  • Law.com

    If you named your company (not to mention the site) “Law.com”, don’t you think http://law.com/ would pull up the home page? Turns out you’d be wrong. You need to go http://www.law.com/ . Come on guys, figure out the DNS!

  • White Paper on Technology Buying Cycle

    My only comments after reading the synopsis (I’ll look at the full paper later) is to compare this with Gartner’s Hype Cycle (I wrote about this last December). More later… From Ross Mayfield’s Weblog: Whitepaper: Timing Your Business Case. I have posted a whitepaper on the use of financial metrics (ROI, TCO, ROA, etc.) in…

  • The Reviews Are In!

    Well, one review anyway. Sandeep Dave, editor of the India Law & International Resources Review, recently published his review of the Lawyer’s Guide to Marketing on the Internet. You can read the full review here. But the concluding paragraph says what needs to be said: In plain language, the book gives useful tips to exploit…

  • Posts vanished

    I just recreated four posts from yesterday that vanished sometime overnight. When I got to my computer this morning, Radio had crashed at some point – and when it restarted, it acted as if posts I’d made since late afternoon had never happened.

  • The Debate

    “It’s over.” “You’ll be back.” Well done, Mr. President.

  • Trying out Ryze

    I’d seen Phil’s endorsements of Ryze, but it was Matt Mower’s e-mail this morning urging me to take a look that tipped the balance. For those that don’t know, Ryze is a business networking web site. The goal is to make it simple for people with common interests to find each other. There’s a geographic…

  • Yahoo Chooses PHP

    This slide presentation is interesting for a whole host of reasons: Making the Case for PHP at Yahoo!

  • 24 Opens with a Bang

    Last year’s season started with a plane hijacking – filmed before but shown after September 11. This season starts with a brutal torture scene (condoned by, but not performed by, US government agents), followed later by Kiefer Sutherland apparently killing a prisoner in cold blood and then saying, “I need a hacksaw.” Whoa. Heavy stuff –…
