My “officially unofficial” predictions for BOYS 2009 CCS XC 1 Mountain View (D2) Rowe leads a talented group of runners that have all run the equivalent of 15:50 or better at Crystal. This team is not only one of the best in the CCS but the nation. 2 Carlmont (D1) This team is stacked and it is going to be a great duel with the Bells for the D1 section title. Their number 5 runner has hit 16:03 on Crystal, which is down the street from their school. Expect them to be dominant on their “home” course. 3 Bellarmine (D1) Don’t expect the Bells ...

The news from Palo Alto Networks reinforces what we should probably expect will be the norm for the foreseeable future. According to the company's Application Usage and Risk Report, social technologies and collaborative applications are moving deep into the enterprise with Twitter seeing a 250 percent increase in use since Spring of last year. In face of a report like this, it makes sense that Enterprise 2.0 technologies would be a fit for companies. Employees understand how social technologies function.

Palo Alto Networks, an enterprise firewall provider, has released their Application Usage and Risk Report for Fall 2009. The biyearly report, which looks at application usage on 200 different enterprise networks around the world, found a dramatic increase in social media usage inside the enterprise. Since their last report just 6 months ago, Palo Alto Networks found that Twitter session use grew by more than 250%. There was also a dramatic increase in Facebook usage, which grew by an astounding 192% inside the workplace. Clearly, the 20% increase in companies blocking social media sites has yet to negatively affect the growth of Twitter and ... Read Full Story
