::
Almost Right
::
Being
almost right is sometime better than being all
right.
Every once
in a while I took the chance of comparing one company to the other and predicting which will win. Up to now I was almost
right.
I had
I-Mesh up against
PlayJ.
I sided
with I-Mesh. I was almost right. I-Mesh is still a great product with tons of users but at the same time a very ugly story on the inside. PlayJ is still well funded but where the
hell is it
going?
I had
Babylon up against
GuruNet.
I sided
with Babylon. I was almost right. GuruNet is gone. Renamed Atomica and going into the very sexy business of knowledge management. Babylon is out picking cent by cent to
breakeven.
Now why am
I telling you
this?
Simple, so
you will continue reading the Wadi List and think it has smart
insights.
And why is
it better to be almost
right?
Because the
game never ends. Never. And there is no way to be all right. Just
almost.
That is the
lesson for
today.
The Wadi
List is back (for a
while).
