00:10 Jason Atwood: This is the 92nd episode of CloudFocus Weekly for the day of 2012. This episode is titled Number One Bust. CloudFocus Weekly is sponsored by Arkus, a cloud computing expert. I'm your host, Jason Atwood. And joining me for the 90 second time on this planet, is the co-host, Justin Elston. Justin, how are you doing today? What planet would this be again? I don't know, the planet Zorton. I don't know where I went with that. I went and saw a battleship last week. So did I.

Justin Edelstein: And it was horrible. I was sitting next to you. Next year you were. It was awful horrible. So, Horrible.

Jason Atwood: That's my summer movie review, my beginning of my series called Summer Movie Reviews. Don't see it. Go see Avengers again. Yeah. Money well spent. Alright, we got some stuff. We have a blog post, of course, on blog.arkusinc.com. Talk about that. We have some Google News. We have some Salesforce News. We'll have the title of this article, so we'll discuss that. And then we have the... Seven reasons why glared at Facebook was a bust article. And, and some, I guess that wraps it up. We'll wrap it up with some CloudFocus app picks of the week. wow, you actually have one. Good stuff. I do. I have a few. Excellent. I'm just storing them. Nice. I love that 92 episodes in you kind of figured out to actually start this. I'm just like storing them.

Jason Atwood: They're backlogged. I love it. Alright. So first thing is the blog post, it a not up yet but it will be up probably on Friday. So this, Wednesday, will probably put this podcast up today. So it will probably be up on Friday. And it is all about, it's actually the, it's a very specific how to. That's right, it's part of our, I want to say part of our how-to series if that was to exist.

Justin Edelstein: Is that what it is, Blogmaster? Why not? It's a very data geeky sales force thing, but if you've ever been challenged with having to load opportunity line items or product line items, you'll be very interested in reading this post because it walks you through step by step. how to associate products or product line items with opportunities with their price books it's actually a rather challenging task from a data loading perspective it's not as straightforward as you'd think and there's many steps involved with getting the right ID's for things And I think the partner who shall remain seamless did a pretty good job of writing and walking through the steps of how to go about loading the products as they relate to opportunities.

Jason Atwood: And so extremely geeky, click your geek hat on, put your Salesforce geek on when you read it. It's a good reference piece too, cause

Justin Edelstein: You're a salesforce administrator to have to do this task point so you may may as well bookmark it in your ever noted. Put it somewhere where you can reference it or just rely on.

03:20 Jason Atwood: Arkus uploading price book data and we'll probably get it when it's out. Opportunity line items. Opportunity line items. There you go. All right so we have some Google News, we'll just kind of hit all the Google News. All right. They've been in the news, as it were. This is the, Bash Microsoft podcast I just realized. Kind of is. Well, that's my number one bus. I had this, because it's kind of like a lot of bus stuff and a lot of like, like number one things. Like your number one. you The first one is,

Justin Edelstein: This one stunned me. I will say- When I saw this. I was reading this the other day and it stunned me. When I saw this in the agenda. Yes. It was the first thing that made our agenda this week as we built our agenda collaboratively over the week. So I've started,

Jason Atwood: You see what I'm doing now? When I'm tweeting in the morning. So I like to wake up and I like to read Zite. I've talked about that on my iPad, love it. and I tweet a few articles, but the articles I'm thinking about, oh, I want to have that as part, I might want to talk that. I'm now putting the hashtag, CFPW, CFPW. Yeah. Whatever. Yeah, so no, I hashtag it so I can go back and find the ones that I want to put in. Good job. Nice, nice job there, buddy. I liked it.

Justin Edelstein: Okay, you could also just throw it somewhere else. but that seems like a good... Your little read later list, that's a good place it is. Yeah, I never go there. Where? Where else? Your read later list seems like a good place for it. Anyway though, I saw this in the... We haven't even said what it is. Google Chrome. Now the number one browser in the world. Crazy sauce. Browser Wars. They're back. It's like Storage Wars, but for browsers. Storage Wars, but... Not as fun. Not even close. To watch. So Dave Hester got taken down.

Jason Atwood: That was a little inside for those who watched Star Wars. So you have to be a Cloud So you have to be a Cloud Super Weekly listener and someone who likes browsers and now you're taking now you're comparing it to a super go on AMC or TNT or something. Listen,

Justin Edelstein: That was pretty awesome. Okay. Anyway. way. So what seems like forever. Like, the most meaningful- When Netscape used to move the world. Yeah, but for like the most meaningful years of the internet, like the last, I don't know, 10 to 15,

Jason Atwood: Internet Explorer has kind of owned it. And they owned it primarily because they shipped it on every computer and it was the default and that's it. That's it. So that's why this is sort of so interesting. I. I think to take over that market you're basically First of all IE has just gone nowhere. So Microsoft. Thank you very much You've helped out a lot because you've really done nothing with the browser. I'm using 8 on Parallels, and I don't even know if that's the most current. It's not.

06:22 Justin Edelstein: No, 9 is the one where they have those pretty Super cool commercials for they were seeing them. No, they're pretty good. Actually the commercials are good I don't know. I've yet to use the browser. I haven't used their next blur in I Don't know I I have it I also have parallels on my Mac and I have to boot into Windows from time to time to do some things and I have to their browser. Well, I have chrome and I set chrome. I'm to my default I just don't even want to deal with it So,

Jason Atwood: I don't know. So Microsoft was one part of it because they just haven't innovated. Google, of course, owning the search engine and then sort of pushing across. They own Android. And they've made, they put a lot of money into it. Their ad campaigns are actually great. Oh,

Justin Edelstein: They're fantastic. Oh, that one with the kid. I swear, we get misty. Well, they keep going. They're just really good. They had a new one just this week. Where it was like a guy Like who broke up with his girlfriend like trying to get her back like saying he's sorry like sending it was more like a Overall Google service like chrome is the linchpin of it was really really well done Those are really good commercials, and I will throw a little so this is awesome.

Jason Atwood: I mean I think it's great I love the wars I was looking at the stats and seeing how Firefox while it's taking a dive It still maintains a huge percentage in there, which I would have thought not And then Safari's kind of got this, you know, slowly but surely. I don't think Safari on Windows ever really took off. You know on the Mac Safari is huge, but on Windows while it's available I don't think people if you're gonna go install another browser, you're not installing Safari.

Justin Edelstein: No, you're installing Firefox or Chrome. Right and you're not thinking. How do you think that I don't see it in this article, but do you think that the mobile browser is captured in these statistics. Cause I would have to imagine on the mobile, Safari's gotta be number one. I don't know, there's a lot of Android devices. They're all using Chrome. Well, is that where these numbers come from? Part of it, must be. It also mentions that IE is still the top browser in certain regions, including North America. But, you know, Chrome has some extreme popularity in places that have lots of people, lots of people. India, South America, you know, with Orkut down in Brazil, I think that's where Or, Orkut is really big as a social network. And it's still, you know, i.e.

Justin Edelstein: Still the default web browser for any Windows machine that gets shipped. And that's...

Jason Atwood: Large majority of machines are windows machines so more Google news or Google rumors that they're gonna put out Chrome for the iPad or the iOS devices so there's been knockoffs you know there's a couple

09:29 Justin Edelstein: There and I think there's puffin

Jason Atwood: On the iPad, you're on the iPad locked into one browser because anything you click opens that browser. And I don't know how, you can't change that. Basically any link you click opens Safari. I get caught in the multiple Gmail account stuff, you know Google, you know, I'm counting that world sometimes so I would love to go to the browser just to kind of Make it be a certain set of data.

Justin Edelstein: I'm doing my desktop is for my laptop. I should say serves that function Yeah, actually, I have three browsers that I juggle Safari and Chrome are both Arkus Google accounts and and Firefox is my personal stuff stays in Firefox Nice we all juggle that yeah time to time I'm sure yeah the I It was a good time.

Jason Atwood: And I think it goes back to, you know, as we were starting to talk about before the podcast, which we talk a lot about when companies buy companies, we talk about what Salesforce has bought. And then, you know, we always say, well, was it successful? Was it not? And I don't, before this, I've never had numbers around sort of, you know, what people consider success. But, you know, 40% of your, of, you know, your stuff not working out. and you know they go over some of them like Slide which I guess they're gaming never I didn't know they bought that so many that they buy different reasons that was just an interesting point that they kind of admitted that you know a large percentage of their acquisitions didn't work out.

Justin Edelstein: I don't know if that I don't I don't know if that's a large percentage it's a third. it's 40 out of 120. So that's that's one third. Yeah. If you're talking in terms of a technology company, is that is that like, it's labor, you know, the headline is one third of acquisitions are failures, right? But is that an overall failure? It doesn't, I don't know if that means a high percentage of millions of dollars.

Jason Atwood: I don't know, it's technology though. It's hard millions of dollars. It's not like it's not going to the grocery store and buying, a three eggs and one of them is not good. You're buying something that you have hundreds of people who are paid a lot, a lot of money to investigate and to go make sure they spend months making sure these acquisitions are right. So to say that even after all that work, like if you went and spent all that work trying to do that and then still didn't get it right, and again it's not like betting on horses or football games, it's completely, it's something that you control. They control who they buy. Yeah, I still think it's somewhat of a,

13:00 Justin Edelstein: There's still some guessing to,

Jason Atwood: Like, you might... You, you might guess with $228 million.

Justin Edelstein: That Thank you. Who knows what they're even looking at a Google Doc on the mobile browser and I think it was yes logging in I didn't use an app I just logged into the website I clicked on a link or something and it logged me and I saw in the earl it still said rightly Really on the dock. I was like, oh man I- remember right Lee and when they bought that and what they did with it And I guess that would be considered a success, but it's still like baked in and it's like there's certain things at Google Like I remember when they bought dodgeball, right? I guess that turned into latitude, which was a failure I guess unless you're thinking well, we did get a lot of mapping data out of that And now our maps are much better.

Jason Atwood: And then the guys who made it went off, took the logo, because it's the same logo which is weird, made Foursquare. And then Foursquare is a success. So like, you bought a company for this product, you couldn't do anything well. The guys who built it originally left and then made the guys who left and made it into something even bigger. That to me has got to be failure. But you know, that's that's a high ratio and one of every three of these big acquisitions Okay, so they've also bought 120 of them. That's a lot. It's a lot If you bought four or if you bought six in the last six years and and two of them were not good. That's a large percentage I'm talking your big acquisitions.

Justin Edelstein: I guess. I mean, I don't know in the tech industry where things are changing so rapidly if that even is, if that should even be considered an overarching failure or not. Because where Google was five 2003 shoot nine years ago. I mean, they couldn't tell you where they would be nine years from then. They still have search. And that's still the cash cow, isn't it?

16:06 Jason Atwood: Speaking of cash cows, let's move right on to the seven reasons why Facebook IPO was a bust. So as we speak. We're going there, okay. As we speak today, Facebook, which launched its IPO last week and went up to I think a high of 38 was its high, has really come back down to earth and there are a lot of people saying that it's a... We just did the exact same thing by the way. We looked it up in Google.

Justin Edelstein: I've got my little Google One box here for me. Yeah, it got up to 45. But yeah, it's basically being called a bit of a fl K. The IPO right now it's at 3199 as we speak this very moment.

Jason Atwood: Yes, as we wait a second or two, it'll be but anyway, the article was interesting because it basically went through the seven reasons why it was a flop. Once I thought were interesting were, you know, that I think you can look at and go, okay, there's real reasons to, you know, Facebook not being happy about going public like they Zuckerberg has always said he didn't want to do it. So maybe that kind of resonated throughout the company or resonated with their potential investors. Then there's the thing about going IPO in May, like that's not a good time to go in I kind of interesting was saying Facebook is you know number six was Facebook is not necessary Well, I thought seven was interesting. All right. Well, let's talk about six. All right like saying that it's a technology it's a technology but unlike Google which people use because they have to use like at this point what serves a very functional purpose You need it.

Jason Atwood: It gets you the information you need. You need Intel or IBM. These are things that you need. I forget people's birthdays. There's a couple of groups I've started that would have to go R.I.P. someplace else to build them. But there's marketing. I will say a lot of our traffic. A lot of traffic comes from Facebook. Facebook is a huge marketing. I think from a company if you're not on Facebook You're not using it as a marketing arm a social marketing arm. You're making a big mistake, but other than that, you know, it's not It's it's certainly not Necessary.

Justin Edelstein: Well, so what is the one that you thought was I thought seven is just interesting mass social media as a croc Ha I just think that's like it. That's a really bold statement and and where I mean this is on Forbes written by rich call guard He says you know It's why he likes LinkedIn more than Facebook because it has a purpose it has a specific niche purpose it's for connecting your business contacts and keeping in touch and you know you can put your resume it's kinda like your live resume right connect with people for a real purpose where a Facebook is very amalgamist and just you know okay Social media for specific purposes is more useful than mass social media, which is again more

19:31 Jason Atwood: Sort of goes towards six where it's not necessary. It's just it's just a thing I just looked up LinkedIn, which went IPO I think last fall. It's now 103. You know, it's interesting. I mean, there's a lot of been hype around it. We're one of our industries that we serve here at Arkus is financial services and being in their offices and talking about it and seeing some of the hype. But I remember when Google went IPO and I think it opened at like 80. And I remember thinking at that, I'm not gonna buy it at 80. I'll wait till it tumbles back down. Shot up to like 500. Yeah, basically never looked back. Nope. Whereas Facebook now, you know, which I kind of thought would shoot up like that now hanging around 30 die They're also saying things like the European market.

Jason Atwood: There's sort of general unrest I don't know. I mean to me it kind of looks like it's it's a tool that everybody uses and it's so ubiquitous at this point I was even making fun of people that I went to a wedding over the weekend. I wanted to them it's It's almost become like hip to say you don't do Facebook anymore. It's like, I don't do Facebook. Come on. That's like saying, to me that's like saying I don't do email. I don't do email. I'm sure there were people like, I don't do email. Listen, it's got its purpose. Is it, you know, should you spend as much time as I see some people spending their time doing? No. All right, so that's it for today. But is there, you know, is there 10 minutes in your day or 5 minutes in your day you go, you check, you see some pictures of other people, you see the birthday and you basically find out what's going on?

Jason Atwood: You know, I like it for that. I like it for that just like I like Twitter for that, you know. But for them, yeah, I'm not doing Facebook, I don't do Facebook. Like okay, you're super cool, you don't do Facebook.

Justin Edelstein: If you could for the next 3 weeks, if I were to say to you a month- You are not allowed to use Facebook or Twitter Which one would you give up. You can use one, but you can't use the other you can only use one of them Which one would you do if I could? Facebook or Twitter yeah, you could you have to give up one of these two things you must close your account You can't go to out can't go to their website can't go to Twitter.com not logged in you You have to give up Twitter or give up Facebook. Which one would you give up?

Jason Atwood: I'd probably give up Twitter. Really? I'd go the other way. You know why? Because while Twitter is interesting to me and while I read stuff on Twitter, I would not want to miss the social aspect. Because they're very divided for me. Twitter is. Not very personal like I don't know I don't do personal stuff on faith on Twitter a Work all sort of my brand Whereas Facebook is personal so I would lose with that 30 weeks you say take away Twitter fine I lose people posting stuff about Dreamforce I lose articles and you know I lose news items, but there's a million places. I know get Get news items. There's a million places. I know get news items There's a million place that go get news items. There's a million places that go get news.

Jason Atwood: There's a million and you or what or, or what blogs or what blogs or people are following But there are very, very few places where I'm as interconnected as friends and family that I would lose. There's no other place to get that. I think that's where there's Twitter, there's other places to get the same information. There is no place to get the same information as on … … Again, I could replace Twitter's functionality.

23:19 Justin Edelstein: I like the information flow of Twitter more than I like Facebook. I value the things that I can find on Twitter more than the things I can find on Facebook. And I use Twitter in that way. You don't have very much personal people. No, no, no. They're different audiences. They're different wildlife. Bye. follow more people on Twitter and have more people following me on Twitter, they're less people than I actually know. Right. That's okay. Right. I still value the information that I get out of Twitter more than the information that I get out of going on Facebook. Oh I agree. So that's, I mean that just for me. I could reply to that. I'm sure I could. You're right. Like, oh okay so I'll go to Google Reader for the next month or I'll go to Zite.

Justin Edelstein: I can't use my Twitter account to power my Zite. You know what I mean? I don't know if Zite is power but. Okay I compare it to Flipboard which is. you know, powered by like some of those things. All right. Well, all right. Let's move right along to some stuff that's come out of Cloudforce, London. Salesforce has put the PR machine into full spin mode and I shouldn't say spin mode. They're not spinning anything. You know, they had a Cloudforce event and from Cloudforce comes news. and they've hit the web big time and specifically talking about chatter and chat and message and announcing screen sharing to come the headline here on Read Write Cloud is Salesforce's Chatter Elbows Microsoft's Skype that's a big bold statement isn't it? That's a paid for advertisement that's a Mark Benioff wrote this and handed it to somebody and they put it on their website

Jason Atwood: Salesforce dominates all things that it could easily

Justin Edelstein: I mean I I don't even think of like to me and we've been at large the large enterprise that won't be named right they still even large anymore? I guess they're everything If you take all of those- Cell rating their 200th anniversary. If you take all the companies and put them all together, they're still very big. They were in the collaboration, instant messenger, Microsoft shop. Yep. But it wasn't- Well at that time Microsoft didn't own Skype. But it wasn't Skype, it was- the Microsoft, was it UCS or OCS? And Microsoft Man. Well there was the Messenger piece, the client, and then there was the server piece. Again, things that you don't want to think about, right? And I don't really think of Microsoft Skype. No. As an enterprise tool, ever.

Jason Atwood: They have enterprise tools that's blocked.

Justin Edelstein: Yeah, every enterprise. Skype is the enterprise tool. Microsoft a Microsoft communicator is the enterprise tool. Or the UCS. I think it was the UCS. Whatever. 10 people stop listening. On the back end. So Salesforce comes along and they're going to roll out this chat instant message. in their next release coming this summer available in your in your sandbox or pre-release I've been a sandbox and nobody's ever in there with me right so there's no one to talk to

26:47 Jason Atwood: It's like who am I going to chat with it's nobody it I just I've gone and played with it so I went to another person inBarkas and I'm like let's just go into a sandbox and play with chat and it was Interesting, I mean it's browser-based, so you have all the problems of browser-based chat, right? That's why we use iChat and connect it up to a Jabber, which is Google, because you don't want your chat to be connected the other applications, because if those applications go bye-bye, and although I would say Chrome and Safari are pretty stable at this point, they don't crash as much as they do. you know, used to. You know, you don't want to kind of lose that. So,

Justin Edelstein: So where is also why we don't use, although we have it, the Google Talk widget in Salesforce. I don't have it even exposed.

Jason Atwood: It's there. I think that's the first thing I would remove. It's gone. But I love it for, so what I think is going to be interesting is... The presence awareness is really the big one for me. When I'm sitting and looking at it on an account or something. And again, we were playing around with this and there's some nice things about it. You know, it does, you know, you can see people and when they're online and it hides in the bottom and it pops up and you can chat with people. But that presence awareness, that presence to kind of go, oh. I'm looking, an opportunity they might be looking to, I could go up to chatter and wait for them to answer or I could just click, hey, start a chat with them. And it's just very, very in line with what you're doing.

Jason Atwood: I think that's very smart. And I can see a lot of organizations, I think will be really cool as we're in the Dreamforce portal. I don't know Bill and Abel in the Dreamforce portal because maybe it'll break it. But like in Dreamforce portal I go in and I look around and you know it'd be fun to like pop up a list of people or in and see someone who you don't know but you know and to kind of like start a real time chat with them. I think you know I think that real time thing is kind of fun especially in that type of organization. So again while I love chatting we probably won't move away from using Google Talk and in iChat we probably will use this inside of Inside as a just another way to sort and get someone's attention right and we also have Google Docs Which actually has presence inside the doc so I'm staring at the doc and I can see the year in there reading it At the same time and I can actually chat with you about it right so it's like There's lots of chat.

Justin Edelstein: There's lots of ways, but that's collaboration and you know, that's I think that's great So they even talk about you know moving forward the the screen sharing capabilities and they even give a date by fall 2012 They'll be adding screen. What's happening fault? What's happening fall? Twenty-four. I think there's this big conference in San Francisco Anything before something else like winter winter 13 it would be wouldn't it so you know they actually explain the use case for the screen sharing and I thought that this was interesting because It's not the go to meeting replacement. I wish it were yeah, but it's not This is the you know and I use go to meeting for this constantly. I use the meet now button, right? Pops open a meeting and I, give the person the idea and they hop in.

29:57 Justin Edelstein: Right? But this is you know, let's let's just, help me with this right now. I'm looking at something, let's look at it together right now It's not, I have a meeting in a week. Let me I- I bet that's coming, but this is more I'm looking at this case

Jason Atwood: Help me figure this out, or you know, I'm, I feel like cases is really the one,

Justin Edelstein: The and we'll see how it. go ahead I was going to say there's one tidbit of information that we should share and that is safe harbor auditability

Jason Atwood: Oh as the makers of compliance for chatter available on apple change for free exactly we

Justin Edelstein: Should talk about relentability of in general which there but chatter messenger there is no audit trail to chatter messenger it is in the

Jason Atwood: You will likely have to turn this off. Right, so I was actually talking to one of our clients today, who might be listening, and we're in a sandbox, and I said, oh, have you, are you ready that switch it off the day it comes out? Because this is one of those things that will turn on automatically. So, and he said, no, I've actually filled out the paperwork to have it pre-turned off. So if you need it turned off, you can actually fill out paperwork. work. to say I do not have it turned on which is nice. I still wish this would have been a turn on thing like allowing people turn on. I don't like it when they do these things that have all sorts of ramifications. Especially when I train. Compliance ramifications.

Justin Edelstein: What was the user ramifications? This doesn't to me, like all of a sudden there's instant messenger. Okay, there's instant messenger. to me it's more of a it's not an end user is lost and all of a sudden can't do their job thing it's a it's a company needs to have communications audited and they now can't so can so can be in trouble thing right like all of a sudden this instant messenger thing pops up to the lower right hand corner You're still gonna know how to use Sales, for us you're not gonna get lost you're Oh my god, I don't know what to do anymore this thing is here and things

33:00 Jason Atwood: Are popping up like that's not a huge issue But well again as a prize I think for a privacy thing it actually signs you in as available And it makes people know that you're there There's a privacy issue with that you should not you should never assume you should never roll out anything that does something for somebody that they don't know what's going to do it. what's going to do it. So it's my exact same thing for the for the when you installed chatter for desktop he just installed chatter for iPad he's and so it's like Don't do things behind the scenes that I don't know you're doing that you're exposed yet You're you're saying to a group that I don't that I don't I didn't make that decision Give me a button that says do you want to do this and I'll click it or not?

Justin Edelstein: But don't do it automatically because what happens if I don't want everybody to know I just installed a ladder for blah It's like when you register for Dreamforce you have the opportunity to tweet that you registered for dry force Even after you've you know typed in your Twitter handle it doesn't it can't now it can't look for it Well, it's weak for you. Yes, it could well you didn't type in your password.........atatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatat user just registered for Dreamforce.

Jason Atwood: Yeah, even that I think is, give me an option. Don't, what happens, I don't want people to know that I just registered. I don't know. Now you can go delete it.

Justin Edelstein: So, sure. And you can go delete both tweets. And compliance for chatter will store the fact that you deleted it. There you go, wow, that's enough. All right,

Jason Atwood: Let's move on. Okay, let's go to the CloudFocus app. Pick of the week. Why not?

Justin Edelstein: So it is not really it will be raining so like when you should leave when you I'm gonna go how do you know how accurate this it was pretty darn accurate when I left it was it was not raining but it told me it was drizzling by the time I got to where I was and I got up on the subway it was really great it has some really neat visualizations of the radar itself so you can see like it has these little like wavelengths out in time so you can see like oh there it's fluctuating out there so it might be might not it was pretty darn accurate I was very impressed with it it is 399 so for an iOS app 399 not cheap not expensive but pretty cool. 399 doesn't stop me.

36:41 Justin Edelstein: No it didn't stop me either so I thought it was just the coolest. It was a really cool use of location and weather services and visualization of those, of the weather. weather and just just a for an app, I want it to work on both my two. I don't want to buy things that are one way.

Jason Atwood: So I will add this into my folder with weather. I use Weather Club. It's totally worth it. It's awesome. The Weather Channel and my radar, which does something similar, but I love this concept. So I've used these before in camping. If you ever go camping, this is huge because you literally want to know, like, you know, are we going to wake up in a storm? And I remember we were, it was three years ago, I was camping with a bunch of the fathers from the neighborhood. and our kids and it was like there was, the that

Justin Edelstein: And,

Jason Atwood: Great, $3.99, go buy it for iOS. It's pretty new, it's pretty cool too. Yeah, that is very cool. Mine is not gonna be as cool. This is just, I just need to do this as a shout out because I love this app and I use it all the time and, so it's one of those that it's like, two people listening to this podcast might wanna use it and you're one of them. So as I, as I've talked about before,, I'm a huge GTD guy getting things done by the productivity methodology by David Allen. one. about Database and it builds a little set of numbers for you So again, this is only for you OmniFocus got people out there This is for OmniFocus like nerds But it's if you use OmniFocus you need So you need, because here's why There's this number tells me how many projects I have how many active projects how many pending projects those are Not the one, you know, how many lists, it gives you a whole bunch of stats.

40:43 Jason Atwood: The big one is current projects. Current projects is the number of projects you have going that are kind of, they're not, haven't started yet, but they're kind of actively going that you can see. Then there's pending ones that could be coming up at any time. And that number is the number I key off of. So again, I look at that, I try to keep that under 80, that's when I can actually do stuff. If I'm over 80 into 90, I know when I'm, I actually go through and start taking projects and putting them on hold because I just can't, I know that I'm going to explode with, I won't I'll put the link in the blog post, a blog.arkusinc.com. Again, so I just had to do shout out because I've used it so much, I know it's not a cloud app,.

Jason Atwood: But OmniFocus syncs with the cloud, so I think it's good. I always pick a piece of hardware that I was showing you before the show, but maybe I'll pick that next week.
