Sometimes video truly is better than any written explanation. Web 2.0 Expo this year was kicked off with a video by Michael Wesch, an Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University. It really needs no explanation but to summarize it shows the true value and power that the web, and more [...]

- More Patent Nonsense March 1, 2010Good find Aviah. I wonder, did Twitter patent "follow"?Read more comments by Lou Paglia […]
- Should Apple be more open? January 29, 2010Ron: That is the one area where I agree. The competitive rejections are ones I question. I can see why they do it but I don't like it, it spurns the spirit of innovation.Chris: Overall, I agree with you. What core apps (when you set aside open principles) are we missing? It is a good question. The one thing I would say is that there is an element […]
- The Lights in the Tunnel January 5, 2010Sounds pretty far fetched that we could develop a system to overcome a 75% unemployment rate even with stratospheric government subsidy, simply because I don"t see human nature of "wanting more" changing at the needed magnitude. The first thought that came to me reading this post is that Ford and Ayn Rand should go bowling together. Would be q […]

- The HR Acquisition December 4, 2009It would seem this really works in two scenarios. First, where you have a good team but the business is not going to go. Second, and related, when 3.5% of the other company is going to be bigger than the total of your own.Read more comments by Lou Paglia […]
- The HR Acquisition December 4, 2009How does the assets and the revenues of the company you are acquiring factor in? I would suspect the normal way but how to deal with multiples on revenues and the like become interesting particularly if you don't plan on continuing to leverage their existing line of business?Read more comments by Lou Paglia […]
- The Art of the Email Intro December 3, 2009Great post Raanan. I will admit, I think have sent my share of 'intro' subject line headers. I will try to refrain from doing that in the future.The one that made me laugh is the one where you are kept on the thread after the intro is made. How come you are never kept on the thread when there is something "really" compelling being discu […]
- My LinkedIn Avatar November 22, 2009Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Would be interested in hearing LinkedIn's rationale for this decision. Also surprised that this is the type of thing they are spending time (unless of course it has become an acknowledged pervasive problem for abuse).Read more comments by Lou Paglia […]
- The Power Of Instant Approval November 17, 2009I do not disagree from a logistics perspective. But Apple succeeds as an experience company and let's face it, they succeeded quite well by not always listening to users. While often not the right approach, it works for them. I can't deny that being more open is quite a change from their proven methods and DNA.Read more comments by Lou Paglia […]
- The Power Of Instant Approval November 16, 2009Does Amazon have "instant on" for all book submissions or only from reputable suppliers? This is the equivalent of letting anyone submit their own book to a Kindle ecosystem but in this case it is trickier because it is an app and actual code is runiing that could hose the device and device experience.Read more comments by Lou Paglia […]
