Weekly Blog Roundup

This is weekly roundup of a few of my blogging friends.

John Song blogs about how Competition Drives Performance.  Based upon John’s competitive experiences, he illustrates how the thrill of competing on the golf course can drive performance…even if it’s for only $2.

Tamara Dull finally gets a moment to blow the dust of her blog…and gets her own domain name http://www.tamaradull.com. 

Michael Arrington talks to Yahoo’s CTO about moving beyond the Microsoft deal.  I blogged about the risks and strategic nature of a potential Microhoo back in February.

I’ve been doing a lot of interviewing and hiring lately and my friend Robert Hacker provides some practical advice on interviewing.  Coincidentally, Robert and I are both celebrating our one year anniversary of blogging.  Robert does a much better job of describing the makeup of his audience.  Perhaps that is a function of Robert using Typepad vs. WordPress.  Though I like Google as a platform, their Blogger platform is not as robust in this area as WordPress. 

Bill Gates bids farewell to his full-time duties at Microsoft.  Watch Tom Brokaw’s full interview with Bill.  I was particularly impressed with Bill’s ideas on trying to motivate corporations to use their strength for helping poor people in the world.  The entire interview is very inspiring.
