Yammer at AAA

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

I was browsing through my Facebook pages and noticed a posting by Yammer referencing a series of video testimonials from some of their customers. I really liked this one from AAA of Northern California.

AAA Yammer Testimonial from Yammer on Vimeo.

Jaimee Clements talks about AAA’s experience with Yammer microblogging. She provides great information about why Yammer (or any microblogging application) helps within a distributed organization:

finding pockets of knowledge
solving long simmering problems
engaging staff and executive
connecting a distributed workforce

It just might be the time to start over

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Several years ago I decided to jump into the world of blogging. I thought it would be easy to create a new content, link to interesting articles and discuss a wide variety of topics. Well, that was easier said than done. You know me!

So I will start over but I really need to think how all these social networks and aggregators will work with one another.

Paper phone – Have I seen this before?

Saturday, June 17th, 2006

Gizmodo reports on a concept for a paper phone that can be recycled. This concept comes from Yanko Design.

I remember a number of years ago of another paper phone. This one was in the middle of a pizza menu. It included enough minutes and battery life to place an order.

There are other concepts and patents out for disposable, pre-paid cell phones. I just haven’t seen them on the shelves.
