The SaaS applications wiki – open for business
Over on AccountingWEB’s forums (you need an AWEB account to log in, but it’s free) there have been some heavy exchanges discussing the barriers to adoption of Cloud solutions by accountants in practice in the UK.

Sharepoint Watch Out – Mindtouch Goes SaaS
My Favorite Collaboration Tool, Mindtouch (Check out my previous coverage of Mindtouch here), has embraced SaaS wholeheartedly.

Quick update on the Atlassian $timulus drive I previously reported about: at 2pm on the last day of the promotion, they are at $93K – the $100K donation is realistic… but they may need a little push. So I decided to put my money (well, a little) where my mouth is and have just purchased […]
Atlassian Stimulus Package Supports Charity. Two Days Left To Get Your (Almost) Free Confluence or Jira Licence.
This must be do-good-week. Amongst all the talk about Ashton Kutcher’s challenge to CNN, how the follow-on Oprah show pushed Twitter to never-seen height, little attention was paid to the small fact that this initiative generated over $1 Million donations to Malaria No More. Ashton started with his $100,000 check and was soon joined by […]
