tibbr 3.0: the missing screenshots
Apparently my prose lost a lot in the last few months of scant writing in this journal, as I saw this tweet earlier from the esteemed Stowie Boyd (in reference to my earlier post): In deference to his, gentle yet firm, request for screenshots – find below the screenshots that TIBCO gave me to share, [...]

Evernote Celebrates Birthday by Joining the Billion Dollar Club (Really?)
Evernote has recently celebrated their third birthday. I also recently had my 21st birthday – it feels good to be able to legally grab a drink finally. (Hey, if Evernote can lie about their age, so can I…). Joke apart, I have no idea why a company would pretend to be half as young as [...]

They are not only very bright in their perceptions of Social Business, but very active in helping make the changes that matter. While I spend my time figuring [...]
Service this good does not need a term contract
is the message Verizon is sending with its FiOS broadband commercials. Service this good? Most Verizon customers are on 15/5 speeds.

Can I have your phone number too?
I trade business cards like I traded baseball cards before the designated hitter and division play. So I get to see the broad diversity in how people arrange their information for public consumption. There isn’t much under the sun that you can do differently with cards these days and for many companies — like mine [...]
