Friendly advice: Do not go to the bathroom inside Silicon Valley tech companies buildings starting Tuesday May 20th 2008. Something stinks. Until the Service Employees International Union Local 1877 workers come to an agreement in Silicon Valley, janitors strike back with dirty toilets for Yahoo, Cisco, HP, and more.
Amazon post your Kindle sales numbers! Consumers, analysts, amateurs, and industry followers keep hearing the hype from Amazon about their electronic book reader and here at Fly Flop Fold we see the bad moon arising.
Amazon seems to be taking a page from the Apple, Inc. business cookbook (beginners edition):
- Create Product
- Build Hype
- Sell Product
- Announce Shortage
This Reuters headline "New Yahoo tool gathers favorite Web places on mobiles" sounds like a restaurant in need of attention that announces "Hey look! We now serve two eggs and toast, we call it: 2 Eggs and Toast!" Can Yahoo be any more unoriginal or sound any more desperate for press right now?
Will you Digg or will you Yahoo Buzz, or both? We visited Yahoo Buzz today after the announcement to see if there is really an alternative to Digg.
I don't want to tease you into reading this one, so let me be honest and say that it says something about a company with a brand like Yahoo when they announce a product or press release and a headline like Fish and Animals Can Count! is more popular on social ranking sites.
A 73-year-old man may mark the beginning of the end for eBay and the choke-hold grip they own in online auctioneering.
We have watched the unfolding of former greats like Sony to Apple, Inc., AOL to high-speed (insert any company), and recently Yahoo to Google. We are watching the unfolding of current greats like Microsoft to Apple, Inc. & Google, Comcast to Verizon, and Wal-Mart to Target.
