Maybe my hopes for avoiding a Blubble have been dashed. Here is an excerpt from the most recent Blogger Knowledge post: What If?What if building a web site were as easy as surfing the web? What if it were free and it you didn't have to learn about HTML? What if you could build web…
Blogging must be picking up steam if companies have started buying each other. My only hope is that a “Blog Bubble” (maybe a “Blubble”?) doesn't form then there will be all the hype and such that fueled the Dot Com bubble. Six Apart Blogs in EuropeWeblog tools vendor Six Apart has announced the acquisition of…
Here's the official post on the Groove blog about v3.0. As I write this I'm applying the updater to move from v2.5 preview to v3 (preview I assume). Stay tuned…. It's here: Groove Virtual Office v3.0. We also launched this updated web site; we certainly hope you find this site easier to navigate than the…
A goodly while back (I don't remember when, but when I move my blog I'll have search…) I wrote about TravelMessenger. I seem to remember thinking it was a pretty darn cool idea. I wasn't able to try it then, but Riaan van Schoor left a comment on my blog that there was updated information…

The entire article points out some other ways to save money, but the most interesting part are some…

Last week I was able to catch two webinars on presentations over the web. First I caught the Breeze as eLearning tool. As an eLearing tool I thought it was pretty good. As a presentation tool it looked very compelling. I'm not sure if Macromedia offers hosting (I'm sure they must) or just buy their…
In case you hadn't stopped by Groove's website today, the new version is out and preview downloads are available. I haven't downloaded it yet, but will very soon. With all the hoopla about Groove 3.0 I hope it can live up to its acclaim.
The free e-mail/web-based e-mail wars are definitely heating up. With the purchase of Oddpost I think Yahoo is going to try to woo more people to web-based e-mail over Outlook Express and other free e-mail programs. This isn't going to touch Outlook users I don't think, unless they provide good was to tie-in and sync…
Interesting tool Amy has found called Blogdigger. Feedster is pretty flaky. I've got two feeds I track, but I can't get back into my account to edit, delete, or add more feeds. Sigh In case you haven't noticed, I try to stay abreast of new developments on a wide range of topics. One of my…
