David Temkin, founder and CTO of Laszlo Systems, is bragging to me about Laszlomail – a Flash-based email client. They’ve been licensing it out (EarthLink licensed it out). He tells me they just made it available for free on the Web. Looks very interesting. What do you think?

iPodder was forced to change its name to Juice Reciever.

Yesterday a reader gave me crud about only writing about Microsoft. Usually when that happens that is an early-warning sign that I’m in a rut. So, how do you get out of a rut? Force yourself to.

So, here’s a little experiment; Can I get to 100 posts without mentioning Google, Yahoo, or Microsoft? (GYM)

That’s going to be tough. Let’s try.

How hard will it be? Well, over on Shawn Morrissey’s blog I just learned that the Whole Foods Market’s CEO is now blogging. Would it break the rules to comment that Shawn is a coworker of mine? Nah, but it gets close.

So, why do this? Cause I had an entrepreneur last night tell me that when I linked to his company recently his company’s sales doubled.

That reminded me of my time working in marketing for Winnov and I was frustrated by trying to get anyone to pay attention to what our company was doing. I remember what it was like to have all the press pay attention only to Microsoft.

So, let’s see if I can do 100 posts without talking about the big three companies.
