We are moving 100 miles an hour on 5 different freeways, some times it is hard to keep up. I wanted to direct people a few places were we’ve been most active lately. This blog is a great starting point, so make sure you have us plugged into your reader, or you’ve signed up for our newsletter.

We use the Integral blog as a sandbox to explore our creative ideas as it relates our company’s products, services, and clients. Occasionally, we get inspiration that falls outside these guidelines. For those posts, check out www.mattbrowne.com. If you have comments or questions about or products, please check out our product forums.

If blogs move too slow for your hungry appetite of information, we’ve embraced Twitter for real time updates. The company can be found on Twitter at IntegralHQ and you can find our team at mattsurfs and abull.

If you are a local blogger, you’ll also be happy to know that we’ve started a MeetUp group and FriendFeed room for SDBloggers. This is a great place to market your blog articles and gain subscribers.

Last but not least, please connect with us on Facebook. We are working on getting a company page going, bare with us as we develop more of a presence.

Thanks and I look forward to seeing you ‘out and about’ online.

Despite the ribbing and ridicule that comes along with it, I am happy to admit that I’m a Wheel Watcher. I like puzzles, and mindless ones help me relax from a long day; even if I end up just trying to figure out how Vanna White hasn’t aged over the past 20 years.

Anyhow, my grandma tendencies sort of help to explain why it is that, when I hear people talk about “bankruptcy” of any kind, the first image that comes to mind is that big, black doomsday slice of the wheel. BANKRUPTCY - it’s a hearty dose of dumping your lode. You lose any of your earnings, vacations, and your turn, setting you back behind your opponents. No fun.

Bankruptcy often comes up in conversations (virtual or otherwise) about RSS feeds. You take a break from a few days of your feed reader and suddenly there are 786 unread posts for you to catch up on. With some sadness, you are met with the decision of investing time and resources into getting back in the loop, or declaring bankruptcy on your shiny, unopened, unread feed posts. How could you have prevented this?

Integral makes a product called Nouri.sh (http://nouri.sh/) that can help you avoid bankruptcy of this kind by delivering the feeds you want, when you want them, to your inbox. By aggregating these feeds into one email, you can stay in the one window of your inbox while getting the goodness of your choice of feeds in one convenient package. Just like Wheel of Fortune, you can take it one phrase at a time.

Even better, Nouri.sh can help you deliver the posts from YOUR RSS feed to people who also lack the time to keep up with another tab in their browser. You can set up Nouri.sh to deliver content from your blog, FriendFeed, Flickr, Digg—anything that you want to share with others. Then just set up a mailing list in Nouri.sh using the convenient interface provided, program the delivery of your emails, and—Voila!—you are helping to prevent your information from being a tossed away through feed reader bankruptcy. It’s almost like a free spin card! Who hasn’t wanted one of those?

Bankruptcy can happen to even the nicest, most connected individuals, so why not buy an ounce of prevention to save yourself a pound of trouble and Nouri.sh yourself and your customer with all those feeds?

Just don’t buy a vowel when you know it’s in the puzzle. Such a waste.
