Office Jotter
Office Jotter is the personal blog of Roger Whitehead, which he has been running since 2002. Roger gives broad coverage in it of computing and managerial topics. As the sub-title says, it offers "Tasty morsels on running the electronic business".
Deeper examination of product and supplier matters appears mainly in Roger's publications for Bloor, such as in his coverage of enterprise search and collaborative software (aka groupware).
