Ok, I’m game – what exactly is foldera? I’m very curious about this upcoming service and it’s offerings. Supposedly it will be free for the basic services and have enhancements available as pay-for add-ons when you need to upgrade.
From a small-business point of view, this service intrests me a great deal. I mean, the ability to focus on providing your services to your customers rather than spending time just maintaining your applications to run your business is appealing.
Let’s see – some features are email, task management, calendar, document manager, comment folders, activity folders, contact management, instant messanger… the list is quite long for services. I can’t wait to give it a try and see how it works for small groups.

So, The Wireless Report has posted an article that talks about CTIA (Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association) announcing a drop in customer complaints against the mobile phone carriers. They also express their doubts about its accuracy. While I hope that the carriers have improved their customer service (T-Mobile & Verizon seem to be working at it), I also am concerned that the overall customer satisfaction is still not increasing.
Check out The Wireless Report & CTIA itself.

So I suppose this article over at Pittsburgh Post-Gazette will add more fuel to those people trying to keep everyone from using electronics on airplanes.
Not a very interesting article, though it will be interesting to see if there is anyting of substance to this study. I’ll not claim that it isn’t possible, but sometimes I think we over analyze things a bit too much. I guess what frustrates me is that several studies in the past 18 mos. or so have indicated that there isn’t much of a problem, that airlines have worked towards “shielding” sensitive equipment, etc… Though with the current financial state of many airlines today, that is a bit hard to believe.
Its kind of like butter – first its bad, then its good, then we’re not sure – or chocolate, same thing. Guess it’ll be one of those confounding mysteries, or urban legends – better call the MythBusters.
