SavvyGraph - Amazon should buy this!

Talking of Amazon (as I just did), Lifehacker posted today about SavvyGraph, a really fantastic way of easily identifying the most-popular and best-reviewed products in any product category. I love Amazon reviews (who doesn't?) and this site makes it ultra-easy to search and narrow product selection through them. Amazon should buy this software now, before Google does!

Props to Amazon!

So I caved and ordered a Wii on Saturday, using the free shipping options because I didn't care about getting it by Christmas. The scheduled delivery date was January 9th. Well, at around 7.30pm on the 24th a courier arrived at my door, delivering the Wii! This is incredible service from Amazon -- really going above and beyond to get a much-desired item to its destination in time for an important date. I am truly impressed. (I do feel bad, though, about getting it by Christmas when so many others care much more about that date than I. However, if people are/were smart, they'd sign up for wiialerts.com, which is how I found it in stock at Amazon in the first place.)

And, yes, the Wii is every bit as good as everyone's been raving about!

SugarCRM iSync integration - I'll pay for it!

Our company needs to move to a new CRM platform (from ACT! 6). It appears that SugarCRM is an excellent choice because it's feature-rich, open source, and integrates with Zimbra, which is our collaboration/calendaring/messaging server. However, there's no way to synchronize SugarCRM with Apple apps, and efforts to create such a method seem to have come to a standstill.

I'd definitely consider paying for the development of this solution, and then releasing the source to the community. Any takers? If so, leave a comment here.
