Fast, Simple Open-Source IT
Case Study: Fast, Simple Open-Source IT
By Duff Mcdonald Pop quiz: Name the fastest retail Web site for American consumers, as measured by the number of seconds it takes to load the home page. If you said Amazon, you're probably not alone. But you're wrong. Likewise if you answered Overstock.com, BestBuy.com or even Netflix. The correct response is Zappos.com, one of the most startling success stories in online retailing over the past several years. The site, which was founded in 1999 and is known mainly for selling shoes, had just $1.6 million in gross sales in 2000. This year, they're projecting $600 million..... http://www.cioinsight.com/article2/0,154...111406CMS2
It is important to realize that each of us has a role in advancing my future.

Re: Fast, Simple Open-Source IT
Quote:Likewise if you answered Overstock.com I've sold an O for 2 years. O definitely wasn't one of the sites that came to mind. Their auction site pages are filled with more javascript crap than eBay's. Quote:In other words, it's never about technology for technology's sake. The late Boo.com was the greater offender in that regard and it quickly paid the price 6 years ago. |
