Anita -- totally agree. Making a simple usable technology is a complex affair. For example, Google looks rather simple. That is because it has gone through lots of complexity and tucks it away in the background well. Ditto with Apple's Ipod.
Here's a quote from Alwayson Network:
http://www.alwayson-network.com/comments.php?id=9741_0_4_0_C
[i]Readers should also closely observe Apple's focus on ease of use. In a recent Fortune interview, Steve Jobs said, "At Apple we come at everything asking, 'How easy is this going to be for the user? How great is going to be for the user?' ... Apple's core strength is to bring very high technology to mere mortals in a way that surprises and delights them and that they can figure out how to use. Software is the key to that. In fact, software is the user experience."[/i]
On how Malaysia.Net looks like now. It is at a stage equivalent to what a baby will look like when it is half-way through development in a mother's womb. Yes, not exactly a pretty sight -- not your pretty darling face of joy etc. Yes, it requires imagination to traject the roadmap at http://www.malaysia.net/bala-interview
Yes, it takes imagination to imagine the solution to a problem and the milestones to them. Yes, it takes imagination to put up with a not-pretty looking embryo and imagine it being a walking tall person.
On type of "some make the world happen" partners. I have to work with the most imaginative I can find -- needless to say, this is unprecedented. Please talk to:-
1) Arun Nair
2) Sohar Sarkar -- http://www.ryze.com/go/Sohag
3) Rinka Singh -- they "get it". They in turn will coordinate next layers.
All 3 are on Ryze.
Shrinath -- short albeit curt (apologies) answer to your question, because I have way too much on my plate:-
Prioritisation. Time Management -- get on with it. Needless to say what I am proposing is not for all. It is not for the majority. It is for the very very few inventive, to whom this resonates more than others in this league.
cheers../bala
