Don’t you hate it when a website becomes an overnight sensation and then forgets what made them successful?
Yahoo! to jettison Zimbra?
Posted by Brian in technology, web on September 22, 2009
Yahoo! reportedly considers deleting Zimbra – Poor Yahoo. You look at Google and, while it’s hard for Google to succeed in areas outside of search, it’s done well with GMail. Don’t get me wrong … I think Yahoo! Mail is very nice but it’s no GMail. I think Yahoo’s purchase of Zimbra was more about [...]
Is Desktop Email dead?
Lifehacker asks “Is Thunderbird/Desktop Email Dying Out?” No, because it died about five years ago which is right about the time GMail debuted. Bloatware like Lotus Notes and Outlook still regin supreme in the enterprise (for now) but there was never, ever a great email client on the desktop. The need for a great email/calendaring [...]
Why Yelp Stinks
Posted by Brian in day-ruiners, dining, web on February 22, 2009
Companies accuse Yelp of extortion; yelp says no way – Last year, I joined Yelp. I reviewed many small, out of the way eateries that I frequent. Most of the restaurants didn’t have their own page or any reviews. I figure it’s my way of bringing them some attention and –hopefully– business so they don’t [...]
More Microsoft + Yahoo!
Techcrunch has a write-up on why Microsoft’s acquisition of Yahoo! might not be bad. I disagree with the article as well as the comments. Wow, the comments. Most of the commenters who spew anti-Google venom and who are embracing the deal scare me. The argument is centered around the fact that Google is so big [...]
Won’t Someone Save Yahoo!?
Let me join in Donny’s lament at the proposition of a Yahoo! takeover by Microsoft. I really dont’ care about the search engine or their webmail, but I do care about flickr, del.icio.us, Upcoming, and Zimbra. Yahoo! typically doesn’t slash and burn what it buys. It’s always sort of acted as a deep pocketed benefactor [...]
Fear the flying seasonal squash! Flickr assimilated me! “As Seen…” to be seen no more, and much more!

Lots of things have happened since I last checked in. Let’s see where we left off! Punkin’ Chunkin’ 07 An old buddy and I caught a flight to DC so we could go to the middle-of-nowhere in Sussex County, Delaware for Punkin Chunkin. My old Collective Technologies buddies from the Discovery Channel and I continued [...]
Microsoft has a lot of money, ‘Gear’ed up GCal, and “that’s what she said”
Posted by Brian in pop culture, technology, web on October 24, 2007
Microsoft beats out Google for a stake in Facebook As neat as Facebook is, I don’t think it’s worth $15 billion dollars, though apparently Microsoft believes it is enough to buy a 1.6 percent stake for $240 million dollars. Google Gears to come to Google Calendar? I hear that offline functionality might pop up in [...]
