Intéressantes remarques chez Hugh McLeod/ GapingVoid :

[…] The recent Microsoft offer […] is not just about "Search" and "Taking on Google". Like I told Dave Winer […] "The thing that might save MSFT long-term is a massive infusion of Silicon Valley DNA. That’s why I think they’re offering Yahoo the $40billion."

All companies, no matter what the size, have a their own, unique cocktail of four different forms of capital- Financial, Intellectual, Technical and Cultural. Microsoft is relatively fine with the first three. But in the next few years, it’s with Number Four that the really BIG problems AND BIG opportunities will show themselves. [c’est moi qui souligne]

 Deux idées à creuser, isn’t it?

Excellent post chez Tim Ferris (je n’ai pas lu son livre; je suis sûr que je devrais) sur : comment contrôler notre addiction à /le volume de mails que nous traitons chaque jour : [un résumé]

1. “Batch” email at set times.

2. Send and read email at different times.

3. Don’t scan email if you can’t immediately fix problems encountered.?

4. Don’t BIF people during off-hours..

5. Don’t use the inbox for reminders or as a to-do list.

6. Set rules for email-to-phone escalation.

7. Before writing an email, ask yourself: “what problem am I trying to solve?” or “what is my ideal outcome?”

8. Learn to make suggestions instead of asking questions.

A lire et à méditer… et je fais un bon nombre des erreurs qu’il critique!
