Earlier in the week I wrote about trying Macromedia's Breeze and Convoq's ASAP today I had the chance to put ASAP to the test. As it turned out this test not only tested ASAP but LiveMeeting and proved again why Boy Scouts are on to something. My meeting today was scheduled to be held over…

Feed Readers: What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been Amy's article isn't compelling for her reviews of different feed readers, it's compelling because it talks about another person leaving the Windows platform. I'm not a huge fan of Windows. I use it for necessity, really. I wonder if Amy isn't alone. Leaving IE, then leaving…
