Blame school, global warming or some random 3rd world country's political instability -- either way we've been gone too long. But with midterms, finals and other petty distractions behind us, we're back in action.
On the chopping block today there's a few interesting companies going on here:
Design By Humans. First off there's their deadpan catchphrase, "By Tees. Get Noticed. Be Human," they've got a rather closed off talent pool, unlike Zazzle. But all the same, their small pool ensures that they've got good talent. But they seem to have a good selection process through their contests to choose good designs. And let's not forget the increasingly popular: profit sharing schemes; promote Design by Humans and you get credits toward T-shirt purchases!
Hey Tim, from this article on TechCrunch, sounds like your people are catching up quite nicely! Search traffic up 47% over the year?? Not bad. I think we should have a discussion on what the heck Yahoo is doing. Microsoft has solid markets in place, i.e. (no pun intended) entertainment with the Xbox and Zune, and quite obviously its dominant OS. These divisions at least hold down the fort while Microsoft battles Google. Yahoo needs to be dominant in at least one thing it does.
To that effect I suggest a full-suite of Mobile Services. With the iPhone using Google Maps and obviously Windows Mobile using Live services, Yahoo needs to jump in on this. I'd say some more research is needed.
