TeliaSonera meets Smith & Wesson

When I saw this on my IDG news ticker, I had to click through. Gunplay Blamed for Internet Slowdown I was hoping they meant that too many people were playing World of Warcraft. While that might be the case, the news item was about the more sinister option - somebody amed a gun at a chunk of fiber optic internet backbone near Cleveland and pulled the trigger, causing a service slowdown for many in the Norther half of the USA. Some will call it terrorism, some will call it vandalism and some w

Skype Slows, Stops. Swamped or Stumped?

Publish date: 2007-8-17 04:08 Posted by The Ipswitch Blog

I have to admit it took me most of the day to realize that there was a world-wide Skype outage going on. My client was behaving strangely but I assumed the network guys were monkeying around and had blocked a port or something. This is big. People are migrating to VoIP of one kind or another in droves, and folks love a free or mostly free service, and Skype has been super-reliable for years. First the eBay acquisition, now this. Have Skype been hit with a virus or an attack, or have they ju

Cyber Criminals in Crisis?

Publish date: 2007-8-13 22:59 Posted by The Ipswitch Blog

SC Magazine picked up some fresh propaganda from Kaspersky labs yesterday suggesting that "the anti-virus companies have the upper hand" according to Alexander Gostev, a senior virus analyst at Kaspersky Labs. Gostev and Kaspersky posit a "crisis of ideas" in which cybercriminals have just run out of inspiration and are just turning up the volume on their back catalogs, like so many bad heavy metal bands. "Virus writers are concerned solely with earning dirty money and are incapable of coming

But what happens when you Digg a Google alert?

Sometimes I wonder if anybody actually reads an original source anymore. Why go to an actual media site, like Network World or Wired or Boston Business Journal when you can use news aggregators to have information on your chosen topics culled from all kinds of sources and delivered to your inbox or reader? It seems the chances of an interesting or serendipitous but off-topic item just won't get through anymore. Ever the luddite, I was actually reading the New York Times section by section when

WhatsUp Gold took the cake - and first place - in CRN's Network Managment Bake-Off this week! In a thorough CRN Test Center investigation, engineeers compared Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold with solutions from Solar Wind and Ad Rem in a dynamic, heterogeneous network environment. CRN also described each vendor's partner programs and the profit potential inherent in each network management solution. WhatsUp won kudos for features, price/performance and ease of use and the reviewer noted that "....Whats

IBM discovers SMB market (again); reorganizes to serve it (again)

Publish date: 2007-7-23 21:32 Posted by The Ipswitch Blog

It looks like another slow-moving thought has finally penetrated the big blue shield, sending a small army of blue deck chair arrangers into action. According to the good folks at IDG, "IBM shakes up sales organization to target SMB market" IBM is realigning its Systems and Technology Group (STG), creating one sales group to sell to large enterprise customers and another to sell to SMBs, business customers with no more than 1,000 employees. It will also better integrate STG with IBM's Global

Web 2.0 means twice as many ways to lodge your virtual foot into your corporate mouthpiece

Publish date: 2007-7-16 21:22 Posted by The Ipswitch Blog

This afternoon, I'm off to San Diego to participate in Baptie & Company's Marketing Focus Conference, where I'm going to present on a panel called "How Web 2.0 Will Affect Your Brand Messaging and Communications." In addition, I'll be facilitating workshops on Blogs, RSS, Podcasts & Wikis (oh my) and Engaging with External Blogs, Communities & Chatrooms. If the analogy holds, I bet the workshops will be even more interesting because - as with web 2.0 - there will be more viewpoints aired.

Corzine takes vow of email abstinence

Publish date: 2007-7-14 00:11 Posted by The Ipswitch Blog

Just a couple of days ago, I blogged about Email Bankruptcy, where people just give up responding to email and delete it all to start over. Today, I read that Governor Jon Corzine of New Jersey has quit email cold turkey. Here are two comments attributed to the emailless governor in the NYT article: “We’ll go back to the 1920s, and have direct conversations with people,” “It’ll slow processes down,” Mr. Corzine acknowledged. “We’ll just have to find another way to do it.” So why the e-withd
