The best answer might be Lamson, by Zed Shaw: http://lamsonproject.org/ An extensible SMTP server in Python. You might still have to write some email-specific plugins, but they would probably be reusable. For instance, a CSV-receiver plu

The web industry needs a positive political platform. A platform we can explain to legislators. A platform that delivers clear benefits to the economy. The content industry has done a good job of packaging their platform. Legislators, wh

I agree with Alex. We can say that e-commerce is still in the "pre-google" phase, by analogy to search. E-commerce sites could be much more than electronic mail-order catalogs. Amazon has tapped one dimension with customer reviews, but th

I think this is the tip of a large iceberg, and we may see more of the iceberg in upcoming years. A large number of web users have discarded traditional ideas of privacy to post information about themselves. Suppose Facebook applies some M

I just tried it. With 10M entries in the array, the "slow" way takes 509 ms and the "faster" way takes 362 ms. So we can save roughly 15 nanoseconds per iteration. Or a 30% speedup - assuming nothing happens inside the loop. (Of course th

That was my first thought. I ran the "slow loop" through the online compiler at: http://closure-compiler.appspot.com/home And whether I checked "Simple" or "Advanced" I got: for(var a = 0;a < arr.length;a++) So it's not optimizing th

Can you suggest any way of gaining a broader perspective? Both companies mentioned in the article are B2C and highly visible. They may have "visual punch" outweighing their "economic punch". How can we get a broader, more realistic pictur

"Simple" as a discussion-starter? Great. "Simple" as a universal prescription? Maybe not. Chipotle thrives on its simple offering; Cheesecake Factory thrives on its deep menu. Larry Ellison fought against the "best of breed" concept to p

Thoughts so far: The templating system is interesting. It does something I have not seen before: You can define one template, then execute it server-side (in Java only) and/or client-side (compiled into Javascript). To achieve this, the t

This is wonderful news; I'm really grateful to Google for opening this. We already knew that Google's major javascript apps were not using GWT. I always had reservations about GWT because I think javascript is a very nice language. (Just

Excellent article. For some time I have felt the need for this, but not acted on it. Can anyone compare the merits of the proposed tools? Also, how does Zotero compare?

Sounds like you're ready for a good sales book or two. I think one of the best is "SPIN Selling". It's not what it sounds like. It's almost the only sales book based on real research. http://www.amazon.com/SPIN-Selling-Neil-Rackham/dp/0
