Make Rypples, Not Waves
about 1 year ago - No comments
I had the opportunity to speak with David Priemer (@dprimer) from Rypple’s product and community team earlier today. If you haven’t had the opportunity to check this product out yet, I’d highly recommend that you do. In a nutshell – it allows you to micro-survey (he told me they hate that word over at Rypple)
This is How We Roll in a Web 2.0 World (or 37 Signals Revamps Highrise)
about 3 years ago - 3 comments
OK, now I’m impressed. Earlier this week, I reviewed 37 Signal’s new contact manager Highrise. I still think it is feature light compared to some other stuff out there, but just 36 hours after launch, 37 Signals has made (not announced… made) significant changes to the product and pricing based on early user feedback. Some
Highrise Surprise
about 3 years ago - 1 comment
After a long wait, 37 Signals (makers of the venerable project management/collaboration tool — Basecamp) recently launched a new contact manager called Highrise. Although, I think there is room for a lightweight software-as-a-service (SaaS) contact manager, I am not quite convinced on this one yet. Although it offers basic contact tracking, tasks and a nice
More on Platforms and Open Product Acrhitectures

In 2006, the concept of platforms moved into the mainstream business conscience. The emergence of SalesForce.com’s AppExchange, Amazon’s e-commerce platform and Google’s APIs has stirred the imagination of industry pundits and entrepreneurs alike. Despite the recent hype, open product architectures are not a new concept. In 1993, the Harvard Business Review ran an article explaining

On Monday, Karl Long over at Experience Curve talked about “2.0 Ideas Executed with a 1.0 Mindset“. As an example, he cited the new Nike/Apple appliance that converts your iPod into an accelerometer. In a nutshell, he thought that the ‘black-boxing’ of the application was a lost opportunity for both companies. Rather than producing a
Smart Phones and Dumb Terminals
about 3 years ago - No comments
There’s something definitely happening here… Tuesday’s WSJ cites an IDC report suggesting that world-wide shipments of dumb terminals will increase by 21.5% through 2010 (to six million units). As more and more software goes web-based and software-as-a-service, there is less and less need to keep data on the desktop. The benefits are such as reduced
Product Development 2.0 – A New Collaborative Model
about 3 years ago - 5 comments
In a recent post on his venerable Web 2.0 blog, Dion Hinchcliffe analyzes an emerging user-centric product development model (dubbed “Product Development 2.0″). Already adopted by an number of notable start-ups and a few forward-thinking traditional companies, Product Development 2.0 (PD2.0) is “a concept that embodies the use of Web 2.0 concepts such as harnessing
It is a SaaS World, and I am SaaSy Boy!
about 3 years ago - 1 comment
After two hard-drive failures a few months ago (one when I was on an international trip), I have slowly been adopting as much web-based and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) software (is that like PIN number?) as is feasible. In all, I think that I have been doing fairly well. However, I had an experience a few days
