I’ve wanted to get an Eee PC for a long time. I came really close to getting a 900, but with the 901 announced I was convinced to hold off. I’m so glad I did.
Over the weekend I got my usual NCIX e-flyer, clicking through because the 900s were on sale, I saw that […]
Russell is bang on, microblogging should be based on a queuing system and not whatever it is now. Hindsight is 20/20 of course, no one thought Twitter or microblogging would take off like this.
The lesson from Twitter is that microblogs aren’t Content Management Systems at all, but are instead Messaging systems, and have to be […]
Luis Suarez suggested something so strange, something almost heretical this weekend. He said we should use the phone and not email sometimes. Yes, I know, strange. Wait you mean I can use my Blackberry as a phone?
IBM’s Luis Suarez is the latest social networker to argue for reducing your dependence on email as a productivity […]
How many of you have a pasword on your laptop?
I’m betting most of you do. Is it a strong password?
Now if you’re using a Mac I think all this doesn’t really apply to you, I think you might have better security than I do on Vista.
So today a friend called me. She had forgotten […]
Last week I was talking about getting an Eee and what I’d put on it, as I was thinking about buying it more seriously I kept seeing ads for decent laptops for about the same price.
This, I thought, is a problem for the UMPC market. When you can get a close-out laptop for the same […]
Last week at Mesh08, Scribblelive joined the ranks of web-based live blogging tools. Interestingly, this one is also out of Toronto like CoverItLive. While, granted, this is brand new and there a more features coming like a widget to embed, I don’t share Download Squad’s (ScribbleLive: Liveblogging doesn’t get much easier - Download Squad) or […]
Yes, lots and lots of discussion about FriendFeed this week and weekend. The new rooms feature is getting serious attention and with good reason I think.
I created a room for MapleLeaf 2.0 as a place to discuss Canadian tech (and other techie things), and to make sure no one else grabbed it!
Come on over and […]
I’ve been a huge fan of ClearContext’s IMS system since my days at PimpYourWork. I keep in touch with them to get the scoop on what’s going on and give them feedback.
Today they’ve stepped up to Xobni’s challenge of a powerful, free Outlook extension with their private beta of ClearContext Personal:
Key ClearContext Personal Features * […]
Cambrian House of Calgary closed its doors recently leading many to suggest that is was crowdsourcing that was to blame, but I think Mathew Ingram hit the nail on the head:
Does this mean that crowdsourcing startup ideas doesn’t work? I don’t think so — but it shows that simply coming up with good ideas isn’t […]
Here are some news items that have caught my eye in the past bit, with a little commentary as well.
Most people will tell you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So if you’re in Montreal, and you’re interested in technology and entrepreneurship, you should think about joining us for breakfast on […]
