Nice Post on Negotiating
July 2nd, 2009ReadWriteWeb provides some great tips on negotation - Learn to Negotiate and Close. The gist of the post is to:
- Listen to understand what’s in it for them.
- Don’t waste your time on prospects or partners that don’t really need what you have to offer.
- It’s natural to be nervous as the deal’s about to be closed.
- Visualize success.
These are great tips for anyone wanting to get a deal done.
If you’re really serious about learning to negotiate, read Getting to Yes and Getting Past No. Both by William Ury of Harvard. You can pick them up at Amazon.

Web Apps I’m Using Lately, Part 2
June 28th, 2009Here’s what I was using in January 2007. Not a lot has changed. The major change is that I’m using a lot of these apps on my iPhone instead of a PC. Here’s the update.
- Flickr (new, much heavier usage these days, primarily on PC)
- Read It Later (new, I use it on my iPhone and PC)
- Google Maps (new, use as default on iPhone)
- AIM (new, use it on my iPhone only)
- Facebook (new, much heavier usage these days on both PC and iPhone)
- PB Wiki (new, prior wiki - Schtuff - was bought by PB Wiki, use on PC)
- Delicious (no change, primarily on PC)
- Google Personalized Home Page (no change, primarily on PC)
- Linkedin (no change, primarily on PC)
- Meebo (no change, use on PC only)
- Microsoft Outlook Web Access (no change, PC only)
- Wells Fargo Online Banking (no change, primarily on PC)
- WordPress through Yahoo Web Hosting (no change, primarily on PC)
- Yahoo Mail (no change, though also using on both PC and iPhone)
- Yahoo Maps (no change on PC)
Deletions from the list:
- Match.com and Yahoo Personals (I haven’t used any online dating apps in over a year.)
- Yahoo Briefcase (killed by Yahoo, I miss it)
One obvious omission from this list is Twitter. I don’t like Twitter. I don’t see the necessity to tweet everything I do or to see what everyone else is doing at all times. It seems like a waste of time. Anything good eventually ends up in the media, in someone’s blog, or on Facebook. I have the patience to wait for this to happen.
