This primary message of this book (”the world’s best-selling book” and my personal bible: It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want to Be by Paul Arden) is well-summarised in the photos above. I know a lot of people that would do well to read, re-read, understand and re-read it. …

Five hidden TaskFive features
http://www.contrast.ie/blog/five-hidden-taskfive-features/We launched TaskFive a few weeks ago after five days of intense development. It was a simple app, and we focussed on getting the simple things absolutely right. Others have written that we did a good job. But in building TaskFive, we wanted to flex our creative development muscles a bit… think of it as exhibition web app development. …

The problem with striptease
http://www.contrast.ie/blog/the-problem-with-striptease/Striptease works because you want to see everything. It’s human nature, curiousity, lust, call it what you like.

davidkelly.ie :: David Kelly :: Blog
http://www.davidkelly.ie/blogwriting a blog post is a major hassle, particularly when it’s helping someone that’s starting out. (although, obviously it depends on the circumstances - just in case I drown in spam after saying that!) The second stand-out session for me was by Eoghan & Des from Contrast who gave a talk on Violent Web App Design (with some of the best slides I’ve ever seen for a presentation!). They gave a lot of great advice on developing clean, usable web applications that are

EPiServer Polopoly Sharepoint CMS blogg
http://edenstrom.wordpress.comn löpande av redaktörerna själva. Därför borde ett resultat i en undersökning som denna kunna påverkas från timme till timme. Positivt är däremot att Jajja fokuserar på CMS-systemet och inte på överflödig och “ovanpålagd” SEO-konsulting.

Google España predica con el ejemplo en la comunicación 2.0
http://blog.unience.com/google-espana-predica-con-el-ejemplo...caso de monopolio provocado en buena parte por el consumidor: todos lo usamos porque es el más rápido) y se habló de la poca valía del SEO y el SEM por sí sólos (echad un vistazo a este post de Icaro, de Tuenti, en su blog La Tejedora, citando a Ehogan McCabe). Y todos coincidimos, yo creo que incluida Paz, en que lo mejor es que haya más competidores y más fuertes para que haya más creatividad y productividad. Para mí, lo de ayer, al margen del interés del debate entre Paz y Fernando, fue una buena

the goose
http://www.jameskennedy.ieI met up with my TaskFive partner over the weekend and we took stock of what we have on our hands. Its been a pretty unreal experience being involved in the whole experiment and despite one or two challenges - it has been an unprecedented success.
