"We realize this is not the norm for a company to close its public web site, but our strategy was to identify 50 of the leading transaction-based companies and establish relationships with each of them. To date we have accomplished that task and actually have a number of active pilots and projects in the mix as we move towards full production in Q4.
"Thus since we have already identified, contacted and established relationships with these 50 select companies we do not believe it serves in our best interest to release any "know-how" or other corporate information to the general public." -

Nick Wingfield: "Lately I've been testing a cellphone location-sharing service that I found simple, useful and non-creepy enough that I can imagine people thirtysomething and older using it.

Financial Woes: Root Cause
This week, a compelling offer came in the mail from one of the banks whose credit card I pay off each month. It strikes me that their simple proposition is the root cause of our current national financial crisis. Our society’s seemingly insatiable appetite for immediate gratification built a house of cards that could never endure.
The cruel irony is that our government is trying to solve the problem by applying precisely the same methods that got us into trouble in the first place.
I suppose we old fashioned sort who have practiced a "save now, buy later" philosophy will weather the storm quite nicely. But our children and grandchildren will unwittingly be left holding the bag – collectively shouldering the immense obligation to "pay it off later."
