Here’s a how-to tip that will help you and your company stay abreast of who’s taking about you and which resources (like GISuser.com) are promoting your news or publishing material about your company – Google news alerts. Hopefully many of you already subscribe to alerts but if you don’t then I suggest you consider doing so. Personally, I like adding these alerts to my custom google homepage (iGoogle) but you can also get these alerts via email. Here’s how it works:
– jump to the awesome Google news home – this resource aggregates industry news from only bonafide news resources around the world (there’s also a blog/news option as well collecting “news” from blogs. (yes indeed, a blog is different than a traditional news resource)
– search on a keyword like “esri”
– request email alert to the results of this news search
– optionally, view the output in RSS format
– it’s very simple but very useful!
– you can now view news alerts as they appear online or get daily or even hourly alerts via email – once again, this is but one of the many great benefits of getting your news etc… featured at online news resources like GISuser,com, LBSzone.com or amerisurv.com!

The 8GB Nokia N95 – GPS, loads of memory, now games!
Rumors of the 8GB Nokia N95 are not exagerated. I have to admit, info about this device is tough to locate on the Nokia website although there are many images posted in the press area (no wonder people have a hard time buying this awesome device!) I wish I could tell you more about the availability on this elusive device, however, if you have a Nokia shop near you (New York, Chicago) you might see this cool device for sale. Like the traditional N95 its a quadband World phone, complete with integrated GPS, loads of cool apps to leverage you location information and memory – lots of it. With the supported 8GB card (supplied with this one) you can store all kinds of apps, videos, music and as of today you can try ALL the N-Gage games for free! N-Gage has matured from a device (mine got stolen from my car a couple of years ago – want some games??) to a platform. More on the 8GB N95 can be found (I think) at nseries.com or nokia.com (see also the N95 support site) . A tip.. Nokia, to sell even more of these units maybe bundle some integrated GPS supported apps on the deck that work without the need for doing loads of research, for example, send and MAP the photo to flickr, Google maps (like a MyMap) and try a couple of cool colors like Pink and maybe even a “Trimblish” yellow with a ruggedized, grippy shell.. that would sell! This device appeals to mobile field force workers and outdoor enthusiasts, maybe try marketing to them!
