Thoughts & Experiences from the Mile High City
I found out about a new service while watching CommandN, Episdode 92.
Jott is a service that allows you to call a number, tell them who you want to Jott, and then record your message. They then transcribe your message and send an email and text message to who you are jotting.
It is cool so far. Let me see if I am going to use it and how my friends and co-workers like it.
I’ll find out tomorrow.
I will vouch that David Meerman Scott has published a book so his mom will know.
He just posted a YouTube video having everyone who attended his keynote show his mom the book.
I attended the Vocus User Conference and have a copy of the book. I am just starting to read it and it is interesting and I hope to learn a lot from it. It was good to hear him speak and he had a lot of good points on how the world of marketing and PR is evolving and changing.
Here is the Book: The New Rules of Marketing and PR: How to Use News Releases, Blogs, Podcasting, Viral Marketing and Online Media to Reach Buyers Directly
If you know where to look, you can see me.
iTunes account required for iPhone setup – Engadget
I just want to know what the big deal is? iTunes has been required for all music and video management of iPod, unless you have hacked it.
To me this is not a big deal and most of the people who will be purchasing an iPhone will already have an iTunes account.
I found this screen shot on the CNET website that discusses threats.
I was looking for information and see if any other threats had come up against Safari on Windows.
But as you see, the story, “Safari for Windows not so secure,” was written on December 31, 1969.
CNET must have had a lot of foresight to publish that story way back when.
CNET published a story this morning discussing how three researchers found different security holes within Safari for Windows.
“One security researcher Avi Raff called out Safari’s statement ‘Apple’s engineers designed Safari to be secure from day one.’ Raff was able to find a vulnerability within three minutes using publicly available fuzzing tools”
Read CNET’s article, “Safari for Windows not so secure“.
I would be careful for a while with Safari on Windows.
I just want to correct in earlier post where I said that Safari for Windows crashed my Google apps, “Don’t Download Safari for Windows – It’s Not Working Real Well”
Well apparently Google had an outage that caused about half of their subscribers to lose their subscriptions, “Todays Outage“.
Sorry Safari.
And I am a little upset that Google had this outage and didn’t notify people by GMail of the problem. I just logged in and everything was back. But at least it is fixed and I will download and try Safari again.
I just want to say beware of downloading Safari for Windows. It is in Beta and needs a lot more work.
Don’t download Safari for Windows.
I did and it has created problems for me. The main problem I found is that it somehow erased all my settings in iGoogle, Google Reader, Google Notebook, Google Docs and my news feeds that display on Google News. This happened when I set Safari to be my default browser. Continue reading “Don’t Download Safari for Windows – It’s Not Working Real Well”
CNET has a lot of coverage of WWDC and the Keynote by Steve Jobs.
Take a Look…
Watching the posts from the keynote on Macrumors Live.
There are already cool things happening.
It will be interesting to see what else happens and comes out.
I like to read news via RSS. I use Google Reader to read posts and I am trying to add the Denver Post to the reader so I can read the feeds.
But, they are driving me to use their own reader. I just want the feeds. Give me the feeds.
Contrast that to the Rocky Mountain News, the Post competitor, and they provide a whole page of rss feeds.
This is the way to do it. Make it easy for me to get and subscribe to the information. I always knew why I like the Rocky better.
