iPhones and the Gesture Revolution
I … had a mini-eureka moment [thinking about the commonality among popular iPhone applications vs. other mobile applications]. When the application happens to be a verb phrase - I want to [Google, Wikipedia, eBay, Twitter, Flickr, etc.] something - the iPhone does a masterful job handling atomic tasks. Now, if Salesforce, or even the Bloomberg application (which admittedly, they are...

$MSFT /FAIL?
bryc3:
in a demo and noticing that I haven’t seen any MSFT icons in the app tray of entrepreneurs under 30 yrs. old for quite a while.
This is a very interesting insight on two intuitive accounts. It presupposes that nearly every entrepreneur under 30 is using Mac rather than PC. However, it also shows a lack of deep experience with Excel, quite possibly the best rapid development tool for...
Your Flowing Data Is Clogged
I wish your.flowingdata.com were a bit more unstructured and “open” in terms of usage. I’d love to be able to create my own command dictionary of the form: d yfd NAME VALUE [TIME] Time should be optional. If I don’t include it, it uses my tweet time. Here’s the kicker on how a service like this gets PAID. The web interface is free, but users pay to create...

Everything is Negotiable
I love (and live) this one, and have ever since I was a child. My father took unique pleasure in every opportunity to prove to me that everything in life is negotiable. He is an expert salesman and marketer who would show me, half for amusement and half for educational purposes, that you could outsell any seller. The hardest part is initiating a negotiation where there is no appearance of...

Ambition vs. Leadership
I’ve never been, nor will I ever aspire to being ambitious. As I see it, ambition is externalizing your raison d’être, allowing the forces of hubris, greed, vanity, and celebrity to dictate why you do things. Like cheating, there is an inherent cowardice to ambition. It’s an admission that I would rather see myself through the world’s eyes than reckon with designing my own self-image. ...

Incentives Dictate Behavior
This truism is as obvious as it is overlooked. It never surprises me whenever I see people who are sold A but actually receive B. Before buying into any good, service, or idea, look at the seller’s incentive structure first, and only after careful examination of the motivations, consider the pitch. There is a level of misdirection used in many pitches that makes them akin to magic. However,...

When I saw this comment in the mornings New York Times I almost puked. I hate this comment and all of the ideas that form it. Marissa, just remember how many “good students” ran the investment banks…
