By Zoli Erdos on November 5, 2010

In the 90’s I used to laugh at friends who all used Yahoo! as their personal email service. I did not understand how anyone could put up with the slow speeds of web-mail, and tried to convince them to install a decent email client, like Outlook, which is what most of them used in their […]

By Mark Suster on May 14, 2010

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it takes to be a great leader and seem to be having this conversation a lot lately about Facebook, Yahoo!, Zynga and others.  I wrote several of the characteristics when I did the Top 10 (11) Attributes of an Entrepreneur.  One thing that I’ve realized over the years […]

With Google Checkout that might be one way to get the lagging payment system by Google […]

Gmail Migration Tools Attack Inertia

Gmail Migration Tools Attack Inertia

By Zoli Erdos on May 14, 2009

A few years ago a software recruiter told me how he deleted job applications sent from a Hotmail account: after all, how could an applicant claim to be technology-savvy and still be using hotmail?  Seriously.  While Yahoo was by far not as bad as Hotmail, there was a stigma attached to using the free webmail […]

Resistance is Futile: Google is Unstoppable

By Zoli Erdos on February 11, 2009

Two seemingly unrelated items: Today Hitwise reported on how Google Maps is catching up on Mapquest, which once was the king of online mapping.   Perhaps more important than just the numbers is the source of traffic:  61% of Google Maps traffic comes from links placed in organic Google Search results.  Contrast that to Mapquest, […]
