I made $3
December 17th, 2007
MatthewI know it seems like a small amount to make for a photograph but I have not been into photography since I took a few classes in college. I uploaded a picture I took in Maui a few days ago and somebody purchased a download of it. I need to upload a few more pictures that are great but have not had time. Take a look at the picture by going to http://us.fotolia.com/id/5325307

iphone winning corporate fans
December 6th, 2007
adminI caught this article at msn.com Mike de la Cruz, a senior vice president with German software giant SAP AG , shows off the latest weapon of the corporate road warrior — his iPhone.A hit with consumers because it combines a phone, music player and Web browser, analysts say Apple Inc’s iPhone is gaining ground as a business tool as well, and could one day rival Research in Motion Ltd’s popular Blackberry line.
Although sought out by high-end consumers, Apple products have never been accepted widely by business, so major corporate adoption of the iPhone would be a breakthrough.
“It’s fun,” de la Cruz said in Boston at an industry conference earlier this week. “It’s so popular.”
Indeed, it is popular enough that software makers such as SAP, Salesforce.com Inc and scores of smaller developers are letting sales and finance teams work away from the office on their iPhones.
On Monday, SAP broke with precedent by saying it would introduce a version of its upcoming customer relationship management software for the iPhone before launching versions for mobile devices from RIM and Palm Inc .
The reason? SAP’s own salespeople were clamoring for it, saying the iPhone was easier to use, according to Bob Stutz, SAP senior vice president in charge of developing customer relationship management software.
“This isn’t necessarily iPhone deployment by way of the IT department, but it’s by people who really want to use this device and IT is responding in a really positive way,” said Michael Gartenberg, an analyst with market research firm Jupiter Research.
But analysts said several things need to happen before the iPhone becomes a serious challenger, the most crucial of which is more support for corporate e-mail.
Blackberries became an indispensable part of the business world for their ability to forward e-mail from a corporate network straight to the phones.
The iPhone’s e-mail service can be configured to work with corporate systems, but it does not “push” the entire message to the device. Contacts and calendars also cannot be updated over the airwaves, but require the iPhone to be physically docked with a computer. Read More
Website Usability
December 4th, 2007
adminI came across UserTesting.com — a company that conducts remote usability testing for $19 per user study. For that you get a 15 minute video of the tester using your web site and a short written report.
I plan on having them run the test on a few of our sites and will post the results.
