The online presence of Zohar Manor-Abel
-->It seems that the big 4 [Microsoft, Intel, Google, IBM] are suffering from an overload of internal internet usage.
People are not working — they are emailing, twittering, facebooking, and googling, while at work — and the big information conglomerates are in need to do something about it.
Now these companies that created the big information beast will find ways to sell their solutions to other companies. Smart asses.

Yahoo and arch rival Google said on Thursday they had entered a non-exclusive partnership on search advertising expected to add as much as $800 million in annual revenue.
This deal will give Yahoo! some money to breathe and will take Microsoft off their back. The real reason behind it is to give Yahoo! a bit more time to find a better partner and learn about my idea.
In short: Adobe and Yahoo! should strike a winning deal.
[I probably need to write a better proposal... now that time is on our side]
** Update **
Incremental Blogger suggests that “Yahoo should acquire AllTop.com along with Guy Kawasaki“.
This is not a bad idea in its own right - directories are part of the DNA of Yahoo and Kawasaki does twits everyone with his AllTop evangelism. Advertising is maybe an answer, but its not the future. It could help Yahoo momentarily [like the Google donation], but it wouldn’t make it different and kicking.
We need something bigger here, something futuristic, something that will take Yahoo out of the miseries of Web 2.0 and into Web 3.0 [I'm afraid that Web 3.0 is going to be like World War III, but that's a different post].
Adobe, with their technological control over the future of the market, and with their stronghold of holding creative people in the balls, can trigger that move, and hey - every company in the world uses Adobe products. It will give Yahoo the leverage they need, and a lot of it.
To my original post - Adobe + Yahoo = Web 3.0
Can someone please introduce this idea to both of the above companies?
Yesterday the news brought back the soap story of Yahoo vs “Big Company”, and I’ve had an idea.
I like Yahoo! I like Adobe!
I think it’ll be a good idea if they’ll join hands and merge (or whatever companies do).
Two days ago Adobe released their news Media Player. Few weeks ago they’ve released Adobe Photoshop Express.
Wouldn’t it be just great if Flickr and Photoshop would live together?
It’ll be a lot better then Flickr and Microsoft Expression…
I started working as an intern for a creative agency lately. It’s great and I love the experience.
I have only one problem - I’m working on a PC again.
I didn’t miss it.
For instance, the simplest thing: adding another keyboard language to the OS.
I have the permissions to do it, but Hebrew doesn’t exist on that system, I probably need the special Middle Eastern version.
On Apple’s OS X, it comes as standard. I can be anywhere in the world and I’ll be able to write in Hebrew.
Ridiculous.
Yesterday Firefox 2.0 was released. I think it is a moment to celebrate the take over Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Even if it is a way to make Microsoft update IE in a “satisfying” way.
With IE 7.0 out, it is going to be harder to make people appreciate the other browsers.
Within the last week, two new browsers have been released. The good news is that both browsers have seen some significant enhancements in three key areas: user experience, security and web standards. The bad news is that one browser still has better features and standards support than the other.
It is so hard to transform a netuser who just surfs. Most people just use the software that comes with their PC/Mac. For Mac its OK. Safari is a great companion.
But IE… I just hate Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. For web-designer it’s the worst thing that could ever happened. Nothing works correctly with it while with all the other browsers the design will work just fine. Most people don’t know the behind the scenes of creating web pages. It’s a big headache - esspecially when you need to twick the design to fit the different browsers.
“Every other browser renders correctly”
So true. This is a detailed story from a designer’s perspective.
With my website, for the moment, I don’t care about Microsoft, IE, or their users. I will recommend to Transform! My website will look nicer on Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc. and your satisfaction will be priceless…
