Sabre Travel Network versus Travelport: Who Knows What About Being Social?

A Cautionary Tale I’m about to offer you two bits of information. One is probably something you learned a long time ago. The second bit is news, a comparative of two major companies, in a way. Sabre Travel Network and Travelport are two huge online travel players, and dogged competitors mind you. What occurred yesterday, I think you will find interesting, if not downright funny – even ridiculous. Origins of News, Fluffy...

KIDO’Z Operating System for Kids : A No Kidding Business Proposition

What a novel approach! A startup developing the right tool for a highly focused and important demographic - parents with little kids. Unbelievably, I started this article 3 days ago, and have revised or rewritten it 6 times. The reason it has been so difficult is the intent I suppose. I originally intended, with Loren’s consent, to plug a very nice startup called KIDO’Z, a web browser and operating system for kids. With all the things...

What The Cloud Is Missing – The Right Desktop Partner

Warning! This post may be highly inflammatory to your “cloudy” vision of computing. My partner Mihaela Lica and I discussed the cloud earlier today, and she aptly pointed out; “There is a time and a place for everything and this is particularly true of computing in the cloud.” Cloud computing has come under fire lately for several important reasons. To be coldly clinical, for most applications the cloud is far less secure, slower, and it...

SEO for WordPress 2.5 Blogs : New eBook

Since early in my humble blogging career I have been down on three things; SEO, Google and hyped but useless web services. Down on SEO because it was and sometimes is about “gaming” the system, Google because it could be great but is resigned to being good enough and worthless sites for obvious reasons. SEO done as it should be is a very helpful tool for developers. I recently reviewed an SEO primer...

SecondBrain – The First Complete Social Aggregator

Sometimes we look at great innovation and are compelled to compare like creations in evaluating them. More often than not it is the differences between websites that appeals to us. All these startups of the last two years have so much in common, but useful aspects outside commonality are sometimes the reasons we choose one over the other. In the case of SecondBrain even slight differentiations mark a truly fascinating development. ...

Choose Your “All In One” – The Stage Is Set

Is it time for one site to be everything to everyone (in a similar fashion that Yahoo or AOL was 10 years ago)? We are all now forced into situations where time and the efficient use of it have become acutely important. The Web is simply too expansive and the tools utilized too varied for any of us to truly be efficient now. The bottom line is, we are all about ready for that elusive...

Diigo : The End Of Bookmarks?

Diigo is perhaps one of the web's premier research tools - this is widely accepted. Whether Web 2.0 actually ever existed is irrelevant, but the innovation brought to us these last two years is undeniable. The big question for me has been: "Does the innovation actually do anything for us?" I think I have tested and reviewed over 300 startups in the last couple of years, and I can honestly say that most of...
