The question of whether the Internet should extend into our lives when we are cruising at 30,000 feet has been a heavily debated one. Should airplane cabins be bastions of quiet sanctity from the deluge of information and work that follows us everywhere? Or should we use in-flight Wi-Fi to take advantage of every possible productive moment in our lives, even while traveling?

When two hundred journalists got together recently for an “un-conference” on the future of journalism , it was hardly surprising that the results were documented, minute by minute, through notes, wikis, photos, audio, video, blogs and an amazing number of tweets.
The organizers approached me to develop a web site to aggregate these posts in real-time before, during and after the event. In the ...

I encounter so many web apps over the course of any given day that some tend to get lost in the mix, especially the oddball little applications that do something that isn’t in my standard workflow. That doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate how useful and creative those apps are, just that I end up setting them aside to come back to later.
So here I’m going to give those apps a chance to shine, becaus...

This week, I landed a big client. Emails flew back and forth and, finally, they sent me the final version of our contract. I digitally signed the PDF and emailed it back. No good — the contracts department for this particular company required that I send a fax in order to be able to verify the signature. I actually do have a fax machine (combined with a scanner and a printer) sitting on my desk, b...

After writing “ 6 Tips for Using Google Wave on Your First Project ,” I’ve been learning more about Google Wave as my client and I use it for document collaboration and communication. Since I wrote the initial post, we’ve gotten a better handle on the features that are helping manage our Waves and related communications.
Here are some more tips on using Google Wave:

Whether you’re just starting out or you’re providing services as an independent consultant, setting up a marketing presence for yourself online can be a challenge, even if you are a web designer or developer. Many service providers will tell you that they often spend far more time on providing quality services to their clients than their own business suffers.
Besides building a basic web presenc...

e-tipi sounds like a weird name for a web-based service, and when you find out it stands for “Espresso Thinking Platform,” things don’t become much clearer. But once you find out what the app’s developers think “Espresso Thinking” is, then you start to get the idea:
It’s a nice thought, but is that really something that can be captured in a web-based environment? I recently talked about the sa...

With all the hoopla about Google Wave , another set of invitations coming out of Google seems to have been overlooked. After months of waiting, Twitterers are reporting that they have finally received invites to Google Voice , which I wrote about back in June. I’ve had GV myself since it was GrandCentral , but I got another invitation last night. The folks selling Voice invites on eBay may ...

Just about every presentation app works the same way: Whether you rely on Powerpoint, Keynote or another presentation application, you’re sharing a series of slides that progress in a linear fashion. While you can craft beautiful presentations, you’re up against a format that never changes. One web-based application is working on changing that, though: Prezi has an intuitive interface for both b...

Have an email that you want to share on the web or on a social network? Forward it to “post@moomeo.com” and you’ll receive a return email with a web link. The email from Moomeo will also include links to share the original email on Facebook and Twitter. You don’t need to sign up. You don’t even need to visit the Moomeo web site.
That’s really all there is to Moomeo, although it does have so...
Every platform has an app store these days, and so it was almost inevitable that there would be a Twitter app store. Perhaps the only surprise is that the store comes from an outside company and not Twitter itself.
oneforty , which launched yesterday, is the creation of social media consultant and “ Twitter for Dummies ” author Laura Fitton. According to the site’s welcome screen, it is “curren...

When the Office 2010 Technical Preview was announced, Microsoft said that it also would be making web app versions of the Office suite available. My early excitement was tempered somewhat when I realized that the web apps would not be released simultaneously with the Office 2010 Technical Preview and I’d have to wait to try them out. Well, starting today, Microsoft will start gradually rolling o...

Google is trying to get ahead of the game before Microsoft gives it a real run for its money with Office Online, coming in 2010. One way it’s doing that is by enhancing the collaborative abilities of Docs, and further integrating all of its services. Which is why Google Groups recently got an upgrade that allows for sharing of documents, calendars and sites.
What this really means is that I fi...
