Keep It Simple Stupid or KISS!

I wrote about Google’s current billboard advertising last month. This week I noticed something very interesting outside our local Holden (GM for those in the US) dealership. They are advertising for new technicans via a sign they have placed out the front of the dealership. Why is this interesting? Well directly opposite them is twoContinue reading “Keep It Simple Stupid or KISS!”

Want to go to Blogging University?

OrackeJack (aka Rob Williams) has put together an intro on blogging. I have not had a chance to review all of the content, however the bits I have looked at contain content from Rob and links to other sites. He talks about setting up a blog using Blogger, not a bad thing as it isContinue reading “Want to go to Blogging University?”

Insightful Wiki’s

Further to my last post Jeremy Wright also runs ResumeWiki, a very interesting concept. As Jeremy describes it on the Home Page ResumeWiki is a community edited resume centre. You post your profile (goals, etc) and assume the community of peers will give you comments and possible edits. Feel free to view the ExistingResumes orContinue reading “Insightful Wiki’s”

Trade unions and Gen X & Y

The Age had an item yesterday on the possible reason for the failure of Labour at the recent election. While I am not sure I completely agree with the complete item it does raise in interesting perspective that we all need to face over the next 5 – 10 years. That is the make upContinue reading “Trade unions and Gen X & Y”

What’s happened this week?

This week has been a little quiet on the blogging front, there are a couple of reasons for this. First and the biggest time! Second I have not really had more to write about, maybe I am having “thinkers block”, or something. Anyway it is Friday and I think things are going to change todayContinue reading “What’s happened this week?”

Microsoft out of touch?

I was reading this item on Yahoo News and was amused by the comments of Steve Vamos and Ben English. Firstly Vamos is yet to use Firefox, I would have thought he would have at least been interested to give it a small go. However the bit I found interesting was the comment from benContinue reading “Microsoft out of touch?”

Microsoft to do payroll in Office?

Hmm, not sure what to make of this. Found this article on Information Week about Microsoft partnering with ADP in the Us to delivery payroll services to small business. (Via eHRMS) I am sure this is going to raise some eyebrows in the SME payroll market place, especially in the Australian marketplace if they decideContinue reading “Microsoft to do payroll in Office?”

I would suggest some guidelines be developed for all internet usage within your organisation just make sure they are relevant, sensible andContinue reading “Guidelines for corporate bloggers”
