahead in the series with 10 wins and 9 losses over the last 19 years, but you wouldn’t know it if…

I haven’t been doing a lot with my facebook account for a while.  However I have been thinking about Facebook as a ‘platform’ (note the lower case p) for PLM applications.  The underlying social networks that Facebook is built on would be a killer way to gather requirements for new products aimed at specific niches,…
