- Innovation, at least for innovation's sake, is useless. Despite the protests that "innovation is key", it really, really is useless. It won't make your business, it won't keep it afloat, it won't save it and it won't grow it. I had been reading the article over at FastCompany on Friday. Then I saw it again this morning via Oliver. |

Go it Alone (Jan 12 2004 14:58 GMT) - One of the textbook examples of a network effect is the ATM network. The more ATMs in your network the more value your customers will perceive in opening a bank account with your bank. All else being equal customers will pick a bank with a larger network of free ATMs. For very small banks, those with only a hand full of offices, this became a serious competitive problem about a decade ago. To solve the problem these banks formed branded ATM networks. |

- For the past year or so, we've been searching for "the perfect" house (for us) in Austin. And, two months ago we found it with the help of our realtor. Today at 10:00 am, we're signing all of the final closing paperwork, and the house shall be ours. I've debated putting up a "how to buy a house in Austin" guide because I felt like Zawodny's doing pretty much the same thing, and I didn't want to look like a copy cat, but at the same time, this is the second house I've bought, having built one a few years ago. |
