Today is the day. I have been working on a new project called Modal Tracker. A system to track intermodal shipments. We are starting our FREE beta officially today.
Modal Tracker is an online system for tracking shipments done via steamship carriers. Modal Tracker features automatic updating of your shipment's information from online sources. You don't need to do the manual work. Modal Tracker is web-based software, so it's easy to get started. There's nothing to install. No servers to buy. Just enter a bill of lading number and you're started.

The action point for the day is to identifying those trends in our market that have already happened, write about their longevity and their effect on our life and organization.
Software as a Service For the Rest of Us
Over the past few years, and particularly in 2007 Software as a Service (Saas) has really broken out and has become a force in the software industry. The first large scale SaaS offering that really broke through to my consciousness was Salesforce.com, then for me came Basecamp from 37signals.com. Salesforce.com represented a high level enterprise offering, with a high level of complexity and expense. Basecamp brought software as a service home to us all.
