Quick comment: We regulary hear from a steady stream of readers who use laptops and/or mobile phones from their employers. Yes, they are free but we also hear (try, daily) that they are not allowed to download any apps on these devices and when it comes to mobile, we have heard from a few people that they get very limited data plans.

* Sprint and Ask.com have a GPS info/search tool. Learn more about the service here.**

Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
