Business Two Zero

Zoho, who have a family of Software as a Service, or web based office applications, have just added a very smart looking HR system to sit alongside their CRM application. The office tools and the CRM application provide a low cost, function rich, but incomplete small business suite. Zoho People adds an HR or Human […]

Holding a mobile phone while driving doesn’t make any sense from a safety point of view, but the recent crackdown here in the UK could make it damaging to your wallet and driving licence too. As well as fines and points on your licence brought in last February, there is extra awareness starting next month. […]

This is a bit off topic.  Back on the 17th of July I left Stephen Ashton of DKIB, who I’d just interviewed (and photographed) for blognation, and headed off on the London Underground.   When I changed trains at Holborn I somehow, and incredibly stupidly, left my camera on the seat beside me.  My blognation friends […]

If you are plugged in to the UK technology start up scene, and attend networking events like Saul Klein’s OpenCoffee Club , then you will have heard of Sam Sethi’s blognation, which launched on the 1st of July. If you haven’t then let me explain.

Over the last 2 months I’ve had a quite ridiculous sequence of problems with cars, PCs, Internet connections, blog and phones.  I don’t like to admit how superstitious I am, but if I listed them out you might start to suspect that someone, somewhere has a voodoo doll they are sticking pins in.  I’m pleased to […]

The London OpenCoffee Club moved to a new venue this week (on the 5th floor of Waterstones in Piccadilly), and the flavour of the event changes slightly each time I visit - part of its attraction. This week an Irish contingent flew over from Cork. Walter Higgins, the founder and CEO of Sxoop Technologies told me […]

Last month TED revamped their website, and started to make more of their presentations available to the general public. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design and is an annual conference of some of the world’s best speakers and thinkers from these three intersecting worlds. You have to be invited, and it costs $6,000 to attend, but […]

Well, I was an honorary one for a night at least. Sarah Blow invited me along to last night’s London Girl Geek Dinner to speak about Wikis and Wiki Wednesdays, along with Angela Beesley, who told us all about Wikia. When Sig got invited to one of these things last year (guys can only be […]

Via Stephen Downes site, I just found this. Lee LeFever of Common Craft has created this great little video presentation to explain RSS to the technically challenged, who are still surfing the web manually, rather than letting the content they want come to them automatically. This video could be part of the standard training material […]
