Twitter: #googlewave #TiGra #electricdreams Now that Google Wave is out of beta and open to all, I’m seeing a lot of comments in the Twitterverse along the lines of ‘So what? What are you supposed to do with it?’ Google has a few ideas of their own, as...
The gloves are off between Google and Microsoft, with Google announcing availability of a tool to migrate from Exchange Server to Google Apps. The problem is, Google Apps is a ‘cloud service’. Lately, I’ve been badly let down by some cloud services, so...
Labour’s Digital Economy bill is strangling creativity and criminalizing internet users. They don’t understand the new digital ecosystem and they don’t understand that the game is changing; has already changed. Quoting Tom Beardshaw : In the most ludicrous...
In a surprise announcement today, Nick King (Senior Product Manager - Windows Essential Business Server) revealed that Microsoft is to withdraw Windows Essential Business Server from the product range. In a conference call with Small Business Server MVPs...
In my MSN Messenger today, a one-line text advertisement proudly proclaims “<product XYZ> is now fair trade”. I suppose the maxim “better late than never” applies, but what a shame they waited until consumer pressure shamed them into that decision...
I’ve always jokingly said that my favourite computer game is Microsoft Office. Well, I think Microsoft must have heard me, because now, you can play Ribbon Hero and have fun while you learn how to become an Office power user. They say that if you find...

I received an email from Microsoft today containing the following text: As a registered Office Accounting user, you may continue to use Office Accounting after November 16, 2009. However, the Payroll and e-Payments add-on services for Office Accounting...
A sysadmin unpacked the server for this website from its box, installed an operating system, patched it for security, made sure the power and air conditioning was working in the server room, monitored it for stability, set up the software, and kept backups...
Not my words, but those of the legendary Seth Godin . This is what I mean when I say “Facebook is a useless waste of time”. Listen carefully to what Seth has to say. There are wins to be had for businesses in the field of social networking, but generally...
I’ve always felt that facebook was a useless waste of time and worse, was free and easy with people’s personal information. Recently there has been a series of prominent figures – Bill Gates for example - ditching facebook. I just saw this post from Steve...
The buzz around Windows 7 is really positive, in contrast to the luke-warm reaction that Windows Vista received. Just check out the Twitter keyword #Windows7 to see what I mean. Right from the first moment I saw Windows 7 beta, several months ago, I characterised...
No good deed goes unpunished, they say, and they are right! I recently lost a valued customer, just through changing circumstances and the fact that they will be taking their support in-house. Obviously I want to keep the relationship going so I tried...
