I have always wondered where twitter fit into the scheme of things. LinkedIn is great for professional contacts, Facebook is pretty good for friends and family. Blogs are excellent for sharing information in an informal way or for sharing experiences.

Twitter was always the awkward cousin in my world, asking for attention (and getting attention from a lot of people). It never really made sense to me – why would you want to limit your post to 140 characters.

So often we hear stories of bad tech support, so once in a while when you get good tech support, it might not be a bad idea to mention it.

Greenshades - with their e-Filing center has been popular with Great Plains customers for a while. Last week I got a call from a customer who was on a deadline and getting an error while filing. The customer was frantic and his sense of…

Please no corny comments on the title of this post!

This is an interesting personal story that I have been wanting to write about for a while. 'It all started' 3 years back when I read a post by Leon titled - How to be Depressed.

Now generally I would skip past most "self-help, push yourself, you can be bigger and better or the seven habits of highly effective pets" stuff. However, Leon seemed like a normal guy. A good programmer, and great writer with an excellent sense of humor. He also has a life saving software product. So I read the post.

I loved the post.

Then surprisingly I…

I was shocked when I read last week that - iPad and iPad 2 represent 98% of all tablet activations.

Earlier this year a reports from Forrester concluded “Only 9% of consumers considering buying a tablet actively prefer an Android tablet — compared with 16% who prefer iOS and 46% who prefer Windows.” This was echoed by a Boston Consulting Group (BCG) report earlier this month – “42 percent of U.S. consumers would like to buy a tablet that runs Microsoft’s operating system. That makes it the most desired OS by a significant margin, trailed by Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android.”

I was wondering, how come people want a Windows Tablet more than anything, and iPad is leading with 98% activations ?

First of all, the complete report claiming 98% dominance of iPad in the Tablet Market, states they have NOT taken - “BlackBerry or Windows Phone 7 activations into consideration.” Its not exclusively stated, but I don’t think Windows Tablets are taken into account either.

Second, I think the marketing of Windows Tablets is so poor, it is really holding back the…
