In order to fulfill my social media strategy these #iPhone and #iPad apps and web services make my day: Google Reader on PC/Mac, MobileRSS and Reeder  on iPhone/iPad does the heavy lifting. I have subscribed currently to 157 RSS feeds. These feeds produce at least 500 posts a day. I try to read the header at everyone. If I should actually reed the text I open it and decides if it should be marked (to be contemplated later) or passed to Instapaper. Topikality  is used to search for specific topics like iPhone invoicing, NUI and Virality Instapaper for iPhone and iPad do I use to read the articles behind the posts. And if some are interesting enough I pass it to my iFacturas, iakttakelser, observe or investor folder. From these folders I actually pass them with my comments to my blogs. My blog feeds Objective Marketer. Objective Marketer is used to do timed and repeated post to twitter, facebook and linkedIn, and reports the grade of success against some initial g...

After the excitement around our iFacturas.com  at the #BizSpark EU Summit in Paris, I have to write down some thoughts about immersive computing and invoicing. My main objectives were to represent a physical object and be faithful to the natural user interaction (NUI) metaphor. So we created an electronic representation of the paper invoice. We´ve done that by taking away whitespace and only showing a couple of lines. So in short; its an invoice image, and with this you can flip back and forth to earlier or later invoices. When you touch the invoice, magically appears some buttons, which let you filter between drafts, invoiced, sent and paid invoices. We are now striving to increase the smoothness of the flipping, it still a bit slow. To be true NUI however is pretty difficult. As you can see in our video , we are using some pop-up menu to do what we didn´t find enought space to represent. Now we´re trying to get rid of them, and doing that followi...

Hvordan moderne mobiler kan revolusjonere administrative rutine Sammendrag Jeg ser på utviklinger av ERP markedet fra et arkitektur, teknologisk og brukerflate synspunkt og vurderer produkter etter hvor de står i forhold til Azure og nye personlige mobiler som Apple iPhone og iPad, Android og MS Surface. Med dette i tankene gjør jeg en uhøytidelig gjennomgang av Acumatica og Mamut og sammenligner de med oss selv. Jeg konkluder med at Mamut er mest gammeldags og hører hjemme i Windows verdenen både mht til nettsky og Naturlig Bruker Interaksjon (NUI). Acumatica er nyere og hører hjemme i internett og Windows GUI. NEA er en  ERP leverandør for ekte nettsky og ekte NUI. ERP utviklingen ERP markedet har aktører med svært forskjellig teknologi, arkitektur og organisering. ERP kunder er tradisjonelt konservative, mange vil gjerne beholde innarbeidede rutiner. ERP produsentene er ofte en del år. Det gjør at vi kan enda se ERP systemer som går i MS DOS. Nå, nesten 20 år etter at Windows ...

LukeW explains this: While the Windows Phone 7 Series user interface may not be optimized for high information resolution, it does make interesting use of teases and transitions as highlighted in the video below. Because it is a touch-based device, the Windows Phone 7 Series uses a Natural User Interface (NUI) paradigm that turns actual content into interface controls. NUIs frequently need to let people know what elements are interactive. (Ideally everything is interactive in a touch-based UI but that's a different point.) NUIs should encourage exploration and give people "permission" to touch things. Teasing people is one way of encouraging interactivity and exploration. Se the resto of the article here .
