Blogs in Business…

Thursday, April 28th, 2005

Thanks to BusinessWeek for blowing blog trumpet on headlines Blogs Will Change Your Business [via lazygeek] more attention to be grabbed.

from Akron

Spam - A primer!

Tuesday, April 5th, 2005

Most of my readers, including non-techies, must have at least heard of spam, even if they don’t understand what it really is/does. In my own definition, ‘Spams are the evils of Internet’!
