Spell with Flickr

by Jeff Hester · Jan 31, 2006

Tello: First Impressions

by Jeff Hester · Jan 29, 2006

Is it just me, or was last week’s launch of Tello a non-event? Sure, they have a great pedigree; Tello was the brainchild of Vonage founder Jeff Pulver.

by Jeff Hester · Jan 20, 2006

Yes, I was quoted in a front page story in yesterday’s Los Angeles Times. Was it about Web 2.0? Knowledge management? Social media? How about “none of the above?” Times staff writer Susannah Rosenblatt interviewed me for a story titled Growing Remote Areas See Fringe Benefits in Gov.’s Plan.
