"Young people who want, desperately, to look smarter than they are and old people who think it will keep them from eventually forgetting where they live or how to put on pants." Hahaha! Awesome, I think you have hit the crossword demographic squarely on the head.

Re: Experimenting with Twitter

Brandon — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 13:09:00 -0000

Speaking of experimenting, I think Twitter's potential as a project team tool is seriously overlooked. Our product lifecycle continues to shorten yet we compile old, batch-style progress updates, why not use Twitter for these types of updates and questions to the rest of the team as you mention them above. Here are a few more Twitter project management ideas: http://newlycorporate.com/2007/11/05/twitter-in...

Most of our C-Suite employees at the fortune 10 company I work for have or are switching to the iPhone, for the information and links to top iPhone business apps check out this post:

Re: Verizon claims it has “iPhone killer”

Brandon — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 20:10:31 -0000

All of the buzz around this focuses on features and what the Voyager supposedly has the the iPhone doesn't. The iPhone (and Apple in general) is all about how the features are integrated, the user experience is seamless.

If I have to visually touch my way into an app, then switch to a keyboard and type/navigate traditional menus it's not seamless at all. If anything this just pushes Apple to keep the price down and keep improving the capability of the still best-in-class device out there.

Re: Google Page Rank is dead and has been for quite some time

Trackback must not be working. You actually can get your positions in all keyword searches just as you mentioned through another Google tool.

Re: Caught in Apple restart hell

You sound like you're throwing a bit of a tantrum. Sorry to hear this happened but let's count the number of times my friend with vista has had to do a complete clean reinstall since he installed it 6 months ago... 1... 2.... 3.

I hope some troubleshooting like PXLated suggest works.

Re: Bloggers: Disqus doesn’t help you in Google

Brandon — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 23:29:56 -0000

That turned me off as well as the fact that the other big player, Intense Debate, doesn't seem to handle trackbacks at all either.

Using a centralized system like that is kind of like blogging on facebook, your creating content for someone else ultimately.

Re: Australia: keeping the Internet clean for kids

Brandon — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 12:41:33 -0000

This is the main stream equivalent of the Democratic party in Australia, scoble, not "Far Right or Far Left". Bush has never even suggested this, nor has the vast majority of freedom-loving Republicans.

This is an extension of the government nanny state (they even provided free copies of Net Nanny) that Democrats have been pushing since day one. They want to take care of you from cradle to grave with programs ranging from $500 grants at birth that Hillary advocated for to universal healthcare (worked great for Britian... except for all those people whose records were released, and all the 3 month waits for surgery) to social security.

Face it, Australia made a bad choice with the labor party and if you vote for a Democrat in the states you are voting for the same thing, more big government nanny state actions and less freedom.

Re: We’re in a death spiral

Brandon — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:52:17 -0000

I am unsubscribing, you are over the top. You are making things worse with your death spiral hyperbole.

P.S. You constantly support Obama, who do you think got us here? Jimmy Carter started this whole thing with the Community Reinvestment Act that gave loans to the wrong people, Bill Clinton expanded it and Barack Obama worked with the rest of the Democrats to shoot down John McCain and even (gasp) George Bush's attempts to fix it in 2003 and 2005.
