Ebay Auctions Taskforce - Live Event - Podcast #18

eBay recently purchased Stumbleupon.com.

The purchase price is reportedly $75 million. Adding StumbleUpon to other Ebay offerings like PayPal and Skype could greatly impact how surfers use these platforms. From 2006 to 2007, StumbleUpon showed 150% Year over Year growth.

The platform engages users by allowing them to recommend online content. The more recommendations, the higher a website's content will rank in the listings. Users can also rank ads on the websites, giving advertisers an idea of how their ads appeal to the masses. The site boasts nearly 2.3 million users and 5 million daily recommendations.

"We think that joining eBay is the right thing to do to help us to grow StumbleUpon to its full potential. We think eBay is a great fit for us because eBay and StumbleUpon share similar approaches – we’re both driven by our community of users, and we are both dedicated to connecting people," mentioned the StumbleUpon blog.

Tim Knox and Scott Paton discuss how this could impact your eBay sales.

La Analogía de la Pelea de Gallos es un concepto que nos muestra los falsos roles que algunos líderes adoptan con tal de manipular y controlar a sus huestes, subordinados o subalternos. La adopción de esta perspectiva es una forma de visualizar cómo leer entre líneas antes de aceptar a ciegas las acciones que otros te mandan hacer, unas que pueden ser cuestionables y reprobables desde diversos puntos de vista.

Das ist heute eine sehr persönliche Episode – direkt aus dem Leben ins Micro. Wir alle haben mal depressive Stimmungen – das ist ja völlig normal. Wie gehe ich damit um? Warum sind diese Stimmungen wichtig für mich und wie komme ich da wieder raus?

Na, und! Dann scheint mir eben nicht die Sonne aus dem Popo.

Die ganze Welt ist ein Bühne – und wir spielen unsere Rollen. Die Rolle der Mutter, des Bruders, der Freundin, der Chefin, des Kollegen, der Kundin.... Im Drama-Dreieck von Steven Karpman, der die Transaktionsanalyse 1968 anwendungsorientiert interpretiert hat, gibt es nur drei Rollen: Der Verfolger, das Opfer und der Retter. Wir SIND diese Rollen nicht, wir spielen sie nur. Das hat fatale Folgen für die Kommunikation und zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen! So unterschiedlich die Rollen auch sind, so haben sie dennoch wichtige Gemeinsamkeiten. Sie sind alle nach außen gerichtet, haben das Bedürfnis nach Aufmerksamkeit und Anerkennung und versuchen gewissermaßen eine Angst zu kontrollieren. Dabei gibt es keine bessere oder schlechtere Rolle, sondern alle drei Rollen bedingen sich gegenseitig und können sich so richtig schön „hochschaukeln“. In dieser Episode erfährst du, wie du aus diesem Drama-Dreieck aussteigen kannst.

Raus aus dem Drama-Dreieck!

Ich weiß noch, wie ich heute vor 20 Jahren an einem kleinen Klapptisch unter dem Hochbett saß, auf meinen Bildschirm schaute und ein flaues Gefühl im Magen hatte, weil mir bewusst wurde, dass nur ICH selbst jetzt dafür verantwortlich war dafür, dass ich Aufträge bekomme und Geld auf mein Konto kommt.

Management

I remember seeing the Beatles' movie, Help! when I was a kid. Love the lyrics, which are so brilliant: 

(Help) I need somebody 
(Help) Not just anybody 
(Help) You know I need someone 
(Help) 

When I was younger, so much younger than today 
I never needed anybody's help in any way 
But now these days are gone 
I'm not so self assured 
Now I find I've changed my mind 
I've opened up the doors 

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down 
And I do appreciate you being 'round 
Help me get my feet back on the ground 
Won't you please, please help me 

I can almost hear the strains of this song on the phone when prospects call me to ask, sometimes convolutedly, for help ("I really don't need help, but if I did, what could you do for me?"). 

Where I see businesses get into trouble is knowing when to ask for information and when to pay for it. According to the SBA, businesses fail for several reasons, chief of which are lack of planning, capital and other resources. In this biz environment, operating without the key information needed is almost criminal, given the massive amounts of information available on the Net.

Michael Gerber, author of the The E-Myth Revisited, spoke of "working on your business, not in it," staying out of the tactical weeds and into the strategic mission and vision. To do this, Gerber spoke of the importance of creating systems that tied directly into those strategic aims. Burning daylight poring over website after website, looking for information defies our ability to be strategic and our ability to get the most out of our time. The Wild Hunt for information, particularly when you need it to be right and you need it right now, can be the greatest of all cul de sacs.

This week, we hear from Jim Patton of J Patton Consulting and his Prepaid Legal affiliation. What Jim offers is a business service that, for a monthly fee, allows members to pose real-life problems to legal, accounting and other professionals and get real life answers. One example he gave was the business owner who needed to let an employee go. That owner posted the question in the service and got back a checklist for terminations that allowed him to stay fair, square and legal.

LNB #053: Help! I Neede Someone!

This week, we cover ways to think your way through quitting. Knowing the answers to the key questions for your business or accountability, you can figure out pretty quickly what you should be saying "yes" or "no" to.

To remind you, in Seth Godin's book, The Dip, he describes three key conditions when we get stopped:

The dip: where the break in your action is so deep and wide that you can't move out of it with the resources you're expending. Kind of like the straight-A highschooler who never really had to expend herself...until she got a snootful of Calculus 115.

The cul de sac (or dead-end): staying here will keep you from doing
something that will work for you and it will never, ever change. His
suggestion? Get out as quickly as possible. Remember, the analogy of the kid on the Big Wheel? It was cute the first few times around, and then it never seemed to stop.

The cliff: you can keep this going for quite a while, but it runs out of gas and leaves you on the side of the road with no options. Kind of like smoking, that doesn't seem to really hurt anything--that is, until the doc gives you That Look, you know the one.

Be sure to grab a copy of this little book. I'll be chatting about it for a few more 'casts.

Leverage... 
Cutting edge... 
Scalable... 

...and the list goes on. When did our business communication stop being authentic and start being a frantic race to leverage robust world-class business intel that offers flexible, yet scalable, capabilities to help achieve (I really wanted to say "leverage" again) potential and future stakeholder value? 

Use language that is clear and check in to make sure that your intended meaning is coming across.

LNB #050: Gobbledygook (Biz Communications)

This is a short work week due to the Labor Day Holiday. People are slammed, trying to get work done and the children back to school...and everything else. Someone said their short week felt more like a punishment requiring them to work even longer hours. Conversations have turned to the mythic Work-Life Balance. 

Where did this come from? 
This term was coined around 1986. Men and women of color and white women had begun making serious inroads into the professional workforce. The country had been experiencing a depressed economy and people were working longer hours to try to get ahead. Added to this, workforce reductions caused people to work even longer hours. Workers balked at complaining over the extended work weeks for fear that they'd wind up on the chopping block. There was a heady mix of increased worker productivity, advances in technology, stepped-up globalization, and more people in the workplace that went into the RIF brew. 

I remember taking a group of managers off into the "wilderness" (Oconomowoc, Wisconsin) to meet in groups and discuss our personal mission statements. Sounds nice, but the gathered managers and key employees were left wondering: How do achieve that much vaunted "balance" when my evaluation depends on producing results (no matter how long I have to work to get them). Added to the mix is the trend for performance management systems to include evaluation of a worker's work-life balance. Now, I had been in HR for a number of years and I know I didn't have a solid explanation of WLB. As it turned out, no one else did.

Seemed kind of pointless.

How you think gives an insight to how you work? 
Even though I'm trained in behavioural science, I'm not a fan of extensive testing in the workplace--mostly because I'm not sure that those tests are valid (measures someting worth measuring) or reliable (consistent application of the measure over time). Taken in broad strokes, humans tend to think and solve problems in two dynamic ways (there are others, but just hang on: we're embarking on a little chat here): linear or serial thinking and non-linear or parallel thinking.


In a serial world, a person handles one problem set through to completion. Ask them to take on several projects and you'd be spitting into the wind.  Parallel or non-linear thinking and problem solving tends to see people working on several projects at the same time (or moving from project to project). In most companies, we make space for only one kind of thinking: care to guess which one?

Does it work? 
Now, I've met those people who thrive on the energy and drama of a packed schedule. You may like to run from pillar to post with your hair on fire, trailing paper, taking on the cellphone and sliding into a parking space at the gym in just enough time for yoga. You may like being up in the wee hours checking email and crafting a question for your LinkedIn Q&A forum. If that works for you: God love you. Keep on keeping on. 

There really is no need to force change on a person whose personal system is working. Where we get into trouble is when it no longer serves us: That's when it's time to consider other options and develop other habits.

Thanks for tuning in to Talking Robots! This podcast is now finished so take some time to listen to the shows you might have missed and don't forget to subscribe to "Robots", the new podcast for news and views on robotics at www.robotspodcast.com.

Talking Robots: Outro

With 45 interviews with high profile people in robotics, nearly 200'000 downloads and a good insight on today's and tomorrow's robotics, here we are now with the final episode of Talking Robots dedicated to what people really think about robots. In addition we'll be speaking with Dario Floreano, the initiator and director of the Talking Robots podcast and the director of the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems, at the EPFL in Switzerland. He'll be concluding this series with a retrospective on these two past years and a note on the future. Future which will include Robots, your podcast for news, interviews and discussions on all aspects of robotics (http://www.robotspodcast.com).

Talking Robots: Final Episode

In this episode of Talking Robots we speak with Henry Markram who is the director of the Blue Brain Project, director of the Center for Neuroscience and Technology and co-director of EPFL's Brain Mind Institute in Switzerland.

While most roboticists have been working on abstracting the brain, the Blue Brain project has been painting the whole picture of a rat neocortical column (NCC) from the bottom up; starting with the cells, neurons, and finally pulling the connections which generate the jungle of the mind. It seems that modeling our grey matter as a whole might result in emergent features such as consciousness or self representation and provide necessary tools for the study of brain disorders such as Alzheimer's or Autism. Finally, robots embedded with such in-silico replication of the brain might not only be more efficient in communicating, showing emotions and planning, they will also serve as essential testbeds to better understand what's happening in our head.

Talking Robots: Henry Markram - Blue Brain Robotics

In this episode of Talking Robots we speak with Yoky Matsuoka who is the director of the Neurobotics Laboratory at the University of Washington in Seattle, USA.
Boosted by her nomination as MacArthur Fellow she has been recognized as a leader in the emerging field of neurobotics. With her team, she's been focused on understanding how the central nervous system coordinates musculoskeletal action and how robotic technology can enhance the mobility of people with manipulation disabilities.
