Tell your work story with an infographic

Tell your work story with an infographic

By Hutch Carpenter on October 29, 2013

I have recently found myself updating my resume. Why? After 4 1/2 years at Spigit, I have moved on as the company has been acquired by Mindjet. It was a good run there. So I needed to dust off the resume. And you know, it was eye-opening how limiting resumes are. They are great for their […]

Dropbox Listens to the Criticism–Starts to Mature Corporate Product

Dropbox Listens to the Criticism–Starts to Mature Corporate Product

By Ben Kepes on February 12, 2013

I’ve been a harsh critic of Dropbox in the past – mostly because I feel they lack maturity – both as a company and as a product – and this lack of maturity is a real risk for enterprise customers using their product. It seems Dropbox has been listening to the criticism that myself and […]

Office Applications, Cloud Office Applications: An Open Letter

By Adron Hall on March 13, 2012

Alright, there are a dozen office suites out there that sit in various places on one’s computer, in the cloud, can do X, Y, and Z and the list goes on. However, I don’t want to talk about any of those suites. I want to talk about the suite we all want, the suite that […]

Google Apps Security Tool from BetterCloud

By Ben Kepes on February 9, 2012

Syncplicity moves to Document Lifecycle and Workflow

By Ben Kepes on November 15, 2011

I use a bunch of document and file synchronization, backup and collaboration tools. From SugarSync to Box.net, from Dropbox to Syncplicity I’ve pretty much used, and currently use, them all.

About Cloud. And SaaS. And How “Big Apps” Will Always Stay Local

By Ben Kepes on October 13, 2011

I’ve been doing this whole SaaS thing for a few years now, and fondly remember at the start when people said that only the most svelte of applications (or, more correctly, the applications with the most svelte of payloads) would ever move to the cloud.

Windows Live Microsoft Word Document UX vs. Google Docs UX

Windows Live Microsoft Word Document UX vs. Google Docs UX

By Adron Hall on July 18, 2011

Before even getting to the point of writing a document, there are very distinct user experiences (UX). I have my own preferences, but I am very curious what others think. When somebody decides to create a new Microsoft Word Document in the Windows Live Site on their Skydrive they’re presented with this interface. Windows Live […]
