PR, marketing and other dirty tricks

By Paul Wilkinson in Blogs, Marketing
23 January 2006

Reading my selected websites and blogs today, I noticed some close parallels. First, Silicon.com reports Email security firm resorts to dirty sales tricks, descibing how a salesman had emailed prospects creating doubt about a rival firm's financial security. Second, Ralph Grabowski – see CAD vs CAD, Par Deux – and Rachael Dalton-Taggart at PR, Marketing …

Christmas working

By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, Blogs, Collaboration, Extranet/CDE, Internet, People issues
19 December 2005

Today’s Guardian newspaper has an article suggesting that more than two in five office workers plan to log on to their work emails over the festive period (men are slightly more likely to do so, as are people living in London compared to those living in Humberside). As a blogger writing about extranets, this leads …

SoSaaS

By Paul Wilkinson in Blogs, Functionality, SaaS
17 December 2005

I have written in this blog before about ‘Software as a Service’ (SaaS). I recently rediscovered Phil Wainewright who I used to read regularly at ASPnews.com; I am now reading his ZDNet.com Software as Services blog, and I have just picked up on a great abbreviation he devised earlier this year: SoSaaS. Standing for Same …

TypePad outage

By Paul Wilkinson in Blogs
17 December 2005

Regular readers may have been disappointed that there was no Extranet Evolution update yesterday. This was not the result of a hangover arising from the BIW Christmas Party on Thursday night (though a few of my colleagues were apparently feeling slightly rough yesterday morning) – it was due to a prolonged service interuption at my …

Extranet blogging: a lonely experience

By Paul Wilkinson in Blogs, Collaboration, Extranet/CDE, Marketing, Vendors
9 December 2005

The emergence of corporate blogging has been discussed on these pages before, but it seems it has yet to take off in the collaboration technology space in the way it has in the CAD world, for example. At PR, Marketing and the Business of CAD, there is talk about the domination of the CAD blogspace …

Harvard University tells corporates: get blogging

By Paul Wilkinson in Blogs, Internet, Marketing
1 December 2005

A Silicon.com report says Harvard Business School is urging businesses to embrace the benefits that blogging can deliver. The school says blogs enable the brave few "to connect with customers online" and "to shape the conversation" about their companies. Those already embracing the trend include Boeing, General Motors, Google, HP, IBM, Microsoft, Sun and Yahoo!. …

Splogs

By Paul Wilkinson in Blogs, Internet, Marketing
17 November 2005

As someone who occasionally uses Technorati, Google Blogsearch and other blog search tools, I got very irritated by fake blogs created by spammers to boost search engine performances and/or to drum up online advertising revenue. Now I know what they are called: Splogs. Today’s Guardian has a good article about the problem.

Welcome back, Nathan

By Paul Wilkinson in Blogs, Books, Collaboration, Extranet/CDE, Vendors
7 November 2005

My Asite bloggers post has been picked up by one of the chaps I spoke about, Nathan at Free collaboration – fresh back from India and moving house. (I have pointed out to him that his comment regarding Sainsbury’s being a former BIW client is a little inaccurate – they remain a valued BIW customer …

Asite bloggers

By Paul Wilkinson in Blogs, Collaboration, Extranet/CDE, Internet, Marketing, Vendors
26 October 2005

I have just discovered that two Asite guys have blogs. I have met Nathan Doughty a couple of times so I was interested to read his first posts at Free Collaboration (Nathan’s blog also links to a more personal blog by his software technical architect colleague David Kaspar). I smiled a bit when I first …
