What is the difference between a business strategy and customers needs

2008-09-20T21:48:22+02:00

There are always different ways of presenting what you do on any business, what is your business but what amazes me the must is how easy to mistake your products with the goal of your business.

A hair dresser - the business is to not to cut hair (thats what they need to do) but to make people feel better by the fact that you cut their hairs - the feeling better is the most important thing, the why they come back

Amazon to name a good exemple for me - yes, they sell books and tons of other stuff but their business is not the products but making it easy to buy for people that don't want to go to physical stores, they are to some extent the catallogue sellers of the beginning of the century.

What other examples do you have?

Books that everyone should read

Reminder to me in case if forget they exist :

The Black Swan by Nassem Taleb (mathematics, philosophy, randomness...)

Google sites revenus are growing a lot slower that the revenues generated by sites using Adsense (4% against 22% between Q2 2007)

Google impact on the Portuguese language

2008-05-23T09:11:40+02:00

I'm shocked....

Everyone that speaks portuguese knows that there are differences between PT and BR language speakers but align because-in spite off - thanks to Google ?

Too weird :(

"Google, it could be said, conquered its first Romance language last week.

The Portuguese parliament voted last week to change its national language to reflect the more popular Brazilian Portuguese, the language used by about 80 percent of the world’s 230 million Portuguese speakers. In the next six years, European Portuguese will be phasing in three new consonants – k, w and y – and dropping confusing hyphens and silent consonants. So from now on, when you are IM-ing a Portuguese beauty, the correct style is otimo, not optimo, when she suggests meeting for a drink "

Heart of Google

2008-05-23T08:55:50+02:00

" The most famous part of our ranking algorithm is PageRank, an algorithm developed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who founded Google. PageRank is still in use today, but it is now a part of a much larger system. Other parts include language models (the ability to handle phrases, synonyms, diacritics, spelling mistakes, and so on), query models (it's not just the language, it's how people use it today), time models (some queries are best answered with a 30-minutes old page, and some are better answered with a page that stood the test of time), and personalized models (not all people want the same thing). "
