Oracle will carve up PeopleSoft
According to its president, Oracle has a clear idea of how it’s going to slice up PeopleSoft to retain the choicest assets and send the rest to the corporate rendering yard – it’s just waiting for the green light to hit it in the head with a sledge hammer so it can turn PeopleSoft into […]
PubSub brings news you might never see otherwise
I find PubSub extremely useful for tracking themes and topics I’m interested in. For instance, one of the PubSub subscriptions I have looks for blog posts that contain the phrases “organizational communication” and “corporate communication.” Every instance it finds, it sends me the posts as an RSS feed which I then see in FeedDemon. PubSub […]
Ragan Report is not required reading
Well, I’ve been seriously rapped over the knuckles by the Ragan Report newsletter. They’ve called me to task for critical commentaries I’ve posted in this blog about the IABC Chair blog. I’m accused of being hysterical, harrumphing, making teary posts and sobbing. Not only that, I also ‘admit’ to having a thing about communication and […]
Mapping visitors
As ever an embracer of new tools and apps that let me customize my Windows or my blog, I’ve just found a rather interesting tool that will show who’s visiting my blog at any given moment. What’s cool about this one is that it shows this info as a world map and identifies which countries […]

A day out in Paris
Yesterday was a wonderful day out – I took a Thalys high-speed train to Paris and had lunch with Guillaume du Gardier and Elizabeth Albrycht. Down early in the morning, back late in the evening. That’s one of the other terrific things about blogs – you get to meet the best people. Guillaume and Elizabeth […]

The Red Couch outlined
Robert Scoble and Shel Israel have outlined how they see The Red Couch, the book on blogging they are planning (see my recent post).

Search for the best search
CNET News: Google has launched a new feature that tries to guess what people are looking for as they type queries into a search box. Google Suggest quietly debuted this week on the company’s Labs site, CNET says, which showcases Google features that “aren’t quite ready for prime time,” according to a message on the […]
Half of all search engine marketing directed by agencies
As a follow on from my previous post about search engines, InternetWorld365 has a story today that Jupiter Research has reported that search engine marketing (SEM) agencies now direct the majority of SEM spending in the United States.

My PubSub subscription that gives me RSS feeds of blog posts that contain the phrases “organizational communication” or “corporate communication” (see earlier post) continues to provide some really interesting news and information. For instance, Workers Rights and Comfortability: Key to Productivity at Macy*s Herald Square, a post today in the Positive Energy Activates Constant Elevation […]
Real blog ROI
One of the things that resulted from copywriter Bob Bly‘s "blogs are a complete waste of time" story in October (see my post) were lengthy (and still ongoing) discussions on a number of blogs, including mine, about showing some evidence that a blog can generate a direct return on investment (ROI). Here’s an example of […]
The changing face of Dutch society
The Daily Telegraph carries a front-page report today about how an exodus of native-born Dutch in search of a new life abroad has reversed immigration flows for the first time since the post-WW2 era. The report says that, last year, more people left The Netherlands than arrived as migrants or asylum seekers, even though unemployment […]
