Board of the World Turns 6 Years of Hands-On Snowboard Testing Into a Free Board-Matching App
Board of the World today launched a free mobile app that is designed to eliminate the guesswork, confusion, and marketing noise of buying a snowboard. Built on six years of testing more than 60 boards every single season, with zero brand sponsorships or pay-to-play influence, the app distills hundreds of in-depth, real-world gear reviews into an instant, personalized board-matching tool and season goal-tracking hub. At the core of the app is the Snowboard Finder recommendation engine.

Yesterday's Google Creator Event: An SEO's Take
(Let's start with a full disclaimer) I have the luxury of being a full-time SEO consultant and part-time creator over on Board of the World. While my site was hit to the point of near extinction with last September's HCU, it has been bouncing back since August's update.
License to compete: Regulators must step in to even the cloud playing field Original
After more than a decade of delay, regulators in three of Microsoft’s major cloud markets — the U.S., the United Kingdom and the European Union — may finally be taking steps to hold the tech giant accountable for its anticompetitive behavior. It is imperative that each of them act decisively, and soon.
It's Time to Get Your Intake Forms Out of the Stone Age
It comes up time after time – practices that don't have an electronic health records (EHR) system that includes digital forms (or don't have EHR at all) assume creating digital forms isn't possible. The problem is, paper is clunky and outdated. Your practice spends a lot of time and space keeping track of cumbersome forms for each and every patient who comes through the office. Patients have to complete stacks of forms, taking up their valuable time and filling your waiting room.
Apple Needs to Think Differently About Vision Pro for a Fractured World
Apple in June revealed its Vision Pro mixed-reality headset, which it hopes will change how humans engage with technology as much as—or perhaps more than—the iPhone and mobile computing did. Developers building for this new platform don’t think of themselves as just creating applications, but new digital worlds that users will inhabit. But the Vision Pro is arriving in a very different physical world, marked by an increasingly tense intersection of geopolitics and technology.
Mark Zuckerberg Is the Hero AI Needs
From Silicon Valley to Washington, America has suddenly woken up to the risks of artificial intelligence. While Congress is just beginning conversations over how to regulate AI, the technology is advancing at an astonishing pace. Rather than indulge the fantasy that regulation will establish a “responsible” AI trajectory quickly and sustainably enough, the better and more reliable bet would be on competition—more specifically, competition between proprietary and open-source models.
US needs to foster competition in the Cloud now Original
The single most important development in the digital economy over the last decade has been the architectural transformation from on-premise servers and software to “the cloud,” including computing and software as a service. Nothing has been more significant to reducing the costs of start-up innovation, enabling rapid scaling up and down of computing capacity in sync with demand and making progress on cybersecurity.
When tech firms ask for more regulation, raise your eyebrows
U.S. regulators and American citizens are rightly wary when large firms go to Washington and argue that less regulation and more corporate freedom of action is better. But what should we make of large companies, particularly tech firms, when they argue for more regulation?
Compete to Communicate on Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is the defining problem of the digital era. Data breaches, ransomware, IP theft and increasingly frequent dangerous attacks on networks are – as everyone knows – getting worse, not better. The risks to economic prosperity, social cohesion and national security have been mounting for years. We’re now at the point when the President of the United States had to put companies across the country on “high-risk” alert against a Russian cyber-attack – his most prominent warning yet.
Inertia is the enemy of cybersecurity
Human beings are creatures of habit, and digital systems have “humans in the loop” who inherently want to do things the way they always have. It’s a rate-limiting step for digital transformation, and a massive and under-appreciated barrier to improving cybersecurity. It’s the simple human preference for doing tomorrow what you did yesterday that leads users to repeat passwords, delay installing patches, and stick with old software because they’re comfortable with it.

Reaching New Heights in Load Holding for Cranes
By Steve Weber, Engineering Team, Sun Hydraulics Efficient, effective load holding is not easy. But you can improve your results and achieve counterbalance in almost every application if you apply an informed counterbalance valve selection in a smart circuit design. Two case studies involving cranes demonstrate the necessity of good counterbalance valve selection and the importance of smart circuit design for the best performance and stability.
Bloomberg Industry Group News
Manufacturers and other businesses are facing intensifying scrutiny related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It’s important they take a proactive approach to managing these pressures. Hundreds of lawsuits have now been filed over that family of widely used chemicals, including class actions. State regulators are increasingly asking businesses about their PFAS use.
Lessons from the 2016 holiday season: How B2B players can catch up in e-commerce
It likely comes as no surprise that the 2016 holiday season brought a significant jump in online sales to consumers. In fact, sales among merchants on our e-commerce platform saw a 27% increase year over year. Most notable though was the 23% growth in the industrial business-to-business vertical during the 2016 holiday season.
How to Find the Right Multichannel Fulfillment Software
If you’re a multichannel merchant you’ve probably already figured out that most software available today was not built to support a complete multichannel environment. The most widely-used platforms were designed for those selling through a single channel and shipping from a single system – which doesn’t match the profile of most of today’s merchants. So the most common strategy for purchasing software is to select best-of-breed solutions designed to suit the needs of each sales channel.
How Frictionless Inventory Flow Delights Customers
At this point in the game, every merchant should assume they’re competing with Amazon’s vision for the future. If you set that as the bar, you’ll achieve greater things than just incremental improvements. That said, very few merchants are actually prepared for that battle, especially in terms of inventory management – and inventory flow. Here’s a great example. Two years ago, I bought a dryer from a major home improvement store. I recently went in to pick up a part I needed to stack the units.

If you are expecting to feel relief from a long and tortuous election season on the morning of November 9, don’t.
Merchandising in Multiple Sales Channels
One of the most complex tasks in multichannel selling is preparing product content to support multiple sales channels. While you want some consistency between how products are represented in your brick and mortar store, your website and on Amazon, the way your products are represented varies widely. For example, a product description on a shelf tag in your store isn’t going to convince an online shopper to buy the same product on your website.
Building the B2B Webstore Your Customers Will Love
So, you’re a B2B seller and business is good. But, increasingly, customers want to buy online. And you know there’s an untapped opportunity out there but you’ve been hesitant to invest in an online store. Especially when most everything seems geared towards B2C ecommerce. Well that’s changed. According to Forrester Research, B2B ecommerce sales in the United States are on the rise and expected to reach $1.13 trillion in 2020.
Understanding the Complexities of the Multichannel Experience
In order to build the right experience across channels, it is critical to take a step back and understand the complexities associated with multichannel selling. Success for merchants today requires the integration of processes and systems that were originally designed in silos. These silos grew out of a belief that, as merchants began to move to online sales channels, they should treat each channel as a separate line of business, each with its own set of distinct processes.
Listen: Julian Edelman was mic'd up against Kansas City and it's as good as you'd expect
The always entertaining Julian Edelman was mic'd up during last weekend's 27-20 New England Patriots victory over the Kansas City Chiefs -- and it is as entertaining as you would expect. Returning from mid-season foot surgery, Edelman struggled through a number of drops in the game before hitting his stride and finishing the game with 10 catches for 100 yards.
