Update on Yahoo!, King of Web2.0

Update on my Yahoo posting. In the February 26th edition of eWeek it was announced that Yahoo had integrated chat into their email software. It is great that they are now offering this service, but seems to go along with my previous posts that they aren’t the quickest in the Web2.0 space. I am pretty [...]

WuFoo

I ran across the company WuFoo today due to a ZDNet Blog. I had never heard of WuFoo, perhaps due to the fact that they haven’t raised any VC money so haven’t hit any of the wires I read. I’ve only looked around at the website and not tried the product yet, but my initial [...]

The patent described here is for a “Dynamic Page Generator” that lets a user to customize a webpage template [...]

Research: Finding Previous Company Employees

L.ate A.dopt.er

I have noticed that I am a late adopter to many of these Web2.0 sites. It seems that most VC’s understand the product right away and jump on board; however, I am a little slower. I have tried to implement del.icio.us at least four times, with no avail. Finally, the product is growing on me. [...]
