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…
Michael kindly IMed me last night (evening for him, night for me) to remind me to read the Parlano whitepaper that I had downloaded and to ask my take on it before he posted his review. I read it this morning, then read his review. I like Michael's take on and do read his review…
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…
Shared Spaced updates…there is some great stuff here. In fact I have a post in the works on Five Across' IM client. Calligator (what is it with the 'gator applications…Newsgator, Calligator…) looks interesting in the telephony arena. I'm going to take a look at that. Late summer seems to be the time for new software…
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…
Who says there's no intrigue on the Internet anymore? Now, I'm not a fan of either Notes or Exchange, but I do like Michael's writing and take on these topics, and this seems to be the story that just keeps going. My post on this Radicati paper, the fallout, and the subsequent META group paper…
From the Globe and Mail today on wireless Internet access nearly everywhere: By air, sea or rail, travellers can stay connected Until recently, going on-line on the road meant Internet access from hotels and perhaps Internet cafés. Getting a connection while actually moving was more difficult and usually slow, using cellular modems and the basic…
Today's updates from Shared Spaces… What concerns me (and makes me happy I don't live in the US anymore) is that the Dept. of Health and Human Services is trusting Microsoft to build secure e-mail. Call me a cynic, but I'm skeptical. Shared Spaces Research & Consulting- Shared Spaces Briefing, Aug 5 Today's highlights: US…
This idea really appeals to me. Carry something like this on your USB key all the time. Take notes, jot ideas. Visit a colleague, friend, etc and share information. Now the only drawback I've found thus far is that while the Roller demo bundle only needs like 24 megs (which fits on my 32 meg…
Ah brainstorming. Like Amy says in her Artistic Aside post, brainstorming is often challenging and uncomfortable. I think the irony is for me that great ideas very often come from brainstorming sessions, but often the sessions are tortuous or worse, the great ideas are lost in the sea of corporate bureaucracy. Amy has two great…
