It’s so interesting that most entrepreneurs use basic online products in their lives every single day, but fail to realize what hooked them into using those products. Even more ironic is the fact that how disconnected we have become in recognizing the commonalities these mega successful products have that make them a “mega success”.

Ok, let me be more specific.… Read the rest of this entry »

What The iPad Means For Media Distribution In The Future

Yaro Starak — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 13:57:55 +0000

Many years ago (almost five years ago in fact) I wrote an article about what the music industry might look like in a digital distributed world.

My premise was that thanks to networked portable devices and the Long Tail, bands would survive because distribution networks would allow them to reach their fans much easier. In effect, I was preempting… Read the rest of this entry »

Yaro Starak — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 00:36:35 +0000

One of the Internet marketers who I respect the most is Indian Dr. Mani. What is special about the Doc, is that he really is a doctor, and devotes the money he generates online to heart surgeries for children, which he even does himself!

Dir Mani’s written a new book – a real physical book – that you can order… Read the rest of this entry »

Yaro Starak — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 04:56:19 +0000

This from Perry Marshall about the recent Microsoft buying Yahoo to beat Google news -

Unfortunately…. In My Humble Opinion, expecting Microsoft and Yahoo to be better than Google by getting together is like pairing up two people each with an IQ of 75 and putting them in a spelling bee and hoping that together they’re a 150 genius.
