Ramping IT Up

Rich Chuckrey here. The agenda is simple: blog on current real-world technology employing critical analysis, fair reporting and raw opinion. The goal is to leave no IT stone unturned. We will look at topics like Microsoft’s attempt to buy Yahoo [now without the Jerry Yang roadblock], upcoming IT initiatives under Barrack Obama’s administration, current Web 2.0 vs. The Semantic Web vs. Web 3.0, and anything else technical and worthy of bringing into the TechMiso spotlight.

Involved in IT policy and planning for an organization inside the U.S. Department of Defense, I consider government a prime target for criticism and review. A good chunk of my content will also be spent targeting IT issues in and around government — Uncovering deficiencies [and efficiencies] in projects, procurement, budget, security and staffing while closely inspecting their influential factors — good and bad. I will provide comment on IT decisions made in government offices from the President on down to our small town Mayors.

We all deserve to know what technology can do for us. We all deserve a clear understanding of why technology should be implemented and why some should not. ‘Knowing’ is half the battle. The other half…. is ‘action.’ Action is… TechMiso.

We “value your voices” and have a great comment/debate system installed here known as ‘IntenseDebate.’ Always feel free to send your thoughts into us.

    Since I work with e-communication strategies for elected government officials (from the US Congress down to State and local reps), this sounds great! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on all of this!
