Ever heard of...Encyclopedia of spam ?

One day I came to the office, and found this huge book sitting on the desk of my officemate, with his own name on the cover. Certainly I can not complain I have a boring officemate :) - if you want to know more about this unlikely-to-exist tome, you can read about a rather interesting history of it.

Creative or crazy ?

Naver, and core competency

According to the report, Naver, one of the largest internet portal and search site in South Korea, had a service interruption of almost 6 hours. Well, 6-hour outage is outrageous itself, but that's not why I'm flabbergasted. I just learned from the same news report that Naver is "outsourcing" its IT infrastructure to IBM. And it gets even better. Apparently Naver doesn't take care of their domain either - they "outsource" their DNS management to www.gabia.com.

An internet portal/search site that doesn't know how to take care of its IT infrastructure and domain ? Somebody needs to have a better grip on their core competencies...
