Back to the Tracking
Seth Godin often writes great posts about what should be quite simple business logic. He typically strips things down into their basics. I admire that because I know in my workplace, often things get lumped into this big stew of confusion, lost in protocol, and mirred in logic overkill. A simple solution for a simple problem is often delayed because of the incessant need for pages upon pages of documentation--usually the result of one department or group feeling like they were "screwed over" and now feels as if their collective back is against the wall, lashing out in a 'cover-your-ass' type of mentality.
Obviously this tends to effect the bottomline dramatically. And frustrate the living hell out of me. I'd give specific examples but that wouldn't get me anywhere, at least on this forum.
Despite my liberalism, I enjoy success and I am quite a capitalist in the purest of senses--the difference from what many conservatives or Republicans (or hell even Libertarians) conjecture is that I feel that true capitalist societies must demand accountability from their corporations, must demand government interference in avenues where revenue shouldn't be made (utilities for example, should be non-profits, streamlined to the utmost of efficiency), and government expenditure should just make sense (no bridge to nowhere, social programs that help boost lower income families into median, etc)
Oh but yeah, Seth Godin happened to have a pretty decent explanation of trackbacks but here's something that SixApart says.
