Pretty good interview with Cisco's next CEO [in my opinion] Michelangelo Volpi. Its a bit dates [from Oc 2002] however its interesting to see how Cisco has managed to keep adapting to changing market conditions and how they are positioning themselves for future success. During the Bubble Days their M & A engine was the 'star', in fact Mike was even named Cheif Strategy Officer. Times change, they reorganized, and are focusing more product development to veteren management. Simply brilliant. The interest thing is that they may not have the best technology, but they definitely have the best marketing.

I spent "some" time on msn messenger, keeping "in touch" with friends through out the work day. However, I've noticed that some of my friends have started using a new type of language....a strange mix between traditional English and a new form of English where words and phrases are modified for ease of typing. For example: you is replaced by u, the need to show humour is signaled by LOL, adverbs or adjectives are left out, and thoughts come in a sporadic, non-sequitur sort of way. Is there a name for this new language? Webglish, possibly.
