Earlier today, I updated a new program I’m trying out – Seesmic for Windows, which I wrote about last week.
After the installer had updated the app, I launched it but got an alert from Norton Internet Security 2010.
Up popped a security dialog saying “A program is behaving suspiciously on your computer. We recommend that [...]

In my experience, the best way of interacting with your community on Twitter is by using a third-party application rather than via Twitter’s website.
My app of choice on the desktop is TweetDeck, a product I’ve been using since it first appeared last year and which I’ve frequently written about.
I also like Seesmic, an app [...]

Much of that opinion suggests a brewing crisis for companies, their brands and other things of interest to them if people can comment at will on anything on the web, positive or negative, with no control at all, just with their browser.

For some time, I’ve been thinking about getting a new pair of glasses. Nothing wrong with my current pair from the vision point of view, you understand; it’s just that, well, they’re a bit passé now fashion wise.
So over the weekend, I tried on over a dozen pairs of potential new glasses to get a [...]

I’ve been using Apture for the past year since I discovered it being tested on parts of the BBC News site.

Do you use Posterous, the free blogging and photo-sharing tool? If you do, why?
I just can’t see that I’d use it. I have blogs and a primary domain. I’m already all over the net with services, a few of which I actually use.

Last Thursday, May 28, I participated in “Web 2 EU: Publication 2 Participation,” a half-day conference in Brussels organized by the IABC Belgium chapter.
