Our fearless leader Todd Clayton will be one of the speakers at this year’s SSO Summit, which takes place July 23-25 in Keystone, Colorado. Todd’s presentation is called “Identity Integration: The Key to Successful SSO”, and he will be spotlighting one organization’s identity challenges that were overcome with the help of Radiant Logic’s RadiantOne VDS.

Todd’s talk is scheduled for the Friday session @11am. If you’re going to be at the conference, please do take a moment to introduce yourself!

I’ve been really annoyed with my newspaper delivery guy lately. You see, our previous delivery guy used to have our papers in the driveway each morning by 6am at the very latest, and would normally deliver between 5-5:30am. Since I normally wake up with my daughters, I appreciated having the papers there to read with my morning coffee (or at least glance at as I’m making breakfast for them and wiping spilled orange juice off the floor). When I heard we were getting a new delivery person, I assumed the early deliver trend would continue. I was wrong- the new guy is fortunate to have the papers here by 7am, and has delivered past 8am at least twice!

When I vented to my friends about the late delivery time, the most common response I received was “you still read the newspaper?”. They couldn’t imagine paying a subscription and delivery fee for something that was freely available online. Personally, I enjoy having a physical newspaper in my hands as opposed to sitting at the breakfast table with a laptop nearby, and I can’t ever imagine this changing. I was feeling like a dinosaur until I read this article:

New Study: Kids Age 5-17 Believe Technology Will Supplement — Not Replace — Book Reading and Say They Will Always Want to Read Books Printed on Paper

I know the print media has its own unique issues to deal with while competing against all the “instant news” sources out there on the web, but at least it appears printed books will be here to stay. This way I won’t ever have to worry about dropping my Kindle in the sand at the beach.

In case you missed it, I found this TechCrunch entry and its subsequent comments quite interesting. I’ll admit I had to read the comments a couple of times before I could distinguish Scoble’s point of view from Arrington’s. In the end, the only thing I’m certain of is that those two love to argue!

Here is a description of the changes we released yesterday. In general, the goal with this release was to better accommodate users who want to track kids of family and friends but are not parents themselves.

• For non-parents, the ‘I Have Kids’ profile box on a user’s Facebook profile page no longer appears. These users can now have the app installed (and access the app via the ‘I Have Kids’ link in the Applications list on the left) without any reference to ‘I Have Kids’ on their profile page.

• For non-parents, their ‘I Have Kids’ homepage is the Friends’ Kids page. Also, non-parents will see the Kids Birthday feature (which normally appears on a user’s My Kids page) on this Friends’ Kids page.
