C'mon, I woudn't go that far. Insig..."Brilliant"? C'mon, I woudn't go that far. Insigtful, but kinda like every other metaphor describing some entity, idiom or technology as basicaly coming in multiple effectiveness "flavors". In this case, a system of equine representatives of varying quality take the place of other graphic depictions or some (more succinct) arbitrary number scale representing an equivalent type of categorization system. The plain fact is that almost anything in this vast, enigmatic, esoteric, (sometimes overly) complex IT genre can be described in such terms - each's efficacy governed by the recognition of its intention, its sound basis in conceptual integrity, the ability of the technology's progenitors/ pundits/press to descibe it effectively enough, the ability of its adopters to understand the technology (meaning knowing when NOT to use it - think about that), and the manner in which it's implemented even with all that in tact. Do it right for the right reasons under the right circumstances with the right (measurable) goals, and you'll be ok; if not - well, better have a good supply of carrots (again, as with anything else)!galaxishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08301791188079475448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9944221.post-38298865512645755932007-12-14T02:47:00.000-05:002007-12-14T02:47:00.000-05:00Nice.
