Corporates can try too

If you have never seen it check out the BT Beta site.

I think it is a really good example of a large company dedicating some resource to new ideas and concepts. It gives them the ability to innovate and have a bit of a sandbox to play in. Since it also draws in a large number of customers they also get valuable feedback on what is working and what is not. Several features have already gone public from the Beta site. Whilst companies like Google are well known for having business integrated Beta programmes, large corporates, particularly in the UK, are not. I think this is a great step in the right direction and it makes good business sense. Thoughts?

Google docs syncing with your desktop

For those with a PC, a company has just released a cool little app that syncs all your Word, Excel & Powerpoint docs on your desktop machine with Google docs. Any changes made on your desktop OR on Google Docs get synched to the other environment. Works with Open Office as well.

Hopefully it goes without saying, but Google Docs should not be used for any confidential documents or sensitive information. Duh! :-)

A blog in a blog

Was looking up hours for my local waitrose the other day and stumbled on the blog of the "chubby grocer". It is the blog from the MD of Waitrose. Thought it was kind of a interesting concept and seems to be getting loads of views.

Interesting or crap?
