		<description><![CDATA[If you are considering building your mobile channel, will you choose to build a mobile app or should you build a mobile Web site?
Before we get into the finer points of this debate, we can ask a few qualifying questions first:
1) Do you need to access the phone&#8217;s camera?
2) Would you like funtionality available regardless [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, Google may be about to become a 21st century Ma Bell. Instead of the government stepping in and saying we&#8217;ll provide the infrastructure for a next generation of high speed (100 times today&#8217;s speed) for consumers and businesses, looks like Google might. Google says that it won&#8217;t be a service provider, will allow others [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[HTML5 may be the biggest innovation in browser technology since&#8230; perhaps Netscape.  It&#8217;s really a game changer.  I was fascinated to read that Google will be sunsetting Gears in favor HTML5 , though it makes sense given that one of HTML5 coolest features is that it&#8217;s designed to support the sometimes connected computer.  This means [...]]]></description>

See http://wave.google.com, the video is about 1hr 20min.  The short story is that Google has created some really amazing innovations rendered in HTML 5.0 (which is also about to change the way you view the Web). [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was a time when icons were just lowly functional images, to be seen, but not touched.  Their only human computer interaction comprised the occasional click of a mouse.  Well, that&#8217;s all over now baby!  Icons are all about touch these days, especially when it comes to iPhone applications.  Now we need to make clear [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having been a Web consultant since 1995, I have learned a thing or two about bubbles.  As the dotcom era of the 1990s transitioned from irrational exuberance to disillusionment, the most important common denominator was the irrationality of both extremes. In recent years, Web 2.0 and social computing have driven a wave of investment with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Firstly, a note of thanks to colleague Hal Reed for introducing me (and now you?) to the term deprovement.  Hal defines deprovement as &#8220;a change that is intended to improve something, but in actual practice makes it worse, e.g., harder to adopt, harder to use, or less reliable.”
In the world of software or Web [...]]]></description>

If that&#8217;s not tough enough, each new strand may have [...]]]></description>

Eliot and I found this handy Web kiosk in a McDonald&#8217;s drive-thru on Rt. 128, just south of the Mass Pike! Leave your iPhone at home and don&#8217;t spill coffee on the keyboard!
