DISQUS

I couldn't help but notice they didn't use their new Silverlight technology to build the site.

One of the advantages of working from a home office for me is that I don't have to take the 3-5 minutes catching up. When I am up against a deadline, any distraction, no matter how well intentioned, causes stress.

The problem with the example you illustrate from Judith is that people don't understand what stresses other people have to go through. For example, when I was working for corporate America, I didn't tend to work any less than I do now, but, most people didn't see how much I worked. I would spend 35 hours in the office and 35 hours out of the office. The reason for the 35 hours out of the office was to make up for the inefficiencies of being in the office.

Now, when someone wants to talk with me, they can email or call. If I am too busy, I don't have to politely say, "I am sorry, but I am too busy for you right now." Instead, I just respond when I have the time.

I am pretty sure that a lot of the scientific data is made up like you suggest :)

The New York Times wrote scary articles about cooling in 1924, warming in 1935, and back to cooling in 1975. So called "smart people" have been talking about Global Warming now yet the temperature as decreased since 1998 and the World Meteorlogical Organization says that 2008 will be cooler as well.

Crap... there I go on my soap box again.

Bottom line, you and I seem to agree that it is more of a marketing move than an actual "Save the Trees - Save the Environment" kind of thing.

I bet that Laserfiche didn't even consider the impact of document management on trees until their marketing guru said that it tested well in some focus group.

It was marketing by convenience.

Awareness? What does that mean? What problem? How would that help if there was a problem? There are more trees now than 100 years ago in the United States. Source: http://rainforests.mongabay.com/deforestation/"

How does a claim of saving trees have on the impact of anything based in reality? Especially when the trees used for making paper are grown for that purpose and not taken from natural growth anymore? Source: <a href="http://www.tappi.org/paperu/all_about_paper/earth_answers/GrowTree1.htm"

I wonder if Forrester is accurate.

If they used a survey, that could be the problem. Surveys, I don't think, are often very accurate.

I think most of this "green" trend is pie in the sky marketing mumbo-jumbo. The only reason it is ever posted is because someone thinks that some environmentalist is going to say, "Oh, that LaserFiche is amazing... we have to do business with them because they save trees."

I am amazed at how much from the copier and document imaging industry I have seen posted lately on the stupid "green" movement <s>in this ten year period of dropping temperatures</s> because of global warming.

Does this mean that I actually have to finish building my Document Burner site... I mean, since you are telling people to visit, it should have more than a skin, right?
