]]> Security in the cloud http://www.ppcsoft.com/blog/sep-10.asp#security-in-the-cloud http://www.ppcsoft.com/blog/iknow-update-september-2010.asp Wed, 22 Sep 2010 06:00:00 GMT One of the great advantages of cloud applications vs. desktop applications is instant updates.

If a bug is found, or a security threat is discovered, cloud applications can update themselves and all users are automatically updated (unlike desktop applications like Firefox and PpcSoft iKnow where you have to download and install an update).

However, the reverse is also true, as was shown by Twitter yesterday.

They updated Twitter.com, and included an old bug which introduced an old security flaw to all users of Twitter.com.

Yes, from one day to the next, the web site you've been using was suddenly dangerous to use - without your knowledge, and without you doing anything at all !

Cloud applications can fix bugs and security problems and automatically 'distribute' them to all their users, but cloud applications can also introduce new bugs and security threats anytime - you have no control over this !

TechCrunch reported it here: Twitter security flaw (TechCrunch).

For the record: PpcSoft iKnow is a desktop application that saves all data locally, and is not connected to the internet. PpcSoft iKnow does not use automatic updates either, so you have 100% control of if and when you want to update it.



]]> PpcSoft iKnow minor update September 2010 http://www.ppcsoft.com/blog/iknow-update-september-2010.asp http://www.ppcsoft.com/blog/iknow-update-september-2010.asp Tue, 21 Sep 2010 06:00:00 GMT

We've released a minor update addressing some bugs and adding a small feature.

Bug fixes

- Lost hyperlinks in some cases when renaming a note.
- autolinks and hyperlinks couldn't have the same name (the autolinks were automatically converted into hyperlinks)

Hyperlinks are very robust now, but as always, we appreciate your feedback and help in finding and fixing bugs. Our goal is a 100% bug-free product !


New feature: Open note from Image Browser

If you capture web pages you can preview them in the image browser. In addition, when you click on a preview to view a large version, PpcSoft iKnow will show the hyperlink at the bottom of the picture.

This URL can be clicked to automatically open the web page directly from the image browser.

You can now open a note directly from the preview by clicking on the link below the image if there is an autolink in the same sentence as the hyperlink. This can be very useful for lists with images.

]]> PpcSoft iKnow and information overload http://www.ppcsoft.com/blog/iknow-information-overload.asp http://www.ppcsoft.com/blog/iknow-information-overload.asp Tue, 14 Sep 2010 06:00:00 GMT Information overload and PpcSoft iKnow

An interesting infographic in Fast Company about information overload.

The infographic illustrates the rapid growth of new information compared to the fixed amount of time that we have available to digest it all.

According to Clay Shirky, the problem is filter failure, not information overload.

As the amount of information increases, we need better filters to help us get the most useful bits with minimal effort.

When we designed PpcSoft iKnow, we researched how to successfully cope with huge amounts of information, and found that the answer was Wikipedia and Google.

]]> The case for sharing with a KM system http://www.ppcsoft.com/blog/mar-10.asp#sharing-with-km http://www.ppcsoft.com/blog/mar-10.asp#sharing-with-km Fri, 26 Mar 2010 06:00:00 GMT Why some smart people don't help other people?

1. Smart people are also human beings. They cannot scale
2. It's not just 'five minutes'
3. 1-1 help requests put a dent on leverage
4. Your request may have gotten just the attention it truly deserves
5. Dig your well before you are thirsty
6. What is meaningful to you need not be meaningful to them

Sharing your knowledge in a KM system may reduce your "1-1 help requests" and help more people too ! See The value of knowledge for tips on which knowledge you should share in a KM system.

]]> PpcSoft iKnow for Mac OS X and Linux http://www.ppcsoft.com/blog/iknow-mac-linux.asp http://www.ppcsoft.com/blog/iknow-mac-linux.asp Thu, 11 Mar 2010 06:00:00 GMT PpcSoft iKnow is a tool designed for Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / 7.

However, to avoid lock-in we have created a simple, text-based dataformat that can be viewed and edited in any standard text-editor on any platform.

In addition, thanks to the wonders of virtualization you can run PpcSoft iKnow in other OS'es using virtualization software like VMWare.
