Sprint Ambassador Program

February 24, 2006

I received an email yesterday from the Sprint Ambassador Program. A bit skeptical that this was spam, I read the email and was intrigued. Apparently, Sprint has developed program to get new phones and service lines into the hands of folks who would hopefully give them feedback and evangelize their products. The Sprint Ambassador Program [...]

Technology news and events

February 15, 2006

Just a follow up to my last post on the news of two local companies – if you’re interested in receiving the latest news on regional (Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Virginia) news and events, I’ve found the following newsletters to be the most useful:

Two local companies going public

February 15, 2006

Two local (southwest Virginia) companies announced last week they will be publicly traded – nTelos (Waynesboro, Va) and Luna Innovations (Roanoke, Va). Luna has filed for an IPO, while nTelos priced their IPO at $12/share and raised $144 million last week (NTLS). This is great news for the whole region and will provide more exposure [...]

Pay to email, my take

February 14, 2006

With AOL and Yahoo potentially charging to guarantee email delivery, I suspect RSS will get more serious consideration from marketers. And how can it not? If this email deal holds up (from what I’ve read it’s not finalized), costs will skyrocket for many publishers ($2.5-$10 per thousand emails sent). My overall take on this is [...]

Squidoo review

February 8, 2006

I finally had a chance to play around with Squidoo last night and I’m impressed. As Seth Godin’s brainchild, I had been meaning to fully check Squidoo out for some time now. Some have questioned the usefulness of the service, but I have to disagree. Squidoo can’t be evaluated against creating a blog or having [...]

Web 2.0 Innovation Map

February 7, 2006

The Web 2.0 Innovation Map was recently updated and FeedCraft was included. This is a very slick application of Google Maps displaying the locations of Web 2.0 companies by Fourio. It’s quite interesting to see the distribution of the companies across the globe. The Web 2.0 Innovation Map grew out of an interest in how [...]
