Comment on My Top Productivity Tools for Small Businesses by Nick

I have never heard of echosign before, but I love the idea. What a great time-saver! I will put in my plug for both Hootsuite and Evernote, two programs I would rather not have to live without. They are so useful, and it all boils down to how much time do they save? If a program seems to help you organize your business and therefore your life, but you spend more time fiddling with it than the time it saves you, it is not useful at all.

Comment on Gordon Brown sets Labour leadership contest in motion by Kelly

I like the subtle jibe at Cameron “…no single party and no single leader was able to win the full support of the country. As leader of my party, I must accept that that is a judgement on me” [and Cameron should accept it as a judgement on him too]

Comment on A Guide to Cutting Business Software Costs - OpenOffice by Scott Pashley

Scott Pashley — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:23:03 +0000

OpenOffice integrates everything that it needs, in the case of Java, the installer will take care of anything extra required. .NET is not required for OpenOffice, and although Java has it’s critics, the fact that it allows cross platform compatible software to be authored very easily means it’s a technology chosen by programmers of software such as OpenOffice.

Looking through the website that was linked to for SSuite, it seems that the software is only available for Windows. As far as I can tell, it’s also closed source, which puts it at another disadvantage.

At the end of the day, OpenOffice isn’t perfect, but it runs (mostly) perfectly on all major platforms, conforms to International Standards for document formats and is Open Source.

Comment on What is Google Wave? by Sonny Williamson

Sonny Williamson — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 02:25:46 +0000

Well, I hate email these days. It’s antiquated and clumsy. It’s evolution has been long overdue and when I saw the Wave introduction I punched the air - at last!

People don’t seem to know what it does but I just tell them “it’s the next version of email” and say that it’s a bit like incorporating IM, FaceBook and documents into a real-time next-generation email. This should be something they focus on really, incorporating emails so people have a smooth transition - as soon as sending something to someone’s hotmail inbox can be routed to a wave and vice versa nothing can stop it.

In the meantime, I sincerely hope it takes off. There have been plenty of times when emailing since I found about it when I thought “this would be so much easier as a Wave”. I’m spreading the word anyway. People were cynical luddites when email was introduced too - it took decades before your granny got one.

Anyhoo, add me bitches!
