How Zappos creates a ‘culture of happiness’

CFO Alfred Lin explains why allowing employees to blog helps create a culture of transparency.

Old media are trying

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:19:55 -0700

- These are crazy times. Electronic media devices get cheaper and more common every day, and newspapers are hurting. Magazines are doing kind of OK, but they’re worried. But I have to hand it to them. Folks working in print publishing today are still some of the smartest cats you will meet at a cocktail party. And they’re trying, God love ‘em, they’re trying. Even as I scan my Tumblr dashboard and anticipate how it will look on an iPad, there they are. The Economist, the Atlantic, Newsweek –– some of the print publications I respect most highly — they’re out there, bumbling and Tumbling, and trying to figure out the next phase in media. How to stay relevant on screens instead of paper.

Hang in there guys. We need you in the digital era more than you know.

In 2010 I have to use 2 remotes with 54 and 47 buttons each just to turn on the TV, change the channel, and turn up the volume. Wow. Technology is incredible.

All of this content we’re creating in the Web 2.0 appears to be free, and without limits. 140 characters is a cute idea, but now we’ve hit 20 billion tweets, and it’s a lot of text. What’s the cost of having all that information lying around, fighting not just for storage space, not just for eyeballs, but for space in our minds? What if you had 20 billion pieces of junk mail, but only 100 important letters? We may very well drown ourselves in our own content - tweeting and retweeting sandwich recipes, other people’s news, and idle musings.

Facebook adds location checkins and tagging

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 15:46:15 -0700

So the new Facebook iPhone application adds location check-ins as featured functionality. The trend of Foursquare, Gowalla, Yelp and Loopt has caught up to the world’s favorite social media network, and it is sure to be a hit.

I quit using Foursquare a few months ago after realizing how obsessive-compulsive the act of “checking in” quickly becomes as yet another time-waster. Plus, being the “mayor” of your local grocery store is just lame.

The interesting twist Facebook added to check-ins is this: they combined the handy tag-your-friends-in-your-photos function right into the check-in app (the same one that made party photos so potentially incriminating). You can check in at a bar, and tag all your Facebook friends who are there with you.

What? You don’t care about Facebook’s new check-in feature? Doesn’t matter. Your friends will take care of it for you. When you’re at Voodoo Doughnut at 3am on a school night, watch your friends pull out their iPhones and “tag” your location for you.

This will be fun…

“Etiquette is not just about which fork to use. Or rather, it is — but now it’s fork, fork, cellphone; the vibration of which signals the end of the Enlightenment. Because it signals the end of the individual as we know it.”
