Virtual applications 1+1=3
One of our Saasu customers optimises Web 2.0 in it’s original meaning. He uses 88miles.net for tracking time on projects against customers and uses Saasu.com for his accounting ledger, tax and so on. 88miles and Saasu’s API’s have a little chat during the day keeping all his stuff in line, like a couple of fax machines having a banter. bidi bidi bidi beeeeep bidi bidi bidi —– Don’t you love that, it’s not humans having to do it!
What the customer actually has is a virtual application. Two distinct applications developing and enhancing separately but operating as one. Very cool.
Portfolio managers use tools to optimise placement of investments. It’s all about rigour and hard maths. So to should we optimise how we spend our time. It’s all too easy to concentrate on money, it’s in your face day in and day out, but people forget to act on the well known truth that time is money. You cannot separate the two.
Myles Eftos of Madpilot Productions built the 88miles.net connector, so a hat tip to the mad pilot. Check out his blog he shoots from the hip which is just how I like it.
