Some interesting new thoughts on topics that have been discussed on Rough Type recently:
Sukumar Rajagopal goes deeper in exploring the integrative role that search interfaces, such as Google's OneBox, may play inside companies. (Originally discussed here.)
John Hagel looks at the question "Is it just 'me'?" in this post on the dynamics and possible pathologies of the so-called attention economy. (Originally discussed here.)
Andrew McAfee discusses the elusiveness of modularity in business software in arguing that it's dangerous to assume that services-oriented architecture (SOA) and Web 2.0 are just two sides of the same coin. (Originally discussed here.)
