Yep–new Facebook design hurts–doesn’t help.

As Steve Ballmer once stated– “Developers–developers–developers”!

If you aren’t in synch with third parties as a platform supplier– you will lose their commitment and they will go to the next greatest open platform available.

So– we made SnagFilms for Facebook and its users; we have seen more traction of late with Myspace and bloggers than with Facebook–since their redesign; check out these graphs for what is happening in the developer community.

And if you are looking for your  SnagFilms film widgets– on Facebook– check in the ” boxes” button of your new profile page; and they should be in there– who knew?:-).

Never Listen To The Experts:-).

We havent done anything; we aren’t this good yet–temper your expectations, please.

We have miles to go before we sleep; I am serious– we cant believe any of this pre season hype– we must perform on the ice. Where it matters.

I must admit– it does feel good to see the respect we are being shown– as I stated last year– “The rebuild is over”; now how many of you thought we would be ranked this high– this fast ?

I dont take any of this seriously– it is all speculation– we are committed to improvement and to be a great team for a generation; and we want and need to win a Stanley Cup; let us just go out and play and stop the talking.

While Google’s Chrome is a nice looking product– it hasn’t gained much traction to date– recent reports state that as of last week, the new product has gained less than 1 percent market share– and was actually contracting in usage over the last 10 days as people go back to using  IE and Firefox.

It is very hard to get consumers to change their muscle memory– as I noted– I don’t think Google has been very successful in launching next generation twists on old services ala Instant Messaging, a browser– and I would  even argue email and mapping– directions compared to entrenched competitors.
