Doggybites on the web in 2000. Yeah, baby!
We’ve updated our Enchanté website a little … finally. Advertisers can now find some info on what Enchanté is and how we work. More updates will follow.
Nokia promotes their Nseries on Enchanté. Check the ad on alex’s tools, denis au fil du web, belgique mobile, coolz0r, forret, zog, bnox, christophe charlot, expressions.be, iBert, kaosproject, kerygma, marketingblog, minor issues, monuments, ODD, pietel, planet gadget and smetty. Olé!
The great guys at Jobat are doing a Top Blogs special in June (Dutch). A free blogcampaign for some advertisers, advertising in the paper version of Jobat. I think our Enchanté members will be happy to hear that. Since the Jobat Top Blogs are the Enchanté Heroes! Sweet!
I think it is remarkable to see the effort Jobat is doing promoting blogs to job advertisers. Last time Lieven was at the office he dropped off some brochures on Jobat’s digital services. A chapter in the stylish brochure is dedicated to blog advertising. So sweet!
The guys from 37 Signals were mentioned in Time Magazine. Cool! But apparently not in the European version. Couldn’t help noticing this quote from Jason Fried.
First, kill all your meetings; they waste employees’ time. "Interruption is the biggest enemy of productivity," he says. "We stay away from each other as much as we can to get more stuff done." Use asynchronous communication and software instead to exchange information, ideas and solutions. Next, dump half your projects to focus on the core of your business. Too much time and effort are wasted on second-tier objectives. Third, let your employees decide when and where to work so they can be both efficient and happy. As long as their fingers are near a keyboard, they could as easily be in Caldwell, Idaho, as in Chicago.
I guess 37 Signals does not need an introduction. Most people have at least tried one of their tools. We at Adhese have been using and enjoying Basecamp (project management) for a while and have been testdriving Highrise since the day it was released.
37 signals’ ‘keep it simple’ philosophy is great! Tools that are easy to use, contain the features and flexibility you expect (and nothing more) … what else could you ask for? Every now and then you run into glitches, but hey, they are solved quickly and small updates keep rolling out. Everything is clearly communicated through their blog.
Highrise allows us – as a small company – to track and manage our contacts in a fast and simple way. I know there are probabely a dozen other solutions that offer a dozen more features, but we don’t need them. The power of 37 signals’ tools is that they strip their specs down to the essentials. And it is all about these essentials. Anyway, if you have a small business like us, or if you want to do some personal project or contact management, you should try these products.
Pricing is on a monthly basis. You could discuss hours on the price they charge and how they determine the price, but let’s skip that, I don’t feel like it. The apps do not require maintenance or updates which saves us time. We at Adhese have a pretty strict philosophy on this. Don’t spend time maintaining other applications – it is a waste. If you would compare highrise’s price to an hour of work … .
This morning I opened my laptop bag at the office, took my laptop out, connected it and noted that my wallpaper had changed, most of my apps were gone, all my data was gone … and that I had taken my girfriend’s macbook to work … doh!
No dogs in the office today … snif. Eating my morning snack without four hungry eyes staring at me.
I noticed Walter de’Silva in Wired’s Rave Awards mentioned in the Industrial Design category. Walter who? Walter designs cars? pfff. Not my cup of tea. He designed the Audi R8 … never heard of it. The last Audi I know is the Audi80 
.
But, ok, he got mentioned and the photo of the car in Wired didn’t show much. So let’s check the car online.
I found this vid, and OMG this car (and the reporter’s enthusiasm) seems amazing indeed.
The movie is to be released in summer 2008 but the campaign is up and running. Do you believe in Harvey Dent? And, no, the page not found is not what it seems.
