If a tree falls in the forest….
February 6, 2007
I think we’ve had some interesting posts in the last couple weeks and our visits remain consistent but everyone’s been very quiet on the comments. It’s Q1 and everyone’s probably very busy. Here’s a quick list of the most interesting in case you haven’t had time to read through. Click through to a couple and let us know what you think.
Why ‘Free-mail’ has a bad reputation
“…And finally, here’s the one I don’t understand:
“But the real sticking point may be whether you want to trust your most important messages to any free service at all.”
I don’t know what this means. Why wouldn’t I want to trust my messages to a free service? What is the opposite of a ‘free service’ and why should I ‘trust’ them?”
Online Office Suite Review and Comparison
“…For those of you who are watching the online office suite marketplace, it also notes that Google and ThinkFree may be in negotiations. Do you think it will happen?”

“…The model that BlueTie is building is beyond ‘Free-mium’, it’s the monetization model of the future. How long before Goolge replaces those ads in Gmail with integrated services like this?”

For those of you who are watching the online office suite marketplace, it also notes that Google and ThinkFree may be in negotiations. Do you think it will happen?
More Products or Better Products
January 16, 2007
Perhaps your app can’t be everything for everybody. But in the office suite space can you focus on just one piece. EditGrid recently had a post along these lines. I haven’t used EditGrid yet. Have you? Is it significantly better that the competitors it lists? Has its’ specialization resulted in a best in class product? I think Ajax13 should be also listed as a competitor.
What about other applications? You’ve used the tools. Do you think the companies we talk about here should be focusing on extending their product product sets or improving the quality and features of the products they already have?
Ajax13 Launches New Site
November 20, 2006
Here’s another entry into the online documents fray. From the few minutes I spent at the site it appears it only works in Firefox. There was a review on another blog that I’m sorry to say I lost the URL to so cannot link back. I’d be interested to know what you think of their products.
