In a recent report, Forrester predicted that tablet sales could quadruple from 2010 to 2015, leading to a surge in tablet-based e-commerce and chipping away at the amount of Web traffic coming from PC's. Many site owners are already seeing a huge uptick in users browsing from tablets, and that upward trend will continue. Is your company's Website ready for these visitors? Test Your Site on a Tablet

Share with Delivr

http://jamesmichie.com/blog/2010/10/share-with-delivr/ I’m taking a break from writing a post about QR-Codes to share a little HTML and offer my first impressions of Delivr – a new tool that has been making the rounds on Twitter this past week. In a nut shell, Delivr combines the URL shortening/tracking services of a bitly.Pro account with a QR-Code generator such as qrcode.kaywa.com and then adds a couple of extra functions for good measure. For those of you who have not heard of Delivr or have not tried it yet, here is a brief look at what it offers. Signing up to Delivr gives you a variety of features including a profile page . However, unlike many other URL shorteners, rather than a simple text based list of the links you have shared, you get a series of thumbnails. I like this a lot as I am a big fan of the visual web.

SharedCopy

Glass is quite a buzz but I am still getting used to it. I don't like the crossed lines of communications and I am losing Glass each time I change my view. It's not quite right yet. As for Shared Copy, this seems to be a particular way of sharing screen shots and commenting on them: sort of OK but still not interactive enough for my student groups to collaborate. by pauljacobson Dec 24

What if the distinction between business and doing good vanished ? What if all those who engaged in business were committed to a deeper purpose , and all those committed to doing good were entrepreneurial and enterprising ? What would it take for a world of seven billion such people to solve all the world's problems ? http://www.flowidealism.org/index-project.html

I like the simple guiding principles. The fourth one: Critisise by Creating is similar to Edward de Bono's precept of Design Your Way Forward. I'm happy doing that rather than fighting over who's right. by pauljacobson Dec 18

Good commendation Doc! What I seek is the combination of a few great applications that enable online learning among my students: so far I have Moodle as the core, Cooliris for the resources, Pearltrees for the curation of resources, ISSUU for the publications, Glass for the exchange and Evernote for the memory / portfolio. I'm working on it.Of course, there's still a big issue with Flash and the iPhone. by pauljacobson Jan 7
