Seconds out, round two for the battle of phone heavyweights

July 18, 2008 · Leave a Comment

DESPITE the challenger tripping while leaving its corner last week, Round Two of the Apple vs Blackberry bout is underway at last.The launch of the new iPhone 3G has taken the tussle between these two heavy-weight fruits to a new level and the industry is now eagerly watching to see which creeps ahead on points.

Apple staggered a bit when the bell went, much to the disappointment of the crowd, many of whom had queued outside for hours to be ringside at the start.Systems failures made it near impossible to register an iPhone and the choice was to leave empty handed or hang around through the morning in the hope of getting started with one.

The judges’ verdict on the early action is that honours are even. Both are good phones, the lightweight Safari Browser on the iPhone makes it a very smoky sufer, but Blackberry is much more versatile with e-mail. Whilst the Blackberry looks and feels corporate, the iPhone is more cool and funky.Now if you just want a handset to make phone calls, these heavy hitters are not for you.Then again, if you like the idea of using a phone for a decent standard of Internet on the move, be aware that costs are, as yet high.

The bill for getting downloading YouTube clips can pack a nasty surprise.You might, though, want to wait for Google to enter the ring. Google Android is coming and the prospect of quick knock-out blows with fast, handset, based versions of Google Search, Gmail and Google Maps is tempting.

Important days ahead for future of the Net

July 14, 2008 · Leave a Comment

THE Net headlines this week have been dominated by Viacom’s Round One victory in its legal battle with Google, owners of YouTube, over copy-right infringement.

A judge rules that Google must hand Vicom a 12,000 Gigabyte database recording every time a YouTube clip was watched and by whom. If you watched any YouTube clip, the details will be included. They will not identify you by name, but you’re IP Address and any login name you used will be there.

The one billion dollar claim against Google is for the copyrighted material that users uploaded to the site. Google say it is the fault of those users and that it complies wit the Law by removing illegal material once notified. However, this excuse is a bit thin given that you do not need to try hard at all to see blantant infringements on the site.

For instance, I am writing this Sunday afternoon (13 July 2008), and already I can watch still warm, if grainy, clips of the yet to finish Nadal vs Federer tennis marathon . Broadcasters’ copyrights count for nothing here.

It could yet be that Viacom will seek to use the data in question to go after those who posted their clips on the site. What do you think? Are these YouTube users performing a helpful public service or should the book be thrown at them?

One way or another, this is an important case. The nature of the Net,. The accessibility of Information and the privacy with which we use of it may all be at stake.

Email Etiquette.. Unleash the Write Impression

July 13, 2008 · 1 Comment

Are emails always necessary for communicating your business? if they are, my pointers below will come in very useful in your communication process.

Ask yourself whether an email is necessary in the first place. Emails can often be misinterpreted, and frequently a quick chat or a brief telephone call can be more productive.

Ask yourself why you are using the “cc” function. The “cc” function is there to provide the cc”d recipients with an information update because they need it. If they have an action point in the email then they should be in the “to” section. If they are in the “cc” box because you want to put pressure on the main recipient or because you think you will look good then think carefully about whether they should be there at all!

Sometimes, when sending an email to many people, it is useful to put the addressees in the “bcc” box. That way, as in this email, if the reader clicks on “reply to all” then not everyone is copied in unnecessarily.

Thoughtful use of the “subject” box can help the reader decide how to treat the email. Letting people know whether something is urgent, or whether it is not urgent, can often be helpful. There are many clear guidelines out there for the “subject” box, and these should be followed when applicable.

If you are asking the reader to do something as a result of your email, try to make clear what is required and by when. You can use the “follow up” flags in Outlook to help you and your readers to manage these tasks in a more organized fashion.

CAPITAL LETTERS NORMALLY SUGGEST THAT YOU ARE SHOUTING! So, unless being used for headings and titles, be careful about the use of capital letters.

Language and phrasing should always be civil and courteous, you are all representing your website design company and you should never drop your standards. This applies to internal email as well as email to other parties.

Use the spelling checker to make sure mistakes are minimized. You can configure Outlook so that spelling is checked before an email is sent.

Bear in mind that email correspondence can be submitted into legal proceedings such as disputes and tribunals. When writing an email, ask yourself whether you would be happy for the contents to be reviewed in such circumstances.

Don”t make your emails excessively long, especially as nowadays many people are reading email on phones and Blackberry devices. Use attachments to convey long and/or complicated pieces of information.
