Engagement or Experience?

By Michael Fauscette on August 6, 2014

This may sound a bit like a rant, and I suppose it is really, but I’m tired of having this conversation so thought it would be easier to just point to a post. It’s semantics but being clear on what…

My Quick Take on Quicktate (Convenient Transcription Has Finally Arrived)

My Quick Take on Quicktate (Convenient Transcription Has Finally Arrived)

By Zoli Erdos on February 28, 2012

It is rare that I get so excited about a new service I feel compelled to grab a pen mic smartphone and blog about it. But today it just happened: the service I’m going to talk about is Quicktate. For background, let me just come clear and admit that I’m a really lousy typist and […]

By Michael Fauscette on October 30, 2011

Evernote Celebrates Birthday by Joining the Billion Dollar Club (Really?)

Evernote Celebrates Birthday by Joining the Billion Dollar Club (Really?)

By Zoli Erdos on June 28, 2011

Evernote has recently celebrated their third birthday. I also recently had my 21st birthday – it feels good to be able to legally grab a drink finally.  (Hey, if Evernote can lie about their age, so can I…).   Joke apart, I have no idea why a company would pretend to be half as young as […]

GOutlook. Gmail Back to Earth… in Search of Revenue.

By Zoli Erdos on September 29, 2010

I’ve been long-time Gmail fan, having used it from the very early days, for almost 5 years now.

Hillsborough County Tax Collector – a Malcolm Balridge candidate

By Vinnie Mirchandani on August 10, 2010

I groaned when I entered the place looking for a replacement driver’s license (had lost my wallet in Paris couple of days prior). My ticket number was in the 600s, there was a mass of humanity. I was prepared to stay a few hours. 20 minutes later my number came up. 5 minutes later the […]
