Posted in 37signals, Enterprise 2.0, Microsoft, Sharepoint, Web 2.0, enterprise collaboration on Monday, 23 March 2009, 8:07 am | 1 Comment »

I just showed a big client of mine a video demo of 37Signals Campfire. They said, “Wow, yeah. Cool. That’s exactly what we really need. But we didn’t even know it.” Unfortunately they won’t be able to use it, due to corporate security guidelines and restrictions on bandwidth. But Campfire serves as a good point [...]

Ok, so my RSS reader is Pageflakes, an online “webtop” RSS reader. I’ve come to like the the way Pageflakes has all my RSS feeds (with graphics) physically laid out in tabbed pages. Until two days ago. When Pageflakes just died. Without any notification. Gives putting your valuable data (in this case several hundred URLs [...]

Posted in Enterprise 2.0, Web 2.0, blogs, economics, recession on Tuesday, 7 October 2008, 9:06 am | Leave a Comment »

Well, I’m not happy to have been prescient in this case, but… Here’s what I wrote in this blog in January 2008, in response to a blog post touting Web 2.0 as an antidote for economic recession: A stock market crash is going to sink Web 2.0 ships, just as surely as it sinks others. [...]

But if you want to know how a large portion of the planet feels about Microsoft products, check out the venting by “Kirby” on comments on this page: http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/1251-i-liked-microsoft-better-when-they-were-assholes No dream team of well-loved pop [...]

Key paragraph: Google Chrome has faster JavaScript VM, better memory management, better Windows UI rendering, faster text layout and rendering, and intelligent page navigation in comparison with other more widely adopted browsers. When combined with Google Gears [...]

Don’t ask me exactly what it is. I don’t know. They describe themselves as “an adhoc unconference”, which is a bit unhelpful and fuzzy. But seems that a bunch of folk related to Web 2.0 (and Web 1.0) will be aggregating and presenting and wired and Twittering–in Quarry Bay all day this Saturday, 6 Sept. [...]
