Hopefully it will interest someone

Tasting Dictation App (via Why, That’s Delightful!)

Brilliant! Technology at it’s best.

Last night, I realised that the dictation app on my iphone can send things directly to Twitter. I decided to try it out. “ Testing dictation are up on the iPhone Glinner July 24, 2011 “ I said tasting ap! Tasting dictation ap!

e-Accident: Fax dead, e-mail seriously injured…middle-aged people confused

Have you any views on the introduction of a general ban on sending faxes in the enterprise? In this day and age, I feel it’s perfectly acceptable to expect someone to be able to receive an e-mail. As an enterprise, we obviously still need to receive faxes, but that can be handled by Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging as it stands. Sending outgoing faxes from PCs would require unnecessary expenditure, and I just feel that we should bite the bullet on this, do away with the actual machines, the analogue telephone lines they need, the toner and paper they use, and put this ancient technology out of our misery. If someone needs to send a piece of paper or a signed document to someone, they can scan it and e-mail it.

To be perfectly honest, e-mail is on the way out too. It’s a middle-aged, middle-class way of communicating, equivalent to our parents writing letters. My kids all have e-mail, but they only use it to register on web sites, and never for communicating. In ten years time, how will we communicate with the next generation of customers? Twitter? Facebook? Bebo? TwitFace? It won’t be by e-mail anyway.

And as for that noise the kids call music…

Answers on a postcard, please…

Now available from the AppStore (and if you’re reading this, then it also works!).

Posterous

There’s a great new free mobile/e-mail/SMS blogging
centralised service set now called Posterous.
It can auto-update your other online presences like Twitter, WordPress, Flickr,
etc also. Just e-mail a posting to post@posterous.com
and it does all the work!

Sounds VERY promising.
