Gmail Tabs: Heartburn for Email Marketers

Gmail Tabs: Heartburn for Email Marketers

By Jeff Nolan on August 29, 2013

Like many Gmail users I have adopted the new tabbed interface that started rolling out in June. I like the organization model and find their categorization remarkably accurate, which in light of the ongoing government data privacy scandals only makes me more concerned about the machine processing of communications. However, it is useful and I […]

Google+ Turns 2: How Hangouts Completely Changed My Work Routines

Google+ Turns 2: How Hangouts Completely Changed My Work Routines

By Jeff Nolan on July 2, 2013

Google+ turned two this week and by all accounts Google has won over critics with a compelling social network experience. I have been a fan from day 1 and perhaps what I admire most about Google is that they ignore the pundits while playing a very long game of their own making… so while my […]

Microsoft Office 2013, Google Users Not Apply

By Jeff Nolan on February 7, 2013

Like a lot of people I depend on Office to do my job. I have tried a range of personal productivity applications and nothing comes close to Office in terms of depth of features and overall completeness of the product. It is nothing short of a stunning achievement that changed the way we work. When […]

Consumer IT Resets the Baseline for Corporate IT

Consumer IT Resets the Baseline for Corporate IT

By Michael Coté on August 28, 2011

In moving to a BigCo job you quickly notice how different life behind the firewall is when it comes to IT. You’re often more limited than empowered. The advances in consumer IT (things like Facebook and GMail) often have created better IT than corporations provide their employees. For well over a decade, corporate IT has […]

By Zoli Erdos on June 23, 2011

Learn from the Gmail Fiasco: You Need Redundant Copies of Your Email–Don’t Worry, It’s Painless :-)

By Zoli Erdos on March 1, 2011

This global super-computer, the cloud

By Phil Wainewright on December 20, 2010
