The blog effect and the ?blog-blogger? relationship
The case that Manu Contreras writes in his blog, ‘Proletarium’, is very curious. Some days ago he sent me a picture of the image of his mobile version of Gmail in his PSP. Apart from being published in ?google.dirson.com?, a post in the international version -to which Manu is probably not subscribed- was written too. Continue reading »
The importance of talking with your customers
In the business and institutional world, blogs are usefull for suppliers of services and products to get to know their clients a bit better, so that they can be faithfull to them and also innove.

New blogs in Alianzo’s network
We keep increasing our network of blogs. Though Alianzo is not a ‘blogs company’, we keep developing products in this field. Most of them are niche blogs, as they cover very specific issues which were not supported so far:
- Redes Sociales is our company blog
- Nuevo Digital is a blog written by several journalists trying to reflect how Spain is viewed in foreign countries
- BlogWimax is a blog about the WiMax revolutionary technology
- SurfKultura is a well-known blog about surf
- EleccionesVascas was our first blog and covers basque politics
- Generación XXI is a blog about a television contest
- DiarioLinux is a blog about free software
BlogWimax, the new blog from Alianzo
I am proud to announce today the birth of Alianzo’s new son, blogWimax. It is a blog about WiMax, the so called “next revolution in telecommunications”. We really believe WiMax is going to change the way you use the Internet as in the near future we will really be able to connect from anywhere, creating new services and possibilities. What is more, support from Intel gives WiMax the credibility that UMTS did not have for mobiles. Continue reading »
