It’s official: InterAction 5 is coming. (For those just joining us: I work at Interface Software, the company responsible for InterAction.) Last month’s press tour was a run-up to this announcement; we’ll be shipping the product this quarter. This is a major release, and the feedback from the analyst community has been very positive. I’ll get…

There are several things about the weblog world that I like. Chief among them is that there is so much development across different (and competitive) applications. Radio Userland supports the Blogger API (meaning that you can post to a Blogger weblog from Radio). And now Blogger users can create RSS feeds, an endorsement of a…

I’m playing around with a DHTML menu I found at Soaked Hornet’s site the other day. The menu is written by a guy in the UK, and is pretty slick. Go to the home page to see it in action; I’ll probably republish my entire site so that the menu is added to all pages. Let…

Anyone reading this blog can now see which categories I’ve posted to for each post. I think categories are a powerful feature of Radio – they let me route content to separate blogs (for instance, to post something to Radio for Lawyers I just send it to that category, Radio takes care of uploading it…

Go figure – Peggy Noonan says in today’s Wall Street Journal that blogging is patriotic.

Plea from Editor & Publisher columnist Steve Outing: Board The Weblog Bandwagon Now, Please! Certainly nice to see someone from the traditional media recognize the utility and value of a weblog.

I got to meet Chris Smith last week for lunch, and had a great time. As I’m a parent of two little ones (3 months and 2 years and change), part of my contribution to the lunch-time chatter inevitably led to stories which I find unbelievably cute which no doubt bored Chris to tears. (I’m not…

Here’s an article I wrote a couple months ago but which was just published in the ABA’s Law Practice Management magazine. Now that it’s published, I can reprint it here. (Don’t you love the publishing world?!) Thanks to Denise, Ernie and John for spending some time with me as I wrote it. I’m pretty happy…

by Rick Klau (A version of this was originally published in the July, 2002 ABA Law Practice Management magazine) In my last nothing.but.net column, I wrote about the weblog phenomenon. I said, “Blogs are focused on writing—often brief, informal comments with helpful links to other sites (most often other blogs or news sites). And the…
