We're down to the last moments of the week, and we still haven't gotten in our weekly mention of, and link to, Marqui. That's the "communications management" software developer who's paying us to mention and link to it once a week for three months, and so it's time to get right on that before we turn into a pumpkin. Here. Whew.

There's not too much new to report on the Marqui front this week. This is the halfway point of our initial three-month blogger shill contract; that hardly seems newsworthy. But by the end of next week, we may have something much more interesting to talk about. Yesterday Marqui announced that its "dabble mode" is up, and it's ready to let a set number of prospective customers try out its service for free. I've requested a user ID and password so that I can give it a whirl, and I'll be posting here about my experience as a "dabbler" as soon as I've racked up some mileage in that capacity.

If you'd like to try it out yourself, just send an e-mail message here with your request. And if you do dabble, please let me know how it went.
