I am subscribed to a PubSub feed (that I created) to let me know when anyone in the blogosphere references iUpload. Today I noticed some new incoming links related to a recent interview that our CEO (Robin Hopper) had with Infoworld.

Thanks PubSub, for letting me find the following blogs:

• Ray Schroeder @ Techno-News Blog
• Andy Lark’s Blog
• Jeremy Wright’s Ensight
• Tom Raftery’s I.T. views
• Directions Magazine

Why I blog this? Because it is an excellent example of the power of the blogosphere. It did not take me any extra effort to see what people were saying about us. All of the extra meta-data that blogs generate is so incredibly valuable!

iUpload Perspectives Applied (what’s this):

 Technorati Tags: iUpload

My previous post was written the typical way, using the WordPress interface.

For this post, I have bypassed the WordPress interface completely. It only took me a few seconds to write up this post using our new Perspectives QuickPost tool. I had to find a copy of xmlrpc.php for old (1.2) WordPress install, but that proved quite easy.

I have also added a Technorati Perspective with a couple of relevant tags to this post. Cool.

Anyone can use this tool now, for free. Click here to sign up for Perspectives.

Why I blog this? This is a first for me - a blog posting on my own blog using a blog tool that I helped create. I am sure you can understand why there is a smile on my face today.

iUpload Perspectives Applied (what’s this):

 Technorati Tags: iUpload, Perspectives

Only months ago, iUpload made a with a big splash at the annual DEMO conference - a leading industry conference for launching innovative technology products. At DEMO, the world was introduced to iUpload Perspectives. So, what is Perspectives and what does it have to do with blogging?

iUpload Perspectives lets you live in and communicate from one blog rather than wasting time going to different communities to submit content. You probably read your content in a single application - why not write it in single application as well.

Using iUpload Perspectives you can publish content to multiple different communities (such as Blogger, LiveJournal, Typepad, Yahoo Groups, or even your own MovableType or Wordpress blogs) with ease. Or, you can choose to limit who can view your content by applying Perspectives such as the Salesforce or Plaxo Perspectives. In addition, you can add valuable, content specific Perspectives, such as a Technorati tag or the office favorite, the Google Maps Perspective. Included below is an example of the Google Map Perspective, in this case showing the location of the iUpload corporate office.

Perspectives has been included in iUpload’s corporate blogging suite for the past few months. But now, Perspectives are available for everyone to use.

To start using iUpload Perspectives today, you have two options:

• If you do not have a blog at all, you can sign up for a free Personal Publisher account here.
• If you already have one of more blogs or communities that you would like to use with Perspectives, you do not need to use an iUpload Personal Publisher blog. You can simply use our new QuickPost tool with your existing blogs!

When you sign up for iUpload Perspectives, a link will be generated allowing you to use our new QuickPost tool as a toolbar button. The QuickPost tool allows you easy access to many of the features in Perspectives, without any hassle.

Why I blog this? I have been working at iUpload for about a month and a half now, and much of that time has been spent working on Perspectives. It feels great to be working on the cutting edge of blog software, especially since I get to work with such a solid team of people. Expect even more innovation from iUpload in the coming weeks and months.

And, I look forward to hearing any comments, suggestions, criticisms, enhancement ideas, possible Perspectives, and so on, from my wonderful readers.

The boys (and girl) at iUpload are up to something…

As you may or may not have noticed, I have not made many posts lately. But, there is a reason for the lack of content - and a damn good one at that.

I have been working on a world-class blogging application with the amazing team of entrepreneurial software developers at iUpload.

Please buckle your seat belt and remain in a seated position, while I write up some of the juicy details.

In the meantime, take a look at where my mind has been in the last little while. I just happened to have started a del.icio.us account a few weeks ago, so the links it contains are a pretty good idea what I have been up to. Or, to put it visually, here is my extisp.icio.us over the last few weeks.

I have been quite busy at the new company, iUpload. We even have the office dog, Tucker, coding.

Mind you, he looks a little distracted. He is probably trying to figure out how to steal more ‘people food’!

As many of my readers may know, I am a 4th year computer science student at the University of Waterloo. My sixth co-op work term began on Monday. I am filling a software development role with corporate blogging software leaders, iUpload.

It feels great to be working with a team of dedicated, knowledgeable and entrepreneurial peers who each understand the true value of blogs. The CEO blogs, as does the company. And, all of the team m e m b e r s blog.

My bias towards iUpload in future posts should be pretty obvious.

Echo Generation will continue to grow and evolve, but I have also launched a second blog using iUpload’s Personal Publisher software. The new blog will primarily cover blogging topics.

Stay tuned :)
