]]> Comment on why I like facebook by Brent Ozar http://coachboz.wordpress.com/2009/09/15/why-i-like-facebook/#comment-446 Brent Ozar Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:29:40 +0000 http://coachboz.wordpress.com/?p=270#comment-446 It's funny - when I first started using it, I thought, "This will be great for planning the high school reunion! We can all get together and pick locations and catch up and so on." Now, it's *replaced* the reunion. People aren't interested in picking coordinated dates and events - we can just catch up all the time on Facebook and have small meetups whenever it's convenient.

I wish it was a simple formula, but there are so many dynamics in the ecosystem that you have to be thoughtful... but not too thoughful. There are no canned answers. Very true.

]]> Comment on A good idea for one … not many? by Kevin Kline http://coachboz.wordpress.com/2008/12/11/a-good-idea-for-one-not-many/#comment-360 Kevin Kline Sat, 13 Dec 2008 04:02:19 +0000 http://coachboz.wordpress.com/?p=237#comment-360 I've had a similar pet peeve with this for many years. I've called the ritual of opening a magazine and removing all the extraneous material, except for one slip of paper to use as a bookmark, "deboning" because it reminds me so much of the arduous but crucial activity after fishing. And as you point out, Billy, I never pay attention to the marketing material itself. I’ve had a similar pet peeve with this for many years.

Sir Alex Ferguson, who has been 'coach' of Manchester United for over 25 years has a track record of firing any 'star' who starts to think they are bigger than the team. Every time he fires them, whether it's David Beckham, Ruud VanNistelroy, Roy Keane, or countless others, the pundits always come out with the same refrain 'what a mistake; they'll never win anything ever again', but guess what, he brings in new players, grooms them, and they win again.
