Charlene Kingston - Information Strategist and Writer So many people I know have an iPhone. I have an iPod Touch, which is a
second cousin to the iPhone--and I love it. But is there an iPhone in
my future? Find out.

Rethinking my communications strategy, I plot out the cost of upgrading to an iPhone and evaluate it against keeping my existing carrier and a similar phone.

I did the same, albeit not nearly as elegant, analysis when I considered the purchase of an iPhone many months ago. My husband has one and he loves it. You confirmed that I really can't afford one! I, too, have an iPod Touch and thoroughly enjoy its iPhone apps and connectivity wherever I can find wi-fi. Thank you so much for your post.

Really facsinating. I love to read, therefore I love pretty much any medium that suits the chore or the fun. Two "buts". I don't believe "print is dead", but I do look forward to a time when trees aren't leveled for the sake of print. And I will always love the tactile experience and smell of a real book in my hands, but I also like the convenience and cost of the electronic volume.

Charlene Kingston - Information Strategist and Writer Is "corporate creativity" an oxymoron? It doesn't have to be that way. In fact, this short ebook maps out the creative process and encourages you to incorporate creative thinking into your business environment.

And it includes this great Steve Jobs quote: "Why join the Navy when you can be a pirate."

Only 10 pages, but guaranteed to make you think in a new way.

Charlene Kingston - Information Strategist and Writer If you want to create a business "fan" page on Facebook, you must provide you have the right to create the page. Overall, this is a good move to build trustworthiness. However, it also serves Facebook by encouraging businesses to essentially advertise for Facebook on our company websites.

Charlene Kingston - Information Strategist and Writer Did you know that a company's org chart can give you important clues about the corporate culture? Put on your cultural anthropologist hat and take a look at yours (or a potential employers). Who knew Visio could encode so much valuable data?

Charlene Kingston - Information Strategist and Writer I have been inside two companies when they were on the Inc. 500 list. Both situations were stressful and ugly. Rapid growth is not an easy thing to manage. Here's someone writing about the kinds of challenges I saw up close and personal.

Addressing growth at your company can be complicated: What can you do to force growth? What price do you have to pay for growth? Is growth the right goal?

Charlene Kingston - Information Strategist and Writer I love new technology. Here's a laptop that uses a wireless connection to recharge itself in about the same time as a cabled charger. It's part of Dell's vision for a wireless ecosystem. Yeah!

That Dell is releasing a new laptop for business customers is the opposite of surprising. But the fact that it contains notable features not seen in any other laptops certainly is.

You have raised a really important point ... I also heard a report about this topic recently (NPR?) that was talking about how most modern appliances still use electricity when they are not powered on.
