Yahoo!’s Bangalore Office on MG Road Originally uploaded by sgatz. One of the perks of my new job is working with an amazing team of developers that live and work in Bangalore, India. So, for the first time ever, I’ve traveled to Asia, I stopped in Singapore and I’m now in Bangalore. Yahoo has a […]
Two weeks ago, as part of my “Living the Customer” post, I promised that I’d be talking about how search engine optimization sucks (from the perspective of the small website owner). As fate would have it, Jeff Weiner, SVP of Search at Yahoo! just spoke at PC Forum and gave the perfect quote: “Search is […]

People in traditional email marketing businesses are asking how they can deliver “One-to-one marketing” via RSS – that is, how can they track and target individuals […]
This week is the Syndicate Conference in San Francisco. When I went to the first Syndicate in May in NYC, I was floored at the idea that there would even be a whole conference dedicated to content syndication/RSS. When we started working on RSS here, Dave Winer had just launched RSS 2.0 we weren’t sure […]
