Twitter Updates 10/13/2012
Tweet Hmm, timely.is is closing down and now I need to move to another service to post my twitter updates. At the moment it looks like Buffer.ly is the closest alternative, but of course it isn’t free – which sucks. Anyone use anything else to schedule interesting twitter updates? I know I read most of this stuff in the middle of the night or at 4am so post most of these through out the day using a service. Well most of them, I still tweet from my phone throughout the day… Of interest this week includes: 2nd best city in the US? – Any guesses on #1 & #2 before you follow the link? – http://awe.sm/d5sVB Good Macro analysis of $AMZN in a $MSFT & $GOOG world… now we just need $AMZN maps!! http://awe.sm/g63p9 … Read entire article »

The Most Important Online CRM and Social CRM Apps
Tweet You thought I was kidding when I said that the Salesforce.com’s strategic advantage in the CRM space was quickly disapearing? Have a look at this infographic that specifically addresses the Online and Social CRM space. There is a growing number of apps that are coming out.

What Happened To Cloud Productivity?
Tweet Thinking about cloud based productivity tools, it seems that there is a lot of perception issues that I’d like to help clear up.
