4 ways AI is remaking sales
Technology was supposed to save us time and make our lives better. But for most of us, all the tech in our lives has just added to the burden.

A species of notes like the ones you pass to your BFF in class? I expect if I could dredge up those first 100 electronic messages I sent, I’d…
Summertime, and the Livin’ Is…
Here in NYC, a handful of industries still offer summer hours, which means at least every other Friday you get to cut out by midday. We wanted to find out whether the weather affects our customers’ schedules. Are they among the privileged few? Are they showing up later to sneak in a few waves? Are…
Why supporting Microsoft Outlook.com and Office 365 calendars is a big deal for us
Whenever you set out to create something entirely new, you are faced with a slew of tough choices that boil down to: How can we limit our feature set to the barest minimum and still make something useful?
