After reading Karel Baloun’s post on facebook over at mashable, one thing stuck out in my mind: Karel argues that yahoo doesn’t seem to tie its properties in together. He uses 360, flickr, upcoming, and delicious as examples where yahoo has failed to integrate the sites together, but what if they just aren’t there yet? Imagine the potential for anyone of their services if they tied upcoming into 360 (and actually pushed 360), or delicious and flickr? They have all these loosely related services which ultimately could be cross-sold dramatically. I would bet that most yahoo users don’t know about upcoming or delicious.
For those of you who are writing yahoo off already, i think we all need to reexamine yahoo’s properties and see how they can ultimately ramp up their page views dramatically. Not to mention the hordes of data they are collecting on everyone that can give them super targeted demographics which translates into big ad bucks.

So I changed the theme of the site again. This time its a variation of unsleepable which I will be modifying a bit more over the next few weeks. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with all my blogging being split across so many sites. Maybe I’ll just consolidate them all on one spot.
Anyway, stay tuned.
The other day I wrote about how i’ve been writing a todo list on a notebook every day, and then crossing things off as i go through them. Today I’d like to suggest some other ideas for productivity:
- Write todo items on scraps of paper and pull them out of a hat. Might not be the most efficient method, but hey, its random
- Take your to do list, look to see what would take 5 minutes or less, write those things down on a new sheet of paper, place new sheet on top, and do them all.
- Every time you eliminate 10-20% of your list, scratch them out, or write a new list that contains just the remaining things. This might seem inefficient, but who cares, you’re doing yourself a mental favor by tricking yourself into thinking there are that fewer number of things to do.
any suggestions?
