DEMOfall 2006: uControl

uControl is one of a select few companies that were invited to present at the prestigious DEMOfall conference this week in San Diego. Over the last few months, I've been lucky enough to work with them. They truly are poised to revolutionize the home security industry. If you have a home alarm system and VoIP, check them out! If you only have a home phone line because you have an alarm system, check them out! If you want to make sure that your home is REALLY being monitored, check them out!

You can learn more about uControl by:

I'm also excited that uControl has decided to become involved in the blogosphere. They recently launched a blog at: blog.ucontrol.com.

Update: The Slowskys

I posted recently about the new "Slowskys" campaign from Comcast, which includes some funny commercials and a character blog. In that post, I talked about how the campaign could be more interesting if we got to see more video footage.

Well, my wish has been granted. It looks like the "Slowskys" have some outtakes they're circulating. Here's one for your viewing pleasure.

Sprint Blogging... Sort of

Steve Rubel at Micropersuasion points out that Sprint is now blogging. Well, actually, it's the Sprint Business Solutions folks that are blogging. Like so many other business blogs we've seen, it seems to be updated very infrequently... which is a shame. Has Sprint fallen victim to the same problem other businesses have when they approach blogging: trouble dedicating resources to keep it updated?

Blogger vs. Journalist Pay

There's been some publicly released information about the revenues of the Gawker Media blogs, including what they are paying writers.Tristan Louis has posted a great entry on his site that tries to break down some details, such as the amount of payment for each word.

And guess what... blogging is not that competitive with the pay of journalists. It may not pay as well on a per-word basis, but bloggers are writing a lot more often, and don't have many of the constraints that journalists do. Pros and Cons?
