Asymetrical Sales Acceleration
From the Nimble Theory Blog Sales Automation & Strategic Marketing. Take a look at this image contrasting convetional and irregular warfare strategies. If you swap 'Users' for Population and 'Management' for Military, it's a pretty good analogy of the way companies sell. Traditionally, companies have sold into management structures who have then pu

The Only Truly Failed Project
From the Coding Horror Blog
Do you remember Microsoft Bob? If you do, you probably remember it as an intensely marketed but laughable failure -- what some call the "number one flop" at Microsoft.
There's no question that Microsoft Bob was nothing short of an unmitigated disaster. But that's the funny thing about failures -- they often lead to later

All Programming is Web Programming
From the Coding Horror Blog
Michael Braude decries the popularity of web programming:
The reason most people want to program for the web is that they're not smart enough to do anything else. They don't understand compilers, concurrency, 3D or class inheritance. They haven't got a clue why I'd use an interface or an abstract class. They don't under

This is a change!
From the blog of Tim Scammell I was contacted by CTV to do an TV interview this afternoon.<br />I know what you're thinking.<br /><br />A) It's about the York Street Station<br />B) Tim's about to stir it up again in New Maryland Council <br /><br />You would be wrong on both counts. <br />Surprisingly, this is

Pay It Forward
From Will it Change You Blog A few years ago I watched Pay It Forward, a movie from the year 2000 based on the novel by Catherine Ryan Hyde. While the movie probably could have been improved upon in it’s delivery of the theme, the concept of paying it forward is really intriguing. The basic premise of the movie is as follows: An 11-year-old [...
