  • Taking the pledge

    Chris over at Interesting Times has also become turned off at the waste of energy lately, and pledged to keep his eyes on the prize: No more will I be: A tool of those who want to disrupt the Anybody-But-Bush movement. A partisan who would rather bring down the other guy’s candidate then find reason…

  • Interesting blog enhancements

    First, from Lilia Efimova — the Waypath plguin (for both Radio and Movable Type) that lets you show possibly related links from other blogs. It apparently identifies text strings in the current post and attempts to match them to others in the blogosphere. I haven’t played with it yet, but it strikes me as something…

  • Jack O’Toole on Dean supporters

    I’m not the only one calling on Dean supporters to focus their energy on supporting Dean instead of trashing others. Jack O’Toole writes today: Lastly, the folks getting carried away in this fashion are putting their own candidate in a tight spot. Because the Dean campaign has paid its Internet supporters the high compliment of…

  • DestinationCRM: Vendors can make a difference

    This isn’t specifically related to our 5.1 announcement today, but is a great mini-case study on how a customer of ours nearly went off the rails (read for details) but is today successful in their deployment (in part thanks to our efforts). Nice.

  • Kid’s book

    There I was, reading Those Can-Do Pigs to my 3 year-old, when I came upon this odd rhyming pair: In the grass down by the shore,A Can-Do Pig distrubs a boa — Now I don’t know where you’re from, but there are very few places where “shore” and “boa” rhyme. In fact, there are really…

  • Josh Marshall Hunting Season

    In case you missed the announcement, this weekend was the kick-off to Josh Marshall Hunting Season. (See examples here and here, in addition to Josh’s own site below.) Josh, for those two or three of you who don’t know, is one of the leading left-leaning pundits in DC and maintains Talking Points Memo, one of…

  • Westwood One covering 9/25 debate

  • Kerry trying to play Bartlett?

    Kerry’s at it again — a second “mistake” on a mic after an interview concluded? This isn’t a great tactic, Senator Kerry. If you’ve got something on your mind, come out and say it. It made good TV on The West Wing a few years back: remember when President Bartlett claimed he wasn’t aware that…

  • Line56: InterAction 5.1 announcing on Monday

    And the last shall be first, I guess. Just spoke to Line56 today as our final briefing on our press tour (this was the third week in a whirlwind tour through London, Boston, New York, and several remote briefings on the web) for InterAction 5.1, the latest release of our CRM software application for professional…
