I’ve had a request to provide a single link to the Blogger Socialite series of posts – this is it!
The series is now complete – whew! There is a shorter, “official” set of bios (suitable for easy printing) here – the “bootleg” Blogger Socialite set will also be in print-able format shortly (thanks, Jennifer Berk!)
So, [...]

Perusing through the home page design of major pharma companies, today I arrived at Merck.com. First impression – visual overload! Lots of links and sections, not much white space, and the overall sense that it was going to be serious “work” to find what I needed here – or even to know what it is [...]

Do you ooVoo??

I was hit with a flurry of invitations in the last two weeks to “ooVoo” – which I resisted initially, as I sometimes feel overloaded with all the new collaborative/on-line toys.
Then I got a more personalized invite from one of my favorite local bloggers, C.B. Whittemore. And it hit me – a free service to [...]

Taking the iPhone plunge

OK, I finally did it.
Tired of a cell phone that wasn’t a great performer, and wanting to consolidate a number of functions (contacts, calendar, e-mail, music, etc.) into one device, I decided to shed the old technology garments and jump into a stylish new Apple iPhone.
I figured it was going to take a number of [...]

Quite possibly one of the briefest contributions I’ve ever made – Six Words. A recently released book called Not Quite What I Was Planning – Six word memoirs by writers famous and obscure features page after page of fun and interesting six-word summaries of life’s lessons.

Nonetheless, all of us – every person, company or product – has a brand. That is, an image and a feeling that occupies the mind of people who have encountered us. [...]

This week, it’s time to review AstraZeneca’s home page, in my occasional forays into critiquing the websites of pharmaceutical companies. I don’t do exhaustive site reviews here; just high-level impressions of the home page and the overall navigation design.
When you type www.astrazeneca.com into your browser, you arrive at the home page of the AZ International [...]

It had been a long time since I’d gone on Bristol-Myers’ site. So it was a pleasant surprise when, a few moments after typing www.bms.com into my browser, an interesting voice began speaking to me.
