connection between youtube v. everyone and internet recruiting? hell if i know!
I’m at a loss. By now, the world is more than aware of the current battle royale that is Google/YouTube vs., well, just about everyone else. I won’t rehash the details, but I do have a 200-level bleacher seat and a cold one, ready to enjoy the action. As with many posts, I try to take the [...]

21. March 2007
If you’re considering a social networking start-up, you might want to read a New York Times article entitled, “Popularity Might Not Be Enough.” (registration required) That is, rather than seek venture financing and hire a staff, it may be better for one or two people to create a relatively simple site — say, a hobbyist blog [...]

19. March 2007
Would you rather be remarkable, or have kickass search rankings? I recently finished the book Zag, which regurgitates the now-traditional marketing-speak of differentiation and being remarkable as the keys to success. Frankly, I can’t debate the benefits of those two virtues, but while reading, I kept asking myself: Does remarkable really matter when you have Google on [...]
