Accusoft's Blog

Accusoft played Vegas last week with the rest of the content management universe (and its close friends) at EMC World, EMC Corporation's annual conference for customers and business partners. Company reps hoped the show would offer a receptive crowd for the Prizm Content Connect document viewer and its ability to solve the twin problems of providing access to unstructured data and enabling secure collaboration -- and they were right.

No doubt you’ve heard of HTML5; but you probably haven’t seen a clear, accurate explanation of what it is, what it contains and what it can do. The term HTML5 is widely misused as an umbrella term for all sorts of technologies, some of which have no connection to the standard at all. If this has left you a little confused, it’s understandable.

In this feature we’ll give you an introduction to HTML5, showing you what it consists of and what you can do with it. We’ll also look at other technologies often mistakenly referred to as “HTML5 technologies.”

I thought it would be fun to look back at articles I had written in the past, perhaps to see how thoughts have or have not changed, and perhaps just for a laugh.

In September 2005 we were less than half the size we are today, and in September 2004 we were 25% of our current size.

I was very excited to attend the first ever Social Media Marketing World Conference that took place in San Diego, April 7-9, bringing together social media experts, enthusiasts and evangelists from all over the world to learn the latest trends in social media marketing. The attendees represented Australia, Canada, Mexico, Turkey, UK, and more.

During the conference there were several sessions available to attend over the course of two full days, featuring industry experts including Chris Brogan, Jay Baer, Guy Kawasaki, Mari Smith, Dave Kerpen, Amy Porterfield, Sally Hogshead, and many more. Every topic of social media you can think of was covered, from increasing lead generation using Facebook to sales prospecting tips on LinkedIn, and everything in-between revolved around content creation.
