An Alexalent listing......

At the weekend I sat down and took some time to go through Seth Godin's Web 2.0 list to see what was out there.

The usual suspects are at the top but I wasn't looking for the volume but the movement that shows increasing; albeit brief maybe, popularity.

After a long trawl a couple caught my eye for further research and some I went as far as registering.

More than a cursory glance:
In the might go back later category:
There was the usual mixture of URL not found errors that come with this hit and miss approach :(

What comes out of my walk about is the niche of it all. Some of the sites look good but are obviously meant for a very small number of people. Still it's good to see that in many cases the internet is becoming easy to use that some of these groups and sites exist at all.

In the overlap of technology, marketing and social media the QR Code is critical

It seemed to take an eternity to get on to 3G and at least one operator has made the jump to 4G trials.  Now the local regulator has finally (re)set the date for the long awaited auction of the spectrum and details are set to be announced in February. Normally I would be a strong supporter of a free market and all that a regulated market should bring in the way of competition, and therefore when market forces kick in what that then means for consumers in terms of value for money.  However, in this case I am wondering if there is a different answer to the problem. Having watched the mast alliances in Europe and regulator interventions in New Zealand and Australia I think that the antiquated Build, Operate, Transfer (BOT) agreements that Thai mobile opera...

PC over IP - The Teradici Effect

Teradici are hoping to blur the lines between PC and Data Centre. Their solution allows a use to view multiple screens and control the blade PC over IP. This is kind of like the dumb terminals with a new edgy deployment. The intention is that all of the computing power is performed offsite in a centralized area, the Data Centre, and this will save on power and maintenance costs as the engineers are co-located with the hardware and therefore don't have to go out to the client site for basic maintenance.
