Kindle Review

Wed, 07 May 2008 12:04:02 -0400

more to come, but I’ve had the kindle for a bit and so far I don’t miss books. It’s no alternative for magazines, but I have only one object on my bedside table at this point. My friend asked, “what do you do at the beach”, to that I replied “take a magazine”.

I’ll post a more comprehensive review, but the ones on amazon cover almost everything. Overall I fell this is the future of the book.

New Features on TickerMine

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:31:00 -0400

From tickermine: My buddy’s company

Busy Monday for us here at TickerMine.

We have just deployed some new features that we hope you all will find helpful and useful.

First, we are offering a free trial of our premium Diamond Miner level of service for 30 days. This will let users see the full value of getting real time access to valuable point of sale data in detail. We are confident there is no where else to get large groups of point of sales data for so little cost.

We have added a calendar so you can see when new stories are planned to be posted. You can access the calendar here http://www.tickermine.com/events .

We have also added e-mail alerts for tickers of specific interest to you. You can set ticker preferences and receive e-mail alerts for reports on these tickers by clicking into you “account” settings. The “account” link is in the upper right hand corner of the page when you are first logged in to TickerMine.

We have added two additional new features that allow users to more precisely communicate with the TickerMine team. First, we now have a “Dig Deeper” link that allows users to request custom reports on tickers or sectors of interest. These reports will not be posted to the general site and are proprietary to the requester. The second feature is a “Feedback” link where you can tell us what you think about the site, request new names for inclusion on the site and can alert us to any other items of importance you think we need to hear about.

Finally, we have added RSS Feeds for the truly tech savvy. The RSS feeds provide Silverminer level access to content. You’ll have to come to TickerMine directly to get the premium Gold and Diamond levels of information.

Interesting stuff

Design

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 13:23:05 -0400

I just read a great article about the design of the Monocle website. If you don’t know Monocle you need to check it out. This article is very long but really interesting and touches on all aspects of new media. Since I think that Monocle realy touches all the good points of design, in paper form and web based, it was cool to see behind the scenes. If you want to see how good design is formed check it out.

Groupswim

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:48:40 -0400

I’ve been using Groupswim at work for about 3 months and it’s been great, but today they changed the game. It went from a community tool to a full blown collaboration tool. They have added the ability to upload docs and have them fully search-able.

Typically we store the whole companies collective knowledge in GS but now we can add all our documentation as well. Great job guys!

Google App Engine

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 01:37:46 -0400

Got the invite to join the early test stages of the Google App Engine. Checking it out now, but already blew one of the 3 apps that you get to develop. I’ll be checking out all the cool functionality, but I guess the challenge is now to test how this stacks up against AWS. One thing off the top, Python only and “all-in-one” on the Google side. I do like the notion of AWS and impartiality.

We shall see. Check my twitter stuff for updates.
