Three items which made it through my scan, click, read, close routine in the last 24 hours:
- Media: Mark Glaser probes media companies’ deep ambivalence about Yahoo. Make sure you read the first comment, where Glaser adds an after-deadline quote from Charlie Tillinghast of MSNBC.com. Tillinghast is the only one who comes right out and says, in essence, that news sites providing content to Yahoo are helping dig their own grave. I’ve never met Tillinghast, though we crossed email/phone paths back in the Snap.com days in 1998. (Hardly memorable exchange, but Tillinghast is a name you don’t confuse with others like, say, Roberts.) Now I really want to meet him.
- Media: Vin Crosbie sounds like Cassandra once more, doomed to be right but never believed (or maybe just not followed). But Vin, why no links to your earlier pieces on what should be done? Probably easier to link than repeat yourself.
- Management: Mike Kelly writes about making progress visible, and why that’s important both for the employee and the manager.
