Environmental Business Plan Challenge

October 25, 2005

I saw a full page ad in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal for ECOnomics: The Environmental Business Plan Challenge. I thought I would post this in case anyone had an idea for an environmentally focused business:

Top Web Design Mistakes

October 17, 2005

EvolvePoint is currently in the process of redesigning all of our corporate web sites: EvolvePoint, FeedMiner, and FeedCraft. So, all the issues that surround good web design have been on my mind. In addition to using a great design company throughout the process, it’s always good to have an understanding of the design issues to [...]

Tagging experiment

October 12, 2005

I’ll be the first to admit I’m a little behind with tagging. At first I didn’t get it, but I’m starting to see benefits. I can’t articulate them entirely yet, but after I play with them a bit more and really start to use the concept across some applications hopefully I can define the usefulness [...]

I just tried accessing several Typepad blogs and I’m getting the same error for each:

Not a podcast

October 9, 2005

While reading Potomac Tech Wire email today (how about an RSS feed, please?), I read a news item stating that the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development (DBED) launched a weekly podcast. I don’t particularly care about what they had to say, but for some reason I was curious about this podcast. So, I [...]

The report (full PDF, one-page summary PDF) is part of a much larger Yahoo! Publisher’s Guide to RSS site which has some nice resources including tutorials on submitting feeds, [...]

The acquisition is interesting though from a large media versus the traditionally independent blogger point of view. The Weblogs Inc network, despite having many great blogs, was itself “big media” in the blog world. You just have [...]
