Now Facebook Wants to Own Your Email

Now Facebook Wants to Own Your Email: "As we continue to make Facebook more useful for everyone, these changes mean that there’s no need to switch between Facebook and email for your daily communication needs. In plain english: we want to own the webmail space (they even add that one of their engineers will never use regular email again, thanks to the feature)."

Johanna Rothman: Are We There Yet? Creating Project Dashboards to Display Project Progress

Johanna Rothman: Are We There Yet? Creating Project Dashboards to Display Project Progress: "To keep my finger on the pulse of a project, I monitor several measurements:
Schedule estimates and actuals, aside from EQF
When people (with the appropriate capabilities) are assigned to the project versus when they are needed
Requirements changes throughout the project
Fault feedback ratio throughout the project
Cost to fix a defect throughout the project
Defect find/close/remaining open rates throughout the project"
