Business as Usual

Ain’t nobody here but us chickens.

Barack Obama went to New York Thursday and blamed lobbyists, greedy businessmen and complacent Washington politicians for creating “an ethic of greed” that led to today’s foreclosure crisis.

Not long after he left the stage, the Democratic presidential hopeful attended a fundraiser held by his campaign in […]

Hal Riney, 1934-2008

Hal Riney passed away yesterday. The well known and highly regarded ad-man may not be a household name but if you grew up with television advertising in the 1980s and 90s, Riney’s voice is familiar to you. Riney was also responsible for putting San Francisco front and center with New York as a creative advertising […]

Liveblogging Socialtext Inclusive Day

The coveritlive stuff was not behaving so I pulled it out of the post. Plus, turns out I didn’t liveblog much from yesterday so you aren’t missing anything.

Incrementalism and The New New Thing

Sometimes my best thinking takes place in my garden where in the mindless routines of yard work I am free to meander through any range of topics and ideas. Last Saturday was just such a day.

I wrote recently about VC loss of attraction in Web 2.0 and the thing that was frightening about that thought […]

Artist Profile - Jacques Vesery

This guy is amazing. Jacques Vesery is a Maine-based wood turner and carver who accomplishes detail and realism that goes beyond what conventional wisdom suggests is possible. The former Navy submariner displays a keen eye for the forms of nature while applying a deft touch with a rotary grinder and a wood burning tool to […]

Enterprise RSS Day of Action, April 24th

Obviously NewsGator is supporting this, but so are a number of our competitors. The purpose is to draw attention to RSS in the enterprise as a foundation technology, focus on customer successes, tactics and pitfalls, and lay out the broad array of products and vendors in this space.

April 24th. Pass it on.

The purpose […]

Yahoo! — Putting the “Open” in OpenSocial

Great news for Yahoo and even better news for OpenSocial, possibly even eclipsing the coup that was getting Myspace in. Given the momentum that OpenSocial has right now in terms of container support, it’s hard to imagine that much will happen to slow it down this year. Competing initiatives, like Insoshi, just don’t have the […]

Woolly Mammoths

My friend Jim Fisher pretty much sums it up insofar as traditional enterprise software sales is concerned. I have often said, and written here, that customers have gotten better at buying software than we have at selling them software, but at the same time question what it is that we replace this system with then […]

Tort Reform Coming?

So this is how you get tort reform through Congress… cite frivolous lawsuits by investment banks and private equity firms. It will be interesting to see if the trial lawyers will role out their usual arguments against reform which state chapter and verse that rights get denied and the “little guy” is oppressed.

“Many […]

Network Solutions’ Double Standard

I don’t imagine Network Solutions would be so quick to shut down a website critical of the Bible or the Torah. Even so, since when is Network Solutions chartered with monitoring speech on the Web? I looked up their Acceptable Use Policy and it’s a stretch to suggest that this film or any other could […]
