That's not a lot of warning for folks who are using a product like ZenDesk. The whole point is that a tool like this is embedded into your companies work flows. To leave ZenDesk me…

For me, it's just gotten to the point that I'm tired of the exercise itself. The current idea seems to be "Do whatever the hell you want", and if enough people get mad "apologize p…

My experience: I'm a college dropout. I have 96 credit hour and am one class shy of my associates degree. I feel like I did get a lot of value from the liberal arts portion of my e…

I wonder if this takes into account the new micro tech startups? I doubt it. What this is really indicative of is just how bad the credit situation was in early 2009. I know that r…

Wouldn't it make the click free for the advertiser?

Of course it's entirely possible that Google did independently arrive at the same innovation. I have no idea how long Google has been working on this, but it was likely quite some …
