True Ink Support For Tablet PC Outlook Users Intriguing new tool from Einstein Technologies - that enables true ink entry of Contacts, Appointments, and Tasks in Microsoft Outlook on Tablet PCs.  Product info states that it allows Tablet PC users to "Quickly enter data into Outlook using only your pen and without being slowed down by incorrect handwriting recognition results and the on-screen keyboard".  Just downloaded free demo version and am trying it out. 7:16:41 PM    comment []

Blogs Offer Peeks Inside Small Firms Interesting overview of blogging through the lens of small businesses.  (Boston Herald) Pro/Con Excerpts: Pro:  ``People turn to Internet search engines like Google all the time now to find out about businesses like restaurants,'' says Winer, whose blog is at www.scripting.com. ``The question is who will be the authority? You or somebody else? With a blog, you can make sure your story is getting out, and you can get feedback from your customers, too.'' Dave Winer, ``blogging evangelist''/Harvard Law School Con:  ``Who wants to wade through all the randomness of a blog to get to something useful?'' asks Michael Katz, whose Blue Penguin Development in Hopkinton helps businesses create e-mail newsletters. ``It may be voyeuristically appealing if the blogger is a big name . . . but for the average small business person, there's not enough of a hook for anybody but the blogger's mother to pay attention.''
