This article was picked up by both Rick Bruner and Debbie Weil (who's picture is in the article). The article goes over the standard stories and stats. There is an interesting point, though, that I don't think is on the mark: Consumers are unlikely to abandon established newspapers, magazines and TV news programs for bloggers…
This is one of the first manifestos from ChangeThis and it isn't deep, it isn't even revolutionary. What it is are some basic rules of e-mail that I think are just good to be reminded of. Granted, it's not so bad as when the Internet population exploded and everyone, their brother, and grandmother got online…
I have yet to read the article cited, but I certainly support the sentiment. Too often IT department choose what is convenient, instead of really looking for what meats the real needs of users. Often, I've found, the “pilot” stage is really just “pre-implementation testing”. If it were me, I would have several small pilot…
Rick Bruner is soliciting reviewers of different blogging platforms, including Blogware. He's offering $25 USD for submitting a review. I'm tempted to put my name into the hat for the Blogware review (Rick, if you're reading, my e-mail will be coming soon if I decide to apply). I think this a great idea, especially from…
Larix Consulting, in partnership with Borealis Networks, has launched BlogCatalystTM, a hosted blogging service designed with small to medium-sized businesses in mind. Business blogging is exploding. Businesses large and small are taking advantage of the power of blogging, reaching and interacting with customers in a whole new way. But blogs can go far beyond the…
On Monday I posted my initial thoughts about the new IM product InterComm from Five Across. If you haven't downloaded it (and I recommend you do) here is a good screen shot of it (from the Five Across website): The first thing I noticed was the nice UI. It's pretty intuitive and graphically appealing. The…
Funny what you get in your Feedster searches, sometimes dreck, sometimes great stuff. This is the later. I had similar experience, or nearly, on LinkedIn. There was someone I wanted to contact for some reason, maybe to pitch an idea or just a friend of a friend kind of connection. It could also have been…
With over 100 webfeeds that I track through Newsgator and probably 10 or so newsletters that I can't give up coming everyday, I can safely say I'm awash in information. Gillian's post on her blog talks about some of the stats and astounding developments (a 2 terrabyte flash card! Yikes!) in storage. I think that…
Between the time I started writing this and now several things happened. First, Michael Sampson beat me to the punch. Second I look a couple of minutes and went to the website to take a look for myself. The Five Across website doesn't have too many details, but the application does look impressive. The InfoWorld…
Spyware is driving me crazy. I thought I was pretty safe and clean until I tried PestPatrol's online spyware checker. Yikes! I don't think I was loaded by any standard, but because I had been running AdAware and SpyBot I figured I was cool. Nope. They might be good, but they don't catch everything. Not…
