Will Johnston produces Thinkmedia. I have been involved with technology and product development since 1983 when I bought and started programming my first PC. I was a member of the Apple HyperCard development team, founder of the BuyDirectory (among the first consumer search engines), Sr. Product Manager for PDF at Adobe Systems, Sr. Product Manager for Commerce at Inktomi Corporation and one of the earliest users of the WELL and Usenet.

Thinkmedia provides consulting services for the intersection of technology and business.

So, I've decided on the sandbox I will be exploring for web services development exploration. Macromedia's Studio MX Development Environment seems like the ticket. I'll be giving it the 30 day test drive of Cold Fusion, Dreamweaver and Flash. The goal is to establish a core set of development tools and an environment for web services experimentation. The Seybold Group survey indicated that MX was comparable to .NET for web services development and distribution. Having been a Macromedia Developer and an MS Developer in the past, I'll go with Macromedia... for now at least. comment [] 2:36:58 PM    .

Google News is already very impressive, but when they enable personalization it's going to be outrageous. Google News Site comment [] 9:21:41 AM    .
