In: Business

Do we trust facebook as a shopping cart login?
In: Business
13 Jan 2011After reading the Oatmeal’s comic on How to make your shopping cart suck less, I wondered: should we trust Facebook as an alternative for creating an account in our online shop? Short answer No. That is too much data, given Facebook’s new policy to push you too share everything, I don’t want all my friends [...]

Ditch the Project Manager, Get a Mentor
In: Business

This is the information revolution, where anybody with the will power to learn, can be anything they want. Sure the revolution hasn’t reach everybody on the planet, but is on [...]
