Government Transparency, meet Business Intelligence

Government Transparency is almost as big a buzzword as Web 2.0 lately. And for that matter, you would think the two would go hand-and-hand. With all of the killer technology available in our information age, one would think that it should be relatively straight forward to get a picture of what our government does in return for our tax dollars [...]



politics 2.0, part 2 - keep on Barack-n-me-baby…

Ok pardon the bad pun in the title, but I couldn’t resist…
As I mentioned in my first post about politics 2.0, this is not a political blog, however I have taken a certain fascination with how the Internet and the “web 2.0 phenomenon” is going to shape the 2008 elections. As such, I will be discussing [...]



"aha" moment

Yesterday’s post about MyWorkLight and unlocking enterprise content via RSS generated a great deal of interest. A couple of the emails I received made me take a step back and look at the Latigent product offering with a fresh set of goggles.
As I’ve mentioned before, BlueVue has an integrated RSS Reader in it, not a very good [...]



"shout out" to a new rss tool

Allow me to preface these posts by stating that this is not a political blog, and this post does not reflect any partisan bias or opinions. The sole intention is to discuss yet another area that technology and social networking are changing the rules of the game.
    
The 2006 Congressional races generated more buzz and global awareness than any other [...]



The Problem with RSS, is RSS…

It’s that time of year again. The ever present New Year technology predictions are sprouting like spring time weeds in my grandfather’s tomato garden. This seems to have sparked a renewed energy around the topic of RSS. I must say, it’s exciting to see a continually growing surge in discussion and awareness around RSS and [...]



Idea #19 - Do A (FREE) Press Release

One way to drive additional traffic to your website and extend your branding efforts is to do a press release and syndicate it on the news wires.
A couple key points:

SEO - Optimize it for Search Engines and stuff it full of relevant keywords
Give People a Reason to Read It- Simply doing a press release won’t [...]



Idea #4 - Get Your Own Domain Name (Expanded)

One of the unwritten rules of Paul Stockford’s 60 ideas in 60 minutes panel format is that beyond talking about just your own ideas you can use your minute to expand on someone else’s. That being said, you will find that Jason and I often arrive at the same "ideas" or conclusions, but for usually [...]
