My feed reader just lit up with a post from David V. Lorenzo.
I’m sure he knew about simple before we exchanged emails, but I’m gonna say I’ve rubbed off on him. I like simple and he’s got a post all about it.
Here’s a few nuggets of wisdom to entice you into going over to read the whole post and subscribing to his RSS feed.
” Have you ever met someone who loves to complicate things? They relish showing you how smart they are by making a concept or procedure so difficult that only they can understand it. These people don’t get very far in business and often become politicians. In truth, it is much more difficult to simplify than it is to complicate. ”
Those words are very true. I’m in an ongoing argu…er, discussion with one of my webmistresses. I want posting and using images, like we did here, to be easier and she insists it’s as easy as it can get. I want it to be even easier and I’m gonna win.
” Remember that wishing doesn’t make things happen. Hope is a great tool for staying optimistic and positive, but achieving your goals requires action. Do not make decisions based upon things that you hope will happen. Make decisions based upon concrete evidence, past precedents, or the resources that are available. “
Action is the father of all inventions. No idea ever got to useful product without action.
Head over to David’s blog and read the whole post. It’s well worth your time. It’s simply too good to pass up.

Simple rocks. Look at the success Google has. It is ever so simplistic and can have it’s varying degrees of copmlexity when searching or looking at news or shopping, perfect for those occasions when you need more. Similiar sites such as MSN or Yahoo are so overloaded with crap that I will only use those websites if it’s absoletuly necessary because I can’t find what I’m looking for unless I use the find feature in Firefox.
You’re right, Russell, there’s no reason to make anything any more complicated than it has to be.
I don’t use a SE besides Google. I use a search tool called Search Automator to do all my heavy duty searching.
Thanks for coming by and thanks for leaving a comment.
Reminds me of the sentence I really hate, “He must be really smart because I never understand a word he says.”
