May 26, 2009

Given that we just launched our own in house Twitter tool  called CipCip which based on the Laconica platform I thought it might be interesting to post this TechCrunch article which was written by Yammer CEO David Sacks.  Yammer is the hosted version of Laconica.  While I think Yammer is a great idea the problem […]

Finally, a Twitter app for Thuraya satellite phones

April 24, 2009

When you live in a very quiet Italian village even Friday nights are dull.  Well, not dull just very, very serene.  If local kids got caught drag racing their mopeds down the streets of my village they would be so embarassed…well, you get the idea. All those quiet hours make for a very active mind.  […]
