Yahoo belatedly says it will sell, not kill, Delicious | Financial Times Tech Blog: Industry analysis | FT.com
http://blogs.ft.com/techblog/2010/12/yahoo-belatedly-says-it-will-sell-not-kill-delicious-off/After giving millions of users a good 24 hours to express their anger and frustration at wide reports of a plan to kill off web bookmarking service Delicious, Yahoo got around to explaining that there was no need to panic. A leaked internal presentation had showed on Thursday that Yahoo was planning to “sunset” some services, including Delicious, and Yahoo statements to the press that it was “cutting our investment in underperforming or off-strategy products” encouraged the idea that this meant Delicious was doomed.On Friday, Yahoo said something new: “We are not shutting down Delicious. While we have determined that there is not a strategic fit at Yahoo, we believe there is a ideal home for Delicious outside of the company”, officials wrote on Friday on the Delicious home blog. The service will stay up as Yahoo talks to potential buyers. Perhaps the company changed plans after a torrent of criticism.

The secrets of Malcolm Gladwell | Gideon Rachman's Blog | FT.com
Gladwell is a semi-huckster. In his writing, he's not giving you what you think he is (original insights). Instead, it's gee whiz anecdotes with theories (the kind you want to hear) often not really supported by the anecdotes. In this way, he's not that different from the author of The Secret. Sounds like his speaking is similar. 'Second, he tells stories - there are theories attached to the stories - but the bulk of the talk is made up of charming anecdotes to illustrate rather simple themes. Gladwell was talking about what makes successful people, and essentially his argument seemed to boil down to two rather old ideas: “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again” and “perspiration matters more than inspiration”...Coincidentally or not, these messages about the value of perverserance and hard work, and the chances of doing your best work late in life (Cezanne, apparently) are just the kind of thing that might cheer up an audience of jaded, middle-aged businessmen.'
