I’m involved with three agencies in Sydney:
I also co-host HubShots, the podcast and YouTube show focussed on getting the most out of HubSpot. We are the creators of the HubShots Framework.
Another one I didn't realise existed… IE7 has a simple way of adding other Search engines to the Search box. Just choose the Find more providers… option. The one I use the most is the Wikipedia option – it's very handy to search for a term on Google (my default engine) and the also check it out on Wikipedia just using the drop down. (Firefox and other browsers have...
TechCrunch went into meltdown with the news. CNN covered it live. And Super Tuesday has been rescheduled to cope with the disruption… Amazingly though, in what I can only imagine is an embarrassing oversight, there was no press release about it. In possibly the tiniest launch announcement I've ever seen (you'll need hours to read through this comprehensive overview – NOT)...

Further to my post about career plans for developers at Elcom, I wanted to mention the approach of encouraging staff to build their personal profiles. It can be summed up in this attitude: Your job (as a developer and employee) is to be so good that you are being chased by head-hunters all the time. My job (as Technical Director) is to make the work environment so good that you don't want to...
Microsoft Code GalleryOne of things I found myself saying when going through the excellent How Do I videos is: Where's the code? Here's the answer.Thanks Microsoft.

Complaints I don't usually like to complain when something good like this comes out, but gee I wish Microsoft could improve the whole user...
I've always thought Real Estate agents are more of a hindrance than a help, and wondered why on earth we need them? There's plenty of problems with the whole 'I'll sell your house for you, charge you, but maybe not work in your best interest if it suits me to just sell it to someone so I can get my commission' business model.After all, it is easy to find properties on the web...
Yep. There's a market for it for sure. Culinary Seductions.

It's been blogged to death I know, but I wanted to link to it anyway. Article: Is the Tipping Point toast? My answer: Who cares? And with that in mind, why an I even linking to it? Here's a summary for people who couldn't be bothered reading it all: Malcolm Gladwell's famous book makes a big point about key influencers. Duncan Watts, a network-theory scientist from Columbia...
What a classic – David Meerman Scott analyses the use of meaning phrases by news services.

I'm not sure if I agree with the simplicity of this, but it does highlight a common misconception about CMS systems. The CMS manages the content of course, but these days it often needs to provide much more 'out of the box'. At Elcom, where I work for example, we are positioning our CMS product as the platform that you build your line of business (LOB) applications on. It needs to...
