And so on.
Yahoo! Internet Life
Unlike Inside, which printed my stuff and never paid, YIL paid but never printed (a better arrangement, if you ask me). They liked my piece, but they went out of business before they could use it.
E-Card: Amsterdam: The name's the game
At the most wired hostel in Amsterdam, you don't just share bathrooms with
fellow tourists -- you share a years' worth of smut and MP3s.
MacDirectory
Macs in Germany
Is Germany's love of Macs growing because of Apple's efforts, or in spite of them?
New Architect
Orbitz Reaches New Heights
Most companies take precautions to avoid reinventing the wheel. But what if the wheel is in desperate need of reinvention?
Knowledge@Wharton
Every English major's dream: Getting paid to read a book.
Ideas So Weird They Just Might Work
The book is called Weird Ideas That Work: 11 œ Practices For Promoting, Managing, and Sustaining Innovation. Uh oh. Weird like hiring 24-year-old CEOs? Or weird like paying employees with stock options instead of salaries? And how does one have half an idea, anyway?
Working Woman
Goodbye To The Dotted Line?
Now that electronic signatures are as legally binding as their hard-copy counterparts, can you throw out all of your paperwork? Not quite.
Inside
I gleefully reprint the following article without permission, because I never got paid for writing it. A pox on both your houses, Inside and Brill.
Why Publishers Should Give a DAM
Youčre forgiven for thinking that you're not working for a real publishing company unless the office is a mess of papers. But at Time Warner Trade Publishing, about 35 different types of data, from author bios to back-cover copy, live in a tidy digital asset management (DAM) system nicknamed "The Vault."
Web Review
My work for Web Review has been cited by WebMarketingToday.com, Designtech.com, and David Walker's Web Mechanic column in the Sydney Morning Herald. It's very 1998, but hey, it was 1998...
The Navigation and Usability Guide
We like to think we at Web Review know the ins and outs of making Web pages work. However, since you can never be too careful, we decided to consult the experts.
High-Bandwidth and Proud
Not everyone wants to conserve bandwidth. Whether they want to show off their skills, or simply don't know any better, some people are proud to host huge sites. When is a bandwidth hog not a pig? We look at a few high-intensity sites and find out.
Boston Software News
It was the Boston Software Newspaper, then the Boston Software News, and now it's Boston Digital Industry. I give up.
Freedom's Just Another Word
The Free Software Foundation wants to eradicate the term "software piracy," frowns upon the
phrase "open source," and hopes to illuminate the subtle distinction between "freeware" and "free software." That's because when they're not developing the GNU operating system, the staff of the Free Software Foundation is raising consciousness about the free software movement.
Acunet: Not Your Usual Startup
Marlboro-based Acunet (www.acunet.net), a provider of ecommerce services and software,
doesn't suffer from a lack of innovation in either its management style or business acumen. It has tackled the next level of ecommerce issues -- Acunet calls it "fourth generation ecommerce" -- and its corporate culture is infused with respect for its employees.
Cyberarts Festival Will Broaden the Definition of Art
The word "cyberart" makes most people think of one thing: two-dimensional graphic art on the
web. The 1999 Boston Cyberarts Festival is out to broaden that perception, to prove that
computers can also help produce sculpture, music, and dance.
Northern Ireland Seeks Peace Dividend in High-Tech Investments
Northern Ireland is making news on many fronts. On October 13, Deputy First Minister for
Northern Ireland Seamus Mallon announced that the Industrial Development Board for Northern
Ireland (IDB) will open a representative office in Boston in early 1999.
Telesales' Little Button
In 1999, having a website replete with static "brochureware" and marketing material simply isn't enough. The art of website design has passed through several evolutionary stages over the last few years, and if a company rushed a site online in 1995, chances are slim that it is still useful today.
Data-Mining Evolves with Thinking Machines' Darwin
Finance companies do it. Telecommunications companies do it. Educated fleas don't do it, but
almost everyone else collects and stores customer data.
