#“We’ll miss you Guy Kewney” Was it PCW's Elan Enterprise I swiped (finally, I admit it), or was it What Micro's? Whatever, publisher VNU finally woke up to the insanity of competing with itself and pink-slipped PCN. Other titles faded as the 80s home computing boom faded, but PCW and Guy sailed on, with Guy as the IT guru normal people had quite possibly heard of - and the one the vendors needed to talk to. »

#“Android need some hardware standards” Anyone who knows me is sick of my bitching and moaning about the closed nature of the iPhone. But that closed nature has one huge advantage; a global ecosystem of accessories has built up around it.

It strikes me that Android could achieve the same thing but in an open way and with a focus on interfaces rather than form factors. »

#“JumpBox - Open Source as a Service on Amazon EC2” Once you've created your JumpBox account and entered your AWS Security Credentials, you can launch a polished and easy to manage application with just a few clicks. via aws.typepad.com I haven't used JumpBox in anger yet but it's has been brilliant for quickly deploying Drupal, Joomla etc to test things out.

#“HTC Desire Android phone coming soon to Vodafone Ireland” via comingsoon.vodafone.ie From recent Tweet by @VodafoneIreland to actual announcement in under two weeks. Nice job VF, for real. Think of it as a Nexus One with snazzy user interface and optical "trackball". Or think of it as an iPhone where you are in control, not someone in Cupertino. All things being equal, this will be my next phone. The only things that might prevent that are: »

Sign-Up Now.” Business Boot Camp is a service where you provide me with a limited amount of information about your existing site or your startup plan, and I give you very practical feedback and suggestions for: Site presentation, call to action and navigation Messaging and communication Product definition and price point Marketing strategy, online and off Search engine friendliness and optimisation Blogging and social media strategy via sabrinadent. »

#“Keynoir Launches” Keynoir is an exclusive buying club that gives its members access to a great lifestyle packed with indulgent and fun experiences in major cities around the world. via keynoir.com I'm delighted for Phil Wilkinson and the rest of the team involved in the launch of Keynoir. One benefit of the recession is the number of sites being created around special offers. We already work with Luckebox in this area in LouderVoice and I know of several others in the planning and Alpha stages. »
