Inspired by yahoo

In an attempt to revamp the yahoo and to come at the level of google, yahoo has improved the features. But the thing is they, do things pretty late which takes away the market from them. Had they taken initiative before google, they could have been a leading web portal in the world and richest company too, and their share prices in 100's of $  like Google's 342$ per share, in place of current value of  around 12$. But one thing they are still top on, that's the web cam feature in there messenger. Google probably still struggling to get it done.

But thing I like about Yahoo, they do learn from mistake and they never take back step whatever may be the condition is. 

Declining Microsoft hostile bid, in spite of crisis running in the company need a hell lot of courage. People may say the aftermath of declining the offer was devastating for yahoo, but the same rule hit hard Microsoft too. And MS attempt to topple the board of directors gone in vein due to strong hold of Yang and Filo.  

And improving on features, on mail, messenger, personal after taking lesson from GOOGLE success is another learning. 

Hope yahoo will achieve its lost glory again. :-)

Crossed finger Vs Luck!!!

I wish I could have added one more item in my resolution list, and that is, to make promise to update the blog regularly and break it always. At least this would have saved me from guilt feeling of not working on my blog page and would have also added something in my achievement list. Achievement of  making Routine/Plan which I followed with heart and soul. ;-)

Coming on topic, I use to hear this a lot while waiting for something good "Keep your finger crossed". Always wondered the correlation between the twisted finger and luck. If I take this as a fact then it means those with naturally twisted(abnormal) fingers are luckiest lot. Which I doubt is the case. So why this? Human is a very strange species and usually come up with strange ideas for every moment. Lots of unanswered behaviour. BTW if crossed finger would have brought luck I would have had tied all my fingers in crossed form with string, so as never to fail in luck game because for me hard work is not found in dictionary. :D

P.S.:- Surprisingly got a call from SP Jain over my educational profile, which gave a boost to my confidence as I never thought my profile has the spark. Hope crossed finger will bring luck, else I am still going with my resolution. ;-)
