How do you generate buzz for your business? I’m running a brief survey to find out more about how you are driving traffic and drawing customers to your service or product business, online or off.
There are only about 8 questions, so the survey should only take a couple of minutes to fill out. I’ll publish the results after I’ve collected a few dozen responses.
I’ve been saying this privately to friends and family for years. Glad to see that somebody is finally reporting on it. The problem is huge in Silicon Valley, where many of my friends are at the peak of their creative years, backed by decades of experience. Yet, they’re stuck. Job Lock.

For the last few months, I’ve been working with a great team of people over at click2try, a community site that lets you try Open Source software easily, without the hassles of installation or configuration. The click2try site manages to harness several information technology trends in one neat package.
Their entire site, including the virtualization software that lets you run applications right from your browser, was built with Open Source software: Xen hypervisor, Joomla! CMS, and other OSS apps.
Just recently I completed researching and writing a white paper for them, that explains how several critical information technology trends are coming together in places like the click2try site. These trends include virtualization, Open Source, energy efficiency, SaaS (subscription based software), and of course, the cloud.
You can download the paper from the click2try site at http://www.click2try.com/information-technology-trends.
If you’re looking for a way to try or use Open Source software without the management hassles, check it out. If you’re looking for a way to convince your manager to let you give Open Source, virtualization, or any of these other technologies a try, this report might help you make the case.

Punting my office job for the freedom of freelance copywriting was the best decision I ever made. However, one scary aspect of that leap was leaving behind the health insurance my employer provided.
It turns out you CAN get good coverage at a reasonable cost. In fact, our family will save over $3,000 per year with our new individual plan.
