Sue Decker has a confession to make

Monday, November 20th, 2006

Up and coming rising star a Yahoo actually got a deal done.  Lots of folks are talking about it, but more significantly Sue blogged about it - herself.
Seems that she gets it.  She’s probably been reading Robert Scoble and Shel Israel’s book.
Congrats Sue for having a clue.

Fascinating analysis of Yahoo. 
Yahoo! COO Dan Rosenzweig has embraced the memo–sort of.  Specifically, he has assembled a task force to look into Garlinghouse’s observations “over two months.”  Given that most of the complaints/recommendations can be grasped in 0.2 seconds, this two-month-rumination period seems an example of exactly what Garlinghouse is complaining about.  It is also [...]

Good morning campers - it’s almost Turkey Day and the end of the year

Me - I’m about to embark on (what is turning into) my yearly beginning of December trip.  So I had to go get additional pages for my Passport and then I’ll be able to get my Indian VISA. Ballmer and [...]

David Munns still CEO of EMI

Friday, November 17th, 2006

I awoke this morning to find that David Munns is still the CEO of EMI. Or at least his resignation or firing hasn’t made it to the airwaves - yet.
Cause of the three folks I asked questions of - at Web 2.0 - two of them have been fired or quit in the past 24 [...]

Clarifying dabble

Friday, November 17th, 2006

So Dave Winer wrote up something which misunderstood dabble, calling it similar to Flickr.  Then Mary Hodder corrected him and Susan Mernit chimed in.
Now its my turn!
In her conslusion Mary wanted everyone to know that dabble was about Video search. I gotta tell yah that surprised me.  I have thought of dabble as a new [...]

End of the week before Turkey Day links

Well at least Judith is staying at AOL.
Facebook has added some coolio new functionality to it’s News Feed feature.
Google adds Events search.  This is what the microformats people have been dreaming of.  But I still think subscriptions and feeds are ALSO an important way to get event information - not just scraping pages.  IMHO.
HBO and [...]

What kind of mashup we talking about here?

Friday, November 17th, 2006

Liz Gannes (daughter of my old buddy Stu) has a followup post to the WidgetsLive conference (put on by her boss - Om Malik) where she talks about 30Boxes new mashup capabilities and effect of utlizing time as an aspect of a mashup.
Liz then goes onto say “that’s what PeopleAggregator does - right?”
Well Liz is [...]
