<description><![CDATA[Big things often come in small packages. Consider microblogging, the emerging short-message medium offered by such sites as Twitter, Pownce, Plurk and FriendFeed. Some commentators have dismissed the Twitters of the world as places where the self-absorbed waste time writing about the mundane, but many reputable companies don't see it that way. Early-adopter companies are showing how to bond with customers and prospects on a new level. But clearly, with a medium in which messages are limited to 140 words and can quickly turn judgmental and negative, there are potential downsides. Here are five ways companies can leverage microblogging to help their businesses:<br/><br/>6 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[GOOGLE is giving everyone a chance to peek deeper into its database of search requests and discover the things that preoccupy individuals and, in aggregate, entire cities, states or nations, at any one time. The company is introducing a free service called Insights for Search. The tool is intended for marketers, but it allows anyone to track the popularity of various words and phrases that people type into Google's search box. The service is an extension of Google Trends, a two-year-old service that, for instance, reveals that Cisco's stock price and Michael Lockwood, the husband of Lisa Marie Presley, were two of the most searched terms Tuesday afternoon.<br/><br/>14 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It's known as Software as a Service (SaaS), or the idea that you can get your software delivered conveniently, and at a low price, via the Web. Unlike buying software the old-fashioned way, by paying a big licensing fee up front, you pay for SaaS-also referred to as on-demand software-in pieces, spread out over time. But as with most IT innovation, there's a lot of hype surrounding this technology-so much so that many of us don't know what to believe. Is this a viable thing? Should we be using this stuff? Don't worry, folks. I've done some research into this SaaS thing. Let me debunk a few myths.<br/><br/>7 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For years, eBay espoused an egalitarian view that all of its sellers should be treated equally. But these days, the online marketplace is increasingly taking an opposite tack by offering discounts to its biggest sellers, hoping to lure more of their business. The change in tactics, which coincides with efforts to revive the company's growth, is generating intense criticism from small sellers. Many fear that they will be unable to compete and accuse eBay of trying to push them out in favor of major retailers.<br/><br/>7 Vote(s) ]]></description>

But in this economy, some small company owners are deciding it makes more sense to move back home again.Although a home-based business has become much more widely accepted, moving back when you're in financial distress might carry some stigma. You may be unable to get a loan from a bank because your business doesn't appear healthy because you moved back home.<br/><br/>8 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you haven't noticed, some blogs are a lot stricter with their comment policies than others. I have recently advocated using blog comments as a way of promoting your site, but not in a form that is in any way spammy. The best way to get traffic from blog comments is to link your name to your site. This will give them the opportunity to see what your business is all about if they like what you have to say. They are not going to click on your link if you just comment to say that you sell jewelry for example.<br/><br/>13 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It was one security embarrassment after another for Apple the week of March 24.It began at the CanSecWest show, where the annual hacker contest challenged attendees to compromise a Vista system, a Ubuntu Linux system and a MacBook Air. Within minutes of the opening of the second day, the Mac was hijacked by security researcher Charlie Miller, who won the machine and a $10,000 prize for his efforts. Miller attacked the brand new Safari 3.1 browser through a new vulnerability, the details of which he declined to provide. The Vista and Ubuntu boxes survived the day. On March 28, the attack surface expanded to include popular third-party applications, which should make for easy pickings on both Ubuntu and Vista. The Vista box took much longer to go down than originally anticipated; it seems SP1 makes these exploits harder, perhaps because of NX support for heap memory, or perhaps the hackers simply didn't prepare on SP1. But in the end, it went down through a new Flash Player vulnerability, which the hacker describes as cross-platform. The Ubuntu machine was the only one left standing. Perhaps the attackers didn't have time to try the Flash Player on Linux.Apple doesn't tend to do well at these hacker events. It has a history of getting embarrassed. And back in the day of the Month of Whatever Bugs, the Month of Apple Bugs was probably the best of them. Put a Mac up against a serious attack, and it drops like a stone.In owning the Mac, it's likely that Miller used this recently revealed vulnerability in the Safari Webkit to exploit the machine, but nobody's talking. Safari is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because it fails to adequately handle regular expressions with large, nested repetition counts. Inaccurate compilation lengths are calculated, and an overflow results.<br/><br/>7 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[With its ability to lower the cost of voice applications and spur additional deployments, open source VoIP could be the solution smaller businesses have been looking for. PBX software has never been easy to design. Since its inception, vendors have relied on a hodgepodge of proprietary interfaces in order to add value and differentiate their wares. Because development has been so difficult, these products have typically cost a lot of money, in many cases more than small and midsize businesses could afford. Open source solutions try to alter underlying software development dynamics. The proponents feel that the source code for any program should be made available to the public for alteration and improvement.<br/><br/>8 Vote(s) ]]></description>

The following fifty proprietary programs are listed in no particular order within broad categories along with their open source alternatives.

In other cases, you'll discover that the open source alternative isn't quite up to snuff yet. And, in other cases still, you'll learn that some proprietary programs are real gems, but that the open source advocate can replace those gems with equally shiny objects from the open source repertoire.<br/><br/>21 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[At its simplest, a wiki is software that lets users work together to create and edit a collection of linked web pages. The online encyclopedia Wikipedia is the best-known example - its 85,000 contributors have written, edited, and policed the content of more than nine million entries. Like Wikipedia, all wikis benefit from the network effect: The more people who use it, the theory goes, the better the quality of the information. When FSB first wrote about business wikis nearly three years ago, they were largely untested, and early adopters were finding it hard to encourage employees to use them. Now the nearly universal familiarity with Wikipedia and a proliferation of services targeted at small business have helped make wikis commonplace. SocialText, one of the better-known providers, started hiring salespeople dedicated solely to the small-business market for the first time in 2007. Many firms are keeping secure wikis for purely internal affairs. But others are finding that opening them up to customers saves a surprising amount of time, energy, and money - and offers other benefits as well. Angel.com, a McLean, Va., maker of software for calling centers, which has 55 employees, created a wiki on SocialText last year that lets clients leave comments, share their likes and dislikes, and even submit suggestions for troubleshooting the software.<br/><br/>10 Vote(s) ]]></description>
