We knew this had to happen sooner or later. But if we're all honest with ourselves we have to thank the porn industry for a lot of what makes the net great. Things like real-time credit card authorisations, streaming video, etc all come from the porn industry trying to serve it's large customer base. There…
Let's be clear here to start off with, this isn't an unbiased interview at all. The question “What competitive products did you consider?” wasn't even answered. That out of the way the article does bring up excellent point for why hosted services like Intranets.com are right to many companies. I think the most important is…
It would seem that although the DNC has just wrapped up and Microsoft appears to be releasing patches every week. Blogging, especially business blogging, is on the media radar. This is another typical release/article from Reuters on the subject. This article, though posted to today, seems to be a rehash of similar articles that have…
This is a must-read article for anyone with a website. Why? Because Robin sets out seven excellent steps you need to take to figure out what success will mean to your website and how to think about measuring it. I've said this in a number of posts, but web metrics and analytics are topics near…
Why change? I'm not a devotee of Seth Godin's. I've started Permission Marketing twice and put it down twice. I guess I like techno-thrillers and murder mysteries more right now. I subscribed to his webfeed, and deleted it. I just wasn't getting anything out of it. So what's this and why do I find myself…

Videotron, the Quebec cable and Internet company is joining the ranking of the other big providers in announcing that VoIP service is coming. Theirs will launch mid-next year. The other cable companies have announced launches as has Telus and Bell Canada. I wonder if the days of the standard POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line…
Amy has a pair of great posts here that deserve attention. The first article in here lists some great KM articles and posts. I haven't gone through all of them, but some I have already read. Her second post delves into the whole information⁄knowledge duality. Another great article. The whole field of KM really does…
Update on all the buzz on deep search tools. Looks like Microsoft must feel like the heat is on. I wonder if Google will preview its tool soon? One can only hope. Lookout, mention in the article, is really cool and extremely fast. If you didn't download it by now, unfortunately you're out of luck….
I have seen this myself in my own site logs. Repeated requests for files I know don't exists, but all things that are default pages for server set up, etc. Hopefully if sharp sys admins hadn't caught these, they do now. And all those people who set up the small office servers themselves and didn't…
