The Growing Rarity - 廖

Companies should really set aside some budget to come up with their own parodies. I think that would help their marketing campaigns better - just maybe some branding and red tape issues to overcome :(

Here's another one.

Just stumbled upon another subscription service - for GROCERIES. Socks, and groceries. I wonder what else I can subscribe to in future. Maybe I should set up a business to allow subscription to batteries - the one thing that pisses users of wireless technology off.

Wow... 188million views!!!

But I've gotta say he's got most of them SPOT ON!

Started the day by breaking the glass I was trying to fill water with.

Went through the day with no mishaps so far.

Let's hope tonight doesn't end with me taking an axe from somewhere and running around killing people with it.

$25 billion for the man Zuckerberg. One word - SICK.

When you need to put a team together, the secret to effective hiring lies in being able to NOT hire. Cultivating talent may be a better option. TechCrunch explains how in a few steps. The first one is shown below.

1. Would we be willing to do a startup with you?

This is the first question we ask ourselves as a team when we meet to evaluate a candidate. It sums up a number of key criteria:

• Time: If we’re willing to do a startup with you, we’re agreeing that we’d be willing to be locked in a small room with you for long periods of time. The ability to enjoy another person’s company is critical to being able to invest in each other’s growth.
• Trust: Can we trust you? Will we have to look over your shoulder to make sure you’re doing an A+ job? That may go without saying, but the reverse is also important: will you trust me? If you don’t trust me, we’re both in trouble.
• Communication: Can we communicate with each other quickly and efficiently? If we’re going to spend a tremendous amount of time together and if we need to trust each other, we’ll need to communicate. Over time, we should be able to anticipate each other’s needs in a way that allows us to be highly efficient.
