Pipe dreaming

Some of you may remember that I’ve been advocating the use of a weblog for our work website for a very long time now. I think that, as a lobbying association, the work we do is very hard to define and having a day-to-day accounting of what sorts of things we do, or are involved with would help our members, and potential members better understand what it is they’re paying for. On a technical level, it would also help us communicate with our members much better than our current mass emailing campaigns does, because we would be able to reach people using RSS without fear of email filters.

Unfortunately, none of that has managed to get anyone to move on the idea, for various reasons. I wish I could get some of those senior management people to go to the Seminar on Blogging for Associations. Sounds like exactly the sort of thing I’ve been trying to tell people!

Thanks to Greg for the link.

    So I’m giving Mailwasher a trial run, to see how it handles spam and stuff. My first impression is that it’s fairly cool, just having the ability to bounce emails is going to be fun. But the big functionality, at least to me, is the promised support for Hotmail accounts that’s coming in the next…

    Linked: Ways to end the taboo of employee departures

    Sometimes, things happen. Circumstances change, what we want from our careers changes, and what the current employer can offer us changes. There’s no shame in it, and there shouldn’t be any hard, or awkward feelings about it.

    I’d love to see companies get on board with that, but that’s going to require we see our people as people first, and labor inputs second. I’m not so sure some managers are capable of that.

    Seen at Geek News Central, Zoomr, an on-line photo-sharing service similar to Flickr is giving away free pro accounts to bloggers. That’s actually not a bad idea to generate some Buzz, especially when Flickr has really become the market leader and beaten you to that Buzz. When that’s the case, you definitely have to get…

    First off thanks to all the feedback about the PocketPC and PocketFeed! You guys are great. 🙂 Second just an FYI, I offically registered to take both of the A+ exams on Jan 6. Seeing as how I forked out $139 per exam on this, I’m thinking I’ve really got to pass these things! Luckily,…

  • Switch to RSS?

    Had to do some meetings this morning and deal with some issues so I’ve been busy. A recurring theme seems to be problems with email delivery. For example, one of our users sent an email to about 100 people late yesterday, with a 25 page .pdf attached. All of these people are on one of…
