I was helping a friend last night find a solution to easily share Microsoft Office and PDF documents for review and for sharing with students of his seminars. After looking at what is out there, we settled on box.net.
It’s web address. Although, Delicious Social Bookmarks has had the delicious.com URL as long as I can remember (3yrs?), it’s only now retiring del.icio.us in favor of it.
The A List Apart web professional survey took maybe five minutes to fill out, and the results will be well worth your time.
“And of course, like its complete lack of real-time customer service, Skype has no “report this user” function. So, you Skypers are on your own.”, Jim Higdon, “What’s the Deal with Skype Spam?”
Having my weekly dose of Skype Spam, I looked for a “report this user” button. Not satisfied with the Block button, I thought to myself, why?
I think it is: pissed off at being harassed by that person, I want justice (maybe revenge).

Some friends have asked if WordPress and Automattic will be participating in the Open Web Foundation. It does look like a brilliant initiative, but as far as I know we weren’t invited. That’s really unfortunate, because I don’t think there could have been a greater gesture of co-operation in the blogging industry than David Recordon of Six Apart inviting us to be founding members.
Don’t worry, it won’t stop us doing everything we can to support the open web.
I’ve been helping a friend set up a simple website (using WordPress of course), and it’s the first time I’ve used Joyent’s shared accelerators for web hosting. I’m just getting started, but I’m impressed by how sophisticated and professional the solution looks without losing how approachable and open TextDrive is known to be.

Every time I’m on the GoDaddy site lately I think Robert Hoekman Jr. must have been talking about them when he wrote:
Today, I was involved in a conversation about a company that intentionally maintains a poor user experience on its commerce site in the interest of driving people to call customer support. Once they call, those crafty customer support people can start in with the up-sells. You may have called to get a problem solved, but their hope is that you’ll spend some cash on a few other things before you hang up.
