The Virtues of Chitchat – Making I.T. Work – CIO Magazine May 15,2004

ByTris May 19, 2004

Since collaboration is one of the technolgy areas I track, this is very interesting. Beyond the potential security headaches, blogs and wikis do have the potential to be easy, short learning curve ways to transmit information and archive it for later. Now that there are tools to go from e-mail to blog (available in Blogger now) and blog to e-mail and blog, e-mail to webfeed, I think internal corporate blogs will become more and more common.

InfoWorld: AOL introduces business tools for IM: June 10, 2004: By Cathleen Moore : APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT : APPLICATIONS

ByTris June 11, 2004

Clearly AOL had to do this since both Yahoo and MSN had developed similar agreements. Even free IM is ligitimate within the business world now, so by adding these are a core requirement.

ByTris April 6, 2017

Remember needing several email accounts back in the day? If you thought Twitter droppings were bad… Yes, like all my geeky tech brethren I’ve opened a Mastodon account. I picked mastodon.cloud and I’m my usual @trishussey there if you care to follow me. But that’s not the point here. I’m not going to hype Mastodon as a…

Globetechnology:Program lets users share slices of Web

ByTris June 28, 2004

This looks amazing. The Globe & Mail has a better description and intro than Robin Good does, but Robin does provide examples and a link to download, so both are worthwhile reads. If this works with AvantBrowser I'll go for it. If it doesn't, well it looks cool enough for me to use IE more….
