My Yahoo Messenger ListI don’t know about you, but I have Ymess since 1998. So that makes approximately 10 years … OMG, until I wrote these words, I did not even realize so much time passed by …

As time went by, I became more and more flooded with people in my messenger list… people that i did not know how to classify anymore… Business, friends, different work places, university … sometimes I have personal friends that I do business with and have done university with … :) that is a challenge

I know some people have the guts to just delete from their list anyone they have not spoken with in 3 months … I could not do that … so right now I have in my Ymess list 329 ids, categorized into 12 groups. The most relevant groups are only 4, with a total of 56 people…

Hey, Yahoo messenger Project Manager guy :) … if you are interested in what the consumer would need, please take into considerations these things:

first, groups should have the possibility to include other groups as well

secondly, any contact should have something like tags associated. So when I want to see all business partners, I could see them no matter of what group I’ve listed them in (that would happen, of course, if I correctly and completely tagged my contacts in the Yahoo Messenger list)

Anyway, I do not know how things were possible before, when there was no IMessagging … my entire professional life was accompanied by YM … so I still remember how I was 1 meter away from my colleague, yet, instead of turning to him to tell him something, I would just write on messenger … :) life is beautiful

Frankfurt IP View

For instance, since the last post, I have received visits from Seattle, Los Angeles and area, New York, Florida, London, Frankfurt, Lebanon, France and Romania. As you can imagine, while most people that visit my blog use automatic ips, they are anonymous to me. But, for some of them, their real identity is obvious from their IP’s. So, this Continue reading »
