Technically Speaking

Good to see these Wesabe guys get some money. I remember when I first talked about them here, it seemed that everyone else on the web overlooked them. I think it was around the week before Thanksgiving.

Technically Speaking, I believe that Wesabe deserved a little boost.

Over on Techquila Shots. The original post was basically a question by Steve Poland over there. It’s basically “What do you have cookin’.” Of course I answered just now, 30 deep at this writing. If you have a startup, or thinking about one, or have a business that isn’t working out - post a comment over there. I’m sure Steve can give some advice; Technically Speaking we all do, right?

Known as my Link Blog a few moments ago. I saw another breaking news item by Allen over on Centernetworks. I said it this morning in the Wrap N’ Roll folks. It won’t be long before there is literally a social network for butt pickers!

Technically Speaking, I think I’ll just start it and we can all just then go say “Social Networking has reached it’s climax moment!”

Oh yeah, I was so distracted with Allen’s post, that I almost forgot to state it - Link Blog! It’s locked and loaded again. btw, I think that most of the readers have already picked up on the fact of the new feed for it as well as the feeds for GMAFB?

Comment blog to RD’s post  CIO’s and why they fail

RD, I’ll take your back on this one since your neck is ailing.

How many MBA’s does it take to screw a in light bulb?  None, their they are too busy blaming the light switch as being the problem the light is not coming on instead of dealing with the costs to replace the light bulb. 

Why do businesses pick up these people with 3 MBA’s, put them in CIO or even CEO positions and not groom someone who knows what the heck is going on in their business?

Well my chiropractic challenged friend, the answer to that question is somewhat political.

What would the colleges with those high salaried professors and the overheads to keep their football and basketball programs going do if there was no reason for kids to go to college?

What would happen if corporate America started training their own employees to be exactly what they wanted them to be and provide them with a better education than the colleges who have the high salaried professors and the egotistically robust athletic programs?

And how much pressure from these colleges do you think is being put on the leaders of corporate America to hire their graduates who pay the tens of thousands of dollars tuitions so they can continue pay those high salaried professors and send their football team to Hawaii to bust heads?

You know the answers to these questions..

That my friend is why these companies are hiring MBA’s by the dozen.  Now, like you said, I know some people who got their MBA while being groomed for a position…my hats off to them.  But for the professional students out there with the quarter of a million dollar student loans to the colleges went to, well, they need high salary jobs to pay for that loan…whether they know squat about the business they are working for or not..

And as far as the colleges who loaned them the money, they do not want them to default on their loans, so they have a stake in them getting hired at high salary positions so they can get their money back so they can hook another student into their programs.

Well, maybe it is time for a readjustment in the business world and follow what old RD has to say and look to the people who know how the business is run instead of hiring people who have READ how the business should be run…

I just received this from Justin of Cellblock. This sounds very promising, and it’s too bad that they are only on Windows. I hope to be using Ubuntu for a main laptop very soon. Well as soon as I can find one that is decent enough to use as my main business laptop.

Cellblock has just posted a breakthrough release, extending the scope of its real-time, collaborative mobile photo and video blogging widget to the desktop space.

With just a few clicks, anyone can download a cellblock to their desktop for viewing or to upload content.  To upload content, someone simply drags & drops photos and videos onto the desktop widget and it instantly
updates, everywhere - on every desktop and on every website it’s embedded.

Anyone can attach these Cellblock Desktop Widgets to emails - meaning you can now have a single 150K attachment that displays an unlimited amount of
photo and video content, streamed in real-time from cellblock.com.  This attachment acts as a dynamic content container, that is instantly updatable and never out of synch, no matter where it is being viewed or
when it was downloaded.

The applications for this are staggering.  You could imagine a company party, where everyone is taking photos and videos with their cell phones or digital cameras.  After the party, someone sends a cellblock around, as an attachment on the company mailing list.  Employees simply double click on the attachment (opening it on their desktop), then they drag and drop
their photos and videos into it and the entire company can see them, instantly.

This is a truly revolutionary concept and technology; please take a few minutes to check it out.
