There’s a World Outside the US–Podio Delivers

By Ben Kepes

Living  on the other side of the world from the bay area, it’s sometimes  little frustrating just how inward looking Silicon Valley can be. Sometimes it feels like some technology vendors discount the 5 billion or so people who don’t live in that tiny West Coast sliver. Apart from being

YouSendIt Moves Beyond File Sending–Takes on Backup/Sync Vendors in a Mobile Way

By Ben Kepes

File sending vendor YouSendIt is today broadening its offering significantly by announcing the release of the new YouSendIt that includes multi-device applications (iOS, Android and desktop).

ShareFile Goes Mobile–Kind Of

By Ben Kepes

T Shirt Friday #53 – MSPOT

By Ben Kepes

Is the gPhone back on the cards?

By Ben Kepes

This week has all been about the iPhone – whether it was hyperbole about the pricing of plans, excitement over the new apps or general fan boy talk about uber design – not much made news that wasn’t iPhone related. One thing that didn’t garner the attention it could have
