Congratulations, Michael. And great decision, Charles!

I think there is no question that SI has established itself as the premier content provider in this space.

From Don Reisinger @ CNet:

It may be difficult to believe such a popular site could be worth nothing in a year, but the way I see it, it's certainly more likely than Twitter being worth $1 billion in that time.

As far as the doctor's concerned, it's worth nothing today! It goes down on a daily basis, restricts "twitters" to 140 bytes or less, and is bursting beyond capacity with self-indulgent twits who think they can be witty 24-hours a day! It's very existence is annoying!

Take the patient off of life support! (It's cruel to prolong such suffering.)

I don't think even the Google engineers could build a system that could maintain such ridiculous levels of spewage and not collapse under its own weight!

As far as I'm concerned, Twitter is nothing more than a bunch of twits trying to be witty in comments of 140 characters or less, and comments are NOT conversations, as Loren Feldman of 1938 Media so astutely notes:

Thanks for a very informative article. Being a blogger myself I found this most helpful, albeit I doubt that my blog will ever be enlisted in some company's PR strategy. Nonetheless, it has given me some ideas on how to develop my blog.

Tom:

I'm not sure what to tell you. This is a blog about sourcing & procurement and related processes and technologies, not about avionics. Furthermore, I expect most of the F-22 program would be classified (especially I've seen first hand employees print off public information from the internet, collect it in a binder, and stamp classified on it), so I can't exactly point you at another blog. Maybe another reader will chime in with advice!

Comment on Workforce Management: A Servigistics Approach

I worked on developing the Diagnostics and Health Maintenance Manager system for the F-22 Raptor. From what I’ve read, the Servigistics Workforce Management solution is integrated with Knowledge Management as well as a Parts Planning engine, which ensures that the most qualified technician arrives at the right time with the right parts to perform the service on the first visit. Knowledge Management would seem to be a “Technician’s Associate,” similar to what I’ve seen in the aerospace industry for flight line diagnostics, but in this case providing decision support to field service technicians.

I've been away from the F-22 program for a while and I'd like to hear more about these latest technology developments
