Great to see Anne Barlett-Brag caling for podcasting to enter education. Having seen the increase in productivity from my wife now she can download her lectures same day from Macquarie Uni there is huge potential.

Success of your blog
Regina from BNet Blogs asks an interesting question. How do you measure the success of a blog strategy? There are many items out there that can help you develop your measures.

Vertical search
A couple of days ago Indeed announced a partnership with Info.com that will integrate the 100,000s of jobs that Indeed has into Info.com‘s aggregated search engine. (In Australia Sensis is doing a similar thing to Info.com). An interesting convergence of tools. This got me thinking about comparing Indeed with SimplyHired, an interesting question. How doesContinue reading “Vertical search”
Messaging and workflow
Dub’s has continued his thoughts on workflow and extended on my post around messaging (aren’t blogs great!) and simplified my thoughts into an easy to read summary.
