I’ve fallen a bit off the blogging wagon in the last few weeks because of travel for work, a new agency of record agreement and a lot of deliverables, not to mention trying to spend some family time. As a result there is a bunch of news that I’ve thought about over the last few […]
Viigo posted a video describing the features of the Tango beta release for WES. It’s been there for awhile, but it’s whetting my appetite for Tango. Some details on the release’s new features; RSS, sports, weather and WES Conference data, are explained. More features including podcasts, stock information and flight schedule updates […]
Viigo’s new Tango program looks like it will release on June 16 according to their teaser page that includes screen shots that promises a new interface, channels for weather, sports, flight status, reviews, news and excitingly podcasts.
