Are You a Developer? Do You Know Your History?

Posted on March 24th, 2009 by Tyme White in Business

When you go into a business venture it is important to begin the journey with the right frame of mind. Those that want to get rich quick usually do not succeed. Knowing the history of the community can give great insight on your odds of success for getting rich quick or getting rich off of another company’s IP.

Is better late than never really better?

People are finally waking up about Facebook. Sorry, too little, too late.
Why these people didn’t see this coming ages ago blows my mind. Seriously, I’m trying to wrap my brain around it. Once the ease, coolness, etc. is stripped away from Facebook and one takes a serious look at Facebook, it’s easy to see. There [...]

Stay on topic and that influential bloggers list is bunk

Posted on September 17th, 2007 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

I read the list. It starts off with Neil Patel at 50 and I had hope. I really did. By the time I got to #1 I was laughing at the ridiculousness of it. If you read the trackbacks and comments it’s pretty obvious the list is whacked. And let me disclaim – no, I [...]

Interesting observation

Posted on March 16th, 2005 by Tyme White in Miscellaneous

When AOL had their TOS issue, the word spread all over that the TOS was awful. People spoke up. The lash back was immediate. They changed the wording on the TOS, and all is silent. No “Yeah! They listened”. No sweep across the net that a change has been made.
What’s up with that?

If you use AIM…
