Conn and Michael are using podcasts in a very innovative way to radically improve internal company communications. I’m really looking forward to Conn’s presentation at the it@cork Podcasting for Business event tomorrow night now!

    [At the outset, let me say that any comments I make on this event will be coloured by the fact that I was one of the organisers!] Ok, with that out of the way, I think yesterday’s event was a tremendous success! There were over 250 people attended (Catherine can give me exact numbers but…

    Jacques-Etienne Grandjean is the Senior Director, Comm Sector Western Europe of Microsoft. Jean-Etienne’s presentation title is “Are Desktop Applications the way of the past?” Jacques-Etienne is unfortunately doing a sales job on Microsoft Live rather than addressing the actual title of his talk. Not once, even when discussing search, did he mention any of Microsoft’s…
