Teqlo Turns a Pipe into an Application

Rod posted on the Teqlo blog about how he built a Yahoo! Pipe widget that fed a Teqlo application. This is a great case study for how loose coupling of services and focus on data flow rather than programmatic flow can result in quick innovation with low risk.

We actually saw the precursor to Pipes about [...]

JetBlue Customer Success Stories

I’m gonna guess there are no stories about being stuck on an airplane at JFK for 10 hours. The thing I don’t understand about this is that when an airport closes and you have people stuck on airplanes on the tarmac… well, you send out the buses and get ‘em off and go back later [...]

Delivering quality when the lack of it is obvious (Calyx and Corolla sucks)

I bought my wife some flowers for Valentine’s day from Calyx and Corolla. I had one bad experience with them before because of quality but I figured that was probably the exception considering they make such a point about how they are a high quality florist above the rest of the proflowers.com type sites. Plus, [...]

How To Name Your Company

Wow, this is a very detailed post on how to name a company (via Techmeme). Personally, I think the web 2.0 name generator is still a much easier way to go.

Politics and Big Money

I’m tired of hearing about the political primaries and we still have a year to go… and I’m tired of commentators talking about how it’s all about the money the candidates are raising (it is, I am just tired of being reminded about it). Let’s just put the whole thing up on Ebay and see [...]

McNealy Spends Retirement Pitching Curriki

I was at a friends house over the weekend and Curriki came up, but until I read about it today I really didn’t know much about it. It is essentially a directed wiki with a social mission, a combination that is pretty powerful in total. In looking through the site it does look like an [...]
