Similar to the popular Yahoo! Answers the concept is social networking based and allows professionals to quickly post a question based on specific subject matter and receive responses from professionals who either know the answer or connect you with someone who does. I.E. sales networking.

The Gorb has anonymous comments and ratings about an individual so whether you love them or hate them you place a rating on their personal and professional lives. Scale is from 1 to 10, with total averages and comments. Sound scary? Maybe not. Experts believe the future of the web (3.0, 4.0 whatever) relies solely on accountability and identity. I’m just hoping someone doesn’t give me a zero and say I smell like Greek goat cheese!

Seth recaps his permission marketing, purple cow, idea virus and all marketers are liars concepts with remarks like “Tiffany’s doesn’t sell necklaces. They sell blue boxes with the Tiffany’s logo on it. They charge you $1000’s of dollars for the box and then give the necklace away free inside!” “All Marketers are Liars” – Seth Godin speaks at Google

March 2nd, 2007 A few days after I posted a blog about Google’s online apps waging war on Microsoft more big news comes from a major player in our field. Adobe is taking it’s flagship product Photoshop online. Adobe recognizes that the future of software is to be a hybrid offering both online and installed versions. They’re also following the lead of companies like Google who benefit from ad supported online services and subsequently are bringing both Photoshop and the new Adobe Remix (a web based video editing tool) to the internet. Released dates are scheduled within next 6 months. To quote Borat “NIIIIIIIICCCCCCEEE!”

February 14th, 2007 To quote Jerry Maguire’s mentor Dicky Fox “If you don’t love everybody, you can’t sell anybody” and if you love sales … you can’t live without SalesForce.com. The price tag can be a bit steep depending on the features needed but entry starts around $700 for 5 users per year with the next level at $600 per user per year. But forget about the price. The real value of this online sales and marketing automation solution is what it accomplishes. It’s 100% configurable to your business logic, integrates with almost any technology out there, includes comprehensive analytics and within one day you can up and running without any software to install. I love it, and use it daily.
February 12th, 2007 I played with an interesting Web 2.0 site over the weekend called Squidoo. It’s the brain child of marketing guru Seth Godin who calls himself “Original Squid” and offers a platform for thousands of people to catalog the best stuff online. Each catalog is referred to as a “lens” which is an easy to build web page that integrates blogs, links, RSS feeds, Flickr photos, Google maps, ebay auctions, Amazon books and more. There’s also e-marketing, affiliate marketing and Google AdWord integration that allows you to make some cash on your lenses with the option to get a check or donate it all to charity. I chose a charity and built a lens “The Business of Web Design!“ Check it out!
February 9th, 2007 Yahoo Pipes is a brand new technology that lets registered Yahoo users combine and customize data and RSS feeds as well as certain content from websites. So you mix & match content and then you can output it all as a custom “pipe”, or output file. As you are piping, you can apply conditional logic. Say, for example, you want to create a feed for all new CDs released from eMusic but only if they match up with your iTunes favorite artists AND cost less than $10. Or you want to pull all cars on eBay Motors that are a certain make, model, year, geographic region BUT they need to match up with Consumer Reports’ top automotive rankings. This app allows you to do that. Some of these functionality already exists in other places … but not in a one-size-fits-all adaptable tool of this caliber. Then, of course, Pipes has a social network angle where people share their pipes. [Drum circle optional.] I sidestepped that aspect of it. Anyway, core functionality is extremely cool, but not why I am so enamored by this new Web 2.0 beauty. You need to go over there and use it to truly appreciate the disarmingly simple yet phenomenally powerful interface. Essentially, you program and debug without having to know a word of code. You just drag objects around and link them with “pipes”. I can’t do this application justice by trying to ham-handedly describe it here. Just go check it out.
February 9th, 2007 GMail has finally gone into an official public beta after 3 years of being an invite only application. You can now sign up easily but you’ll have to give up your mobile number and then Google will text you the invite code. An awesome Google interface, 2GB of free space and millions of current users seems lucrative at first but few of them realize that Google actually reads the content of their emails to effectively serve up advertising. Send an email to friend about breaking up your boyfriend and possibly a Match.com ad may show up. A triumph for advertisers, I’ll side with the privacy freaks on this one and stick with good ol’ Yahoo.
February 8th, 2007 As rapid application development like Ruby On Rails increases in popularity clients with strict deadlines will be requesting more and more of this type of development. The obvious upside is meeting shorter deadlines and deliverables but don’t forget to weigh the cost of doing things quick. Applications developed rapidly in Rails face possible expansion issues, feature limitations and because the technology is so new website owners may experience application bugs and hard to find quality developers. Know thy risks.
