Must have tools for blogging
Several months back, David Terrar tagged me on "must have tools" for blogging. Here is my list: WordPress – the host of this blog Technorati – ranking that is all important. I am getting closer to 100,000th mark. Qumana – Blog writer/editor RSS Feed – tracking other blogs – Now that I use IE7, there […]
5 Things you might not know about me
It’s the festive season as well as the silly season, i.e. people are less stressed. It seems that there is a game of blog-tag going around the blogsphere in which bloggers are sharing 5 things about themselves that relatively few people know, and then tagging five other bloggers to it.

EIPP Market Analysis by Forrester
You can download the original powerpoint presentation from Forrester (thanks to Jean-Philippe Massin for the story). The title above is A/P EIPP. Once again, the theme is about purchaser-centric exchange solutions. I personally do not like the idea of segregating companies into purchasers and suppliers. In the long run, the solutions that cater for both […]

I checked my technorati rankings today, and to my amazement, I have moved up to 125,161th position. This is as a result of 102 links from 28 blogs. How have my friends and I done in relation to progress since 27th Oct 2006: Dennis Howlett – 9,607 (680 links from 210 blogs) –> 15,597 (717 […]

But I am disappointed with the followings: Details on the management has been removed. I know they went through […]

Introducing ebillingnews.com
Are you looking for news aggregators on EIPP? If so, it might well be worth visiting ebillingnews.com. Other than Accountis, not many companies are listed on this site. Looks like more work is required by the operators of this site. Tags: EIPP, eBillingnews.com
Introducing Microgen – eBilling or eInvoicing?
The term "billing" is usually associated with consumers, whilst the term "invoice" is used in the context of one business buying services or goods from another business. In the case of LSE listed Microgen, I believe, the term "billing" is used for B2B. Microgen’s services include: Managed services – rapid deployment and minimal up-front payment […]
