Skip the pitch







Skip the pitch

Skip the pitch 12/28/2004 09:12 AM

Jim Grizanzio, OpenSolaris Community Manager: "I spent nine painful years pitching messages in PR. But I'm out now, and I have a different perspective. Why must everything be a pitch to deliver a message no one believes? And why pitch bloggers? Why perpetuate the bad PR that the PR industry so richly deserves? Why not simply read blogs to understand the issues and the communities trying to interact with a company. And why not simply blog right along with those communities and join the conversation? In other words, skip the pitch."
Jim is commenting on Fortune Magazine's recent article Why There's No Escaping The Blog.

Should You Skip Out On Internet Banking?


Should You Skip Out On Internet Banking? 03/08/2004 11:04 PM
A security researcher is now claiming that everyone should avoid online banking because "it's no longer safe". The "no longer" part is a bit misleading, as he also says a home computer was "never" designed to be safe enough for online banking. The response, though, from a bankers' association (obviously a bit biased) seems to make a lot more sense. They point out that nothing online is completely secure, but that if users take the proper precautions they should be pretty safe. The proper response, then, is that these banks should do as much of that work as possible in getting their users up to speed on safer surfing techniques. However, to completely write-off online banking seems a bit excessive. Improving security should definitely be a priority, but that doesn't mean that the current solution doesn't work for now.

First Look: Skip Gateway's MP3 Photo
Jukebox
01/04/2005 06:54 AM
Gateway's MP3 Photo Jukebox is an interesting combination of good ideas poorly implemented. The $250 player has some intriguing features--including the ability to store and display digital photos--but in the end its weaknesses far outweigh its strengths.

One of those weaknesses is the display. The Jukebox is the first "mini" hard drive MP3 player to offer a color LCD, which Gateway touts as a major selling point. Unfortunately, at just 1.6 inches across (measured diagonally), and with a meager resolution of 128 by 128 pixels, the oddly square screen is much too small for comfortable photo viewing.

The Gateway has other size issues, too: While its light weight (3.4 ounces) and capacity (4GB) are similar to those of small-fry competitors such as the IPod Mini, Rio Carbon, and Creative Zen Micro, the Gateway is noticeably bigger than each of those players. In fact, its dimensions are close to those of the heavier 20GB Apple IPod. As a result, the Jukebox feels a bit hollow in your hand.

The Pitch


The Pitch 09/19/2004 08:03 AM
I got a msg from the Bush campaign (I'm a member of GOP TeamLeader) touting an HBO movie, 9 Innings from Ground Zero. The msg links to a clip about Bush throwing out the first pitch. In it, W lets us know the pressure on him not to "bounce" it. I can see why the Republicans are circulating it. It's a good piece of tape, in a patriotic-cum-Riefenstahl sense. And, on the other hand, it's maybe the most absurd reduction of a serious issue I have ever seen. You want to see American political cynicism at its worst? This is...

Offshoring where do we go next and my
run in with a pitch man
07/07/2004 07:21 PM

I felt really sorry for the guy that called the office last week. I get the holler from across the hallway hey some guy wants to talk to you about offshoring wanna take it? Hmmmmmmm those of you that have been reading here for awhile know my stance on offshoring. (When Hell freezes over) So I take the guys call. The least he could have done is called me via a real land-line instead I get the common static buzz of a net based call. We talk for about 30 minutes while I pick the guys brain nothing really brain shattering came out of the discussion.

He ask to send me some info and I say sure, I would be happy to look at their promotion material. A week later what finally shows up in my inbox, his pitch material curious read to say the least. Call me traditional, "Made in the USA" and "Support Stays in the USA". If any of you would like a copy of what they sent me drop me a line, I'll forward it to you. Companies are now weighing the backlash of their customers before offshoring some say it makes up at least 50% of the decision level process. [ZDNet]

Sun's identity pitch


Sun's identity pitch 12/16/2003 12:30 PM
At SunNetwork 2003 back in September, Jonathan Schwartz made the case that the Java card is the most strategic piece of Sun's whole technology stack. Actually, I'd say per-employee pricing is the real strategic innovation. But I've always hoped to see movement on the identity card front, so this clip, in which Schwartz stresses something I've been harping on for years, got my attention:
Java card support will be built into the desktop that we offer. It is the fundamental way we will help people to understand that if there were a menu item in your mail app that said, 'Show only mail from people that have been strongly authenticated,' then spam would disappear. 'Show me only content that has been strongly authenticated,' viruses would disappear.
