The Top 10 Portal and Collaboration Posts from 2011

Erin Moloney ran a report on the top ten most viewed blog post last year.   It’s interesting to see what people found interesting.  Frankly, the results are all over the board although if I were to do a tag cloud it might include: IBM Portal, Adobe CQ5, Shareoint, mobile, portal, WCM in Portal, and portal […]

User Experience and Plain Language – Again

In relation to my previous posts about Apple’s iCloud and syncing capabilites, I came across an article on Poor Copywriting.

iTunes + iCloud. From the Multi-Channel Mouths of Jobs

“Keeping these devices in sync is driving us crazy,” Mr. Jobs said. As an iTunes user, there have been some instances where my itunes preferences have automatically reset based on various updates.

As usual, when I attend dc events like IXDA and other miscellaneous UX meetups, I am usually the anomaly visual designer in the room. The thing that I enjoyed […]

…exclaimed my coworker, as I had just finished explaining the sudden death of my 1.5TB external drive as well as the mind (and gut) wrenching experience I was having in deciding whether it would be worth it to recover all of my data. $1,850 to get that baby resurrected. I mulled over paying that amount […]

Forrester’s 10 Mobile Trends for 2011 – Now What?

I’m a strategist on mobile and social technology. I won’t claim to be one of the best, nor even a shining example of innovation (I’ll leave that to greater egos than mine) but I know two things hold true for corporate strategy at all levels. The more you know, the stronger your strategy will be. […]
