The Entrepreneur Tax that Kills Business

By Guest Authors on November 18, 2009

All governments, including the Norwegian, talk at length about how to stimulate growth among small businesses and the need to focus on innovation.

Causes Leaves MySpace for FaceBook

By Dan Morrill on November 6, 2009

Causes is a social networking donation platform that uses MySpace so that people can raise money for causes or issues that they believe in.

Our Programmers are not like Your Programmers

Our Programmers are not like Your Programmers

By Dan Morrill on November 5, 2009

With apologies to Intel for usurping and corrupting their commercial tag line, in a classic “our rock stars are not like your rock stars” move, Stack Overflow (one of the best programming information web sites out there lately) has opened up a job board with a twist, employers will browse and beg you to work […]

Another Face of Microsoft Leaves – this time via a Firing

By Dan Morrill on November 4, 2009

I am a diehard Microsoft Fan boy – even though I own an Apple and Linux boxes and use AWS for most of my infrastructure needs at work and at play, Microsoft still is an important part of my normal work day. But with the release of Don Dodge (who I have met at a […]

Twitter Facebook Fantasy Football and other productivity losses

Twitter Facebook Fantasy Football and other productivity losses

By Dan Morrill on October 26, 2009

Just a quick note this morning on the idea of random numbers and productivity losses around the use of social networking, but other sacred cows like Fantasy Football we shrug at. Companies do not generally tend to block access to Fantasy Football sites, but the productivity loss playing the Fantasy Football game can amount to […]

Why you Need a Public and a Private Profile in Social Networking

Why you Need a Public and a Private Profile in Social Networking

By Dan Morrill on October 21, 2009

Social networking when taken from the viewpoint of connecting people works; it is a brilliant way of getting people together across various age and demographic groups. The side effect of all this is that as we become more highly connected to each other we do tend to end up living in a fish bowl, everyone […]

Industry Expert Panel Discussion on Data Privacy

Industry Expert Panel Discussion on Data Privacy

By Dan Morrill on October 20, 2009

We all have a vested interest in how data and data privacy is enacted by companies, regardless of the environment, cloud, mobile (laptop, cell phones), private Data Center, or anything else that is a combination of the above. Companies have a vested interest in keeping their customers data private and clear of distortion or error. […]

Social Media Oops Means We Get a Deep View at Microsoft

Social Media Oops Means We Get a Deep View at Microsoft

By Dan Morrill on October 9, 2009

Reports are all over the internet that an employee at Microsoft has discussed the future of Windows, and what might be in line for the entire company.

Newspapers Do Not Need a Tax Bailout

Newspapers Do Not Need a Tax Bailout

By Dan Morrill on September 21, 2009

Over on “the hill” a blog news site comes news that there is a newspaper tax bailout bill being seriously proposed in Washington. Newspapers do not need a bailout bill; they need to restructure to meet the needs of the new way of doing things. Much like buggy whips, assembly before the assembly line, the […]

Is Google the Next Media Company?

Is Google the Next Media Company?

By Dan Morrill on September 21, 2009

Think about this for a moment, Google mail, YouTube, Google book search, soon to come Google Wave, and a plethora of other stuff, the only thing that Google is missing is a distribution contract with RIAA and the MPAA. With Google Checkout that might be one way to get the lagging payment system by Google […]

Crowdsourcing Ideas: Apparently Marijuana Is All California Needs

By Hutch Carpenter on August 28, 2009

California has several big issues that need to be tackled. Our state budget seems to perpetually be in deficit mode, with drawn-out battles for resolving the red ink.

If Only Tank Man Had Twitter

By Zoli Erdos on June 5, 2009

Today is the Anniversary of Tiananmen Square. Tiananmen square what? How can a square have an anniversary? For at least another generation people can no longer think of the square anymore, but the massacre that put an abrupt end to two months of protests. It’s easy to forget about, but we shouldn’t – this is […]
