  1. Hi All,

    The interview with Niall strikes a chord, very few companies realise we need to re-architect e-WorkPlace applications behind the firewall for participation and horizontal relationships. There is order in Chaos !!

    On the issue of RSS, I think IE7 will go a long way to making the icon familiar it’ll also mean we can deliver application services besides media content using RSS in the near future.

    Tagging will only become relevant if we accept personalised search. A little bit of sacrifice will go a long way. I never miss your shows good job !!!

  2. Ahhhh, gentlemen!

    I would LOVE to come out to Toronto for the Annual Bunfest; I could catch up with you, Donna Papacosta and loads of other fabbo communicators. Imagine: we could do an edition of FIR ‘AND’ Better Communication Results at the same time, all together!

    Alas, the trip is a long one and my legs are weak. However, were you to be able to get someone to finance my trip (business class, of course), plus hotel me (5 star of course) and provide for all my living expenses then I would happily saunter over.

    Yours awaiting the good news of a benefactor,
    Your humble man of the Adelaide Hills and Arabian Deserts

  3. Hello Guys,

    Glad you found my little ‘Alabama’ reminder amusing.  Just playful fun.

    I should have provided a pronunciation guide for ASCCA.  You were right, Neville.  It is pronounced ‘ask-uh’ - emphasis on the first syllable.  ASCCA is an acronym for Alabama’s Special Camp for Children and Adults.

    Looking forward to your discussion of podcasting for, and by, non-profits.

    Thank you.

    Robert

  4. Neville,

    Wanted to give an update to your update of the Google Page Creator.  You indicated that you could change the URL that points to your page so that you could hide your gmail username.  This is incorrect, you can change the title of the page that shows up in the title bar of your browser but the URL still contains you gmail username.

    This is way too open to spammers for my liking and so I’ve taken down my initial Google Page Creator page.

    Just wanted to let you know, please keep up the good work - it’s a top podcast!

    Andy.
