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…
Updates from Shared Spaces. I've played a bit with SocialText. I think it is interesting. But I think it would have been better (as they suggest) if I was working on a project during the demo period…oh well. Shared Spaces Research & Consulting: Shared Spaces Briefing, Aug 14 Today's highlights: PeopleSoft Licenses IntelliSync; Intranets.com Review;…
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…
Just catching up on my webfeeds….I don't know, honestly, if Notes ever has had a Mac client, but I'm glad one is in development. Other interesting news on RIM and eGroupWare. One interesting note, I think, is that in the eGroupWare statement quoted by Michael there is a mention of support for Wikis. Which makes…
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…

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…
Interesting updates from Michael today. The Cinci Bell post is interesting as another example of telcos providing companies with a way to have employees available and “contactable” in a variety of ways. In somewhat related news, I was just speaking with Joanne Kisling of Five Across in the PR department. I am planning on writing…
Given the time difference between New Zealand (where Michael is) and British Columbia (where I am) I often get Michael's postings a tad late for me to explore all the interesting news he finds. Case in point, the OpenText FirstClass update. I worked with LiveLink for a year or so and thought it was pretty…
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…
