  RodeWorks — Authority: 125
  Here is a cool-looking WordPress plug-in.  It can manage a group of locations, such as store branches, and direct people to the closest location — a store-location type of thing.  What else could this type of functionality be used for?  Maybe a listing that has sitings of a particular type of bird (i.e. eagle ...

  RodeWorks — Authority: 125
  I want to like Drupal , but despite a fair amount of effort I haven’t been able to get over its shortcomings.  Four years ago we had a need to create a web-driven resource library serving dialect training mp3s to students.  I did some research and found a really great model powered by Drupal.  I’d heard a bit ...

• Social Media overload? Yammer too much?

  
  RodeWorks — Authority: 125
  LinkedIn , Twitter , Facebook , and now Yammer ?  How many Adobe Air desktop clients can I have running at once?  TweetDeck does Twitter and Facebook, but not Yammer (yet).  How many live streams should I keep up with?  Once you start on a social network can you stop?  Why can’t everyone just agree on one ...

  Who doesn’t love an Apple rumor about their next genre-changing device?  The latest floating around on Apple’s new tablet basically what sounds like a 10″ version of the iPod touch.  With access to the iTunes apps store, and a version with 3G (basically a 10″ iPhone) this would have serious implications in ...

• TED Talks: Taryn Simon

  
  Rants, Raves, and Rhetoric v4 — Authority: 116
