Friday round up: recent thoughts and observations
The key to success in business is this: you must always move forward. Everyday you must make forward progress. If you have too many days where you take two steps back instead of two steps forward then you’re done!
You must find a way to measure and track results and then you must improve on those results. You really can’t know if you’re taking two steps forward if you’re not tracking results.Â
Keep your overhead low and your pipe full.
Facebook is turning into the new classmates.com. Someone I graduated with back in 92 set up a Facebook group for our class. So far about 40 Tigers and Tigerettes have joined but I’ll bet it gets big over the next year.
I think Calacanis’ observation on Twitter and Friendfeed is right on: Twitter’s milkshake meet Friendfeed’s straw.
My favorite new blog.
Congress -Â controlled by the Democratic Party - is awesome! So awesome in fact that they recently dipped into single digit approval rating. Not even the President has that bad of an approval rating. Vote Democratic Party for “change”!
I hope my wife finally has the baby this weekend. I can’t take the suspense any longer!
I find it interesting you rag on Twitter but you like FriendFeed? People are sick of Twitter’s uptime. Personally, FriendFeed smells of uber geekness. I haven’t figured out the benefit for me. Just more to read and more to “converse” with.

Where did I say that I like Friendfeed? I only said that I agree with Jason. Don’t you mean people are sick of Twitter’s downtime? Also, I find it hard to believe that prolific twitter users wouldn’t see the benefits of Friendfeed over Twitter.
Left by Chris Knudsen on 07/15/2008You’re correct. I meant downtime (or lack of uptime). FriendFeed’s comment rollup certainly keeps the conversation inside a subject. Good for those that have more than “what are you doing right now” content.
