Sharepoint 2010 unveiled:What’s Exciting and What’s Not.

A large part of the global SharePoint community descended upon Las Vegas last week to attend the SharePoint Conference 2009.  The unveiling of new SharePoint 2010 platform was, undoubtedly, the highlight and core focus of the event and Twitter was hammered all week with tweets containing #spc09 and #sp2010 hashtags.

So for all of you (like me) who missed this massive event the good news is there is plenty of information trickling in already and lots more to be pouring out over the next few weeks.

Sharp SEO Tools for Sharepoint

This week, we progressed in making our SharePoint-based company website  more “search engine optimized”.

Google is still the top, most visited site and search engine in the world. By far without a doubt.

I’m curious to know how many users globally have set their browser homepage to Google? I wouldn’t be surprised if it was close to 50% (no way of really knowing, I suppose).

Nevertheless, what the top search engines including Google are not useful for are searching through the millions of new conversations, comments, chats and tweets that are being pumped into cyber-universe every hour.

Green, fat & happy (and not pressed for words)

The title of my post indicates how I feel (not how I look, I’ve been assured) after finally having my own blog.

For those of you keen on learning how to start your own blog, there are naturally scores of online articles at your disposal. Nevertheless, I have the urge to share a bit of my own experience.

Lets assume you’ve passed the stage of answering the all-important questions of  “what do I write about?”  and  “who do I target?” and are ready to choose a blogging platform.
