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.
While talking to some very smart web developers last night, we started talking about the .mobi extension and all of its possibilities. Turns out, there are lots of them. It also made me realize how important networking is for learning new things, and exploring new ideas. Had I not been networking, I would never have known that mobile phones are going to start automatically adding .mobi after you type in a url in their wap browsers. That means you’ll be able to type in cnn, and hit enter, and it will first fetch cnn.mo ... Continue reading
I've started writing on my manila pad every morning the top 10 things i want to get done today, blogging is never on there, but I think its a good thing to take care of too. So my suggestion to everyone reading this, print out a task list. Put 10-15 things on it. Try and get 40-50% of those things done every day. At the end of the day, scratch off the completed ones, and write a new task list for the next morning. Try this for a week, see if you get more stuff done, if you do, then make your next week's goal to do 50-60% of the tasks each day. Sooner or later you'll have a lot of free time on your hands, and when that happens, get yourself a drink, and head to the ... Continue reading
