I'm sure the idea of Yahoo needing to acquire more social (read: human intelligence) is music to Calacanis's ears. Mahalo. Unfortunately, neither Jerry nor Jason has a chance ... Changing the game is one thing. Changing the search game vs Google is another. They're getting slower in terms of product development (took them ages to do a good universal search) and many of their portal projects have failed miserably, but deep down everybody knows that they've won more than the battle ... They've won the war. What's needed is a game-shifting company who can come along like Google did and make the same kind of entrepreneurial and ground-breaking progress. That company will never be Yahoo. And as for Mahalo, I've got one word for ya: Wikipedia. ~G~ 2007-06-19T21:43:27.797+02:00 2007-06-19T21:43:27.797+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=i-boy&conv=685623&comment_id=13498970 George Nimeh Duncan, It is still quite early in the adoption cycle, and it should come as no surprise that adoption is being led by a small, tech-savvy group of younger, media-driven enthusiasts and early-adopters. I find the fact that there are 31% of American adults who are considered to be "elite tech users" to be encouraging. Almost one third of US adults? Incredible. How some can think that this is not an incredibly encouraging number is beyond me. And what's with the Nintendo Wii comparison? Trying to make an argument related to a shift in the global tech market and user-adoption cycle by using the marketing tactics of a single product is a bit weird. Just my $0.02, ~G~ 2007-05-07T13:15:14.371+02:00 2007-05-07T13:15:14.371+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=i-boy&conv=232736&comment_id=2850422 George Nimeh To John Dowdell: You are mistaken and continue to post false information. Why do you continue to post false information about the WFWM press release here (and on your own blog a few days ago) when you *know* that the press release was issued 2 days AFTER the publication of the Business week story exposing Wal-Mart's fraud? If I didn't know better, I'd begin to wonder. You thinking about leaving San Jose for Bentonville? ~G~ 2006-10-18T20:59:00.530+02:00 2006-10-18T20:59:00.530+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=i-boy&conv=44786&comment_id=71910 George Nimeh Hi Bill, First time I've seen something like this, and it shows just how incredibly dominant search is to the rest of their products and services. Your excellent post got me thinking: Does Google suffer from Nimoy Syndrome? What do you think? ~G~ 2006-05-19T15:16:22.329+02:00 2006-05-19T15:16:22.329+02:00
