So here is a little trivia question for you...
Don't read Wikipedia (it wont tell you)...
So here is the riddle...
"This thing all things devour:
Birds, beast, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grind hard stones to meal;
Slays kings, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.
Yes friends the answer is...
TIME
This week's piece by
Gerry McGovern's is about the price we pay to our masters of the web.
It's the same time - TIME. And we used to say that procrastination was the thief of time - now the web has replaced it. But my point this week is that the amount of time that is spent by simply sitting in front of a computer is really a huge waste of this very scarce resource.
Take me for example - I spent the better part of the weekend waiting for the migration from Vista to Windows 7. What another excruciatingly painful and waste of time that was....
However onto more practical things. Our delivery of our products and services have to be better. Gerry's piece makes a very good point. We need to be obsessed - like Google is - with making our sites more efficient and less time consuming. Perhaps we should reward not time spent on site but the shortest time on site.
Think about it
Cheers
