You may not think that your website, your blog, your freelance business, is something you need to think about in your last will and testament, but it is. It’s an asset you own, and it needs to be sold, dissolved, or left to someone you trust to continue running it.

Otherwise everything just sits there in virtual space, lost and forgotten, collecting dust.

Google Buzz "Follow up"

Man, things are moving fast for Google Buzz!
In 4 days people has created buttons, Browser plugins, and now this - A nice looking desktop client based on Adobe AIR.

Unfortunately, the only cool thing about it, is the interface. GBD (Google Buzz Desktop) emulates the iPhone so it is like having the mobile version on your desktop. The client updated every 2 minutes, but without notifications it's quite useless. Also, there's no geolocation support - so basically you can do the same and more from your Gmail.

Here are some screenshots - If you wish to try it yourself, click here to download.

Work Like You Own It!

During my several years of experience and the diverse jobs that I did, I have always been the kind of person who can not deliver his best potential unless I feel working for myself, in other words I own the business.

In my today's job I get to meet different people from all kind of positions. My job - being mentored by my Boss who's an excellent design thinking woman - puts me in touch with Hoteliors, to know their strategy, their business, the way they breath, how they act, they react, they treat their guests, they present and develop their products and businesses. My job consists in getting to feel my customers and find the way and the words to embed their  thoughts, their feelings, and even their spirit to their site.

In my last meeting, I had a wonderful chance to meet another excellent open minded women, Director of Marketing of a huge property, an operation of several hundreds rooms and personnel, who thought of making a categoric change in her operation by implementing an internal (personnel) and external (guests) independent spirit. She understood and she felt that today's business can not succeed if her teams do not have the "self belonging spirit". They do not assist her, they do not work for her, they are independant people working in an independant environment. All ideas are welcomed, discussed, debated and adapted...or not.

This beautiful place has been transformed into a magical one, as soon as you get there, the whole atmosphere seems to be so independant, so much, that you can not feel other than being home, as independant as you could be at your place.

Working like you own it means that you take pride in your work, and will never allow yourself to give anything less than excellence every time.

What if we all try to live this spirit in our companies by implementing the independance attitude...
