The functionality and promise of Adobe Connect is mouth-watering. The idea of what this thing could be isn’t an application, its a revolution. Collaborative screen-sharing, web-conferencing with integrated audio, video and text chat, file-sharing, the cure for blindness and cold-fusion. Great where do I sign up? Oh – its FREE?! We’re saved.

Nothing groundbreaking but it’s nice to see the viewership numbers cross referenced against the network. Take a look at how FOX has only…
I’ll write moe about this in the future, but I attended the AIGA/NY Fresh Dialogue: IN/VISIBLE talk last evening and Fernanda Víegas demoed Many Eyes. This groundbreaking collection of data visualization tools and datasets is bound to make lots of noise as the months and years progress. Taking a youTube/wikipedia approach to democratizing data visualization…
This has been getting kicked around the blogosphere today and I wanted to chime in…
