Recently Grant split his blog into personal and work.  I’m doing a similar thing by splitting my blogging activities into 2 separate blogs.  They are: This blog that you are reading now and my new blog. They are both hosted on Live Spaces, but my new blog will be focused solely on articles about the Live platform.  So expect to see me blogging ...

Yesterday I vented about the so-called 'alpha users' and how they have recently turned on Twitter.  You can read that post here: The 'alpha crowd' have started calling the death of Twitter Today I read 2 blog posts which have resonated with this theme.  First I read this post by Rob La Gesse: Robert Scoble has a "Social Problem" In ...

It seems that many of the so-called 'alpha users' have started to turn their back on Twitter lately.  I've seen articles like this on ReadWriteWeb and also on other blogs too.  I think that the main source of angst is that sometimes Twitter tends to go down - and perhaps finally that they suffered a DB crash. I find comments such as this one by ...

Thanks for the heads-up Coatsie: Andrew Coates ::: MSFT : Going Dark(er) Hopefully I'll see you there; the spot is already blotted out in my Calendar. Cheers!

Here's a list of some of my favourite Web 2.0 applications that can be used for storing stuff: Flickr (photos) YouTube (video) Wikipedia (facts and knowledge) SlideShare (presentations) Facebook (friends) There's also SkyDrive which allows you to store arbitrary files, but these others are more collaborative and specifically ...

Anybody that has worked in the Dev Centre at Readify will probably tell you that I tend to harp on about a few key things.  Things like: Always send group communications Work together whenever possible Send emails that broadcast your upcoming goals Some of this is because I want people to be effective at what they do, but some of it is ...

Yesterday, Coatsie blogged a good list of links to the blogs of DPE Team Members, you can see the list here: Want to stay connected to the Aussie DPE Team? And I'm glad that he did - until then, I hadn't even realized that I was not subscribed to Roger's blog. Andrew mentions in his entry, that I had been grumbling about a loss of ...

There's been a flurry of discussions in the corridors of the blogsphere after the recent events between Robert Scoble and Facebook.  I'm sure that, in the case of both of those parties, all publicity is good publicity and that they are both seeing an increase in ad revenues in what would otherwise have been a sluggish month :-) Dare has blogged ...

The Internet Explorer team must be a resilient lot.  For the past 2 years I've watched as each blog entry that they post seems to get shouted down by the script kiddies that love angle brackets and masturbate at the thought of CSS.  Their latest entry about IE8 has attracted 400-odd comments as I type this.  I especially love this one: MS ...

There is something wrong with the world... very wrong.  Facebook is a terrible, terrible, terrible app - and it's worth many billions of dollars.  Everything about Facebook is wrong.  Picture this... You get an email saying that a friend has left you a "message" and that you should [click here] to view it.  When you [click here] you ...
