How We Want To Fix Team Chat 14 years ago
If we keep building for behind the firewall, then software for firewalls will continue to live. The only way to kill behind the firewall software is to stop building shrink-wrapped software.
Why kill shrink-wrap you ask? Because building and then promptly forgetting about software is a thing of the past. Now we have amazing tools that allow us to build even better solutions. Things like analytics, a/b testing and the cloud are the future for software. Why continue to build in the past?
SOMA is the best spot to stay. Also, email me! Yammer is hiring and we'd love to have you come in for lunch while you're in town.

It's not a talent shortage, it's a hiring problem 14 years ago
Of course, but that includes being talented at being part of a team ;)
It's not a talent shortage, it's a hiring problem 14 years ago
We often find that there are plenty of technically qualified people out there, but what you can do isn’t the only factor in hiring. The most important thing about hiring talent is finding talent that works well with your existing talent. In other words: finding a good CULTURE fit. There are LOTS of smart people out there, but only a small percentage of those people are sociable enough to really do an exceptional job as a part of a TEAM, and teams, not talent, build products.
How to be a web designer 15 years ago
psd.tutsplus.com has a couple of layout type tuts to get you started. If you really want to be good you should just steal as much as possible. Picasso once said "Bad artists copy. Good artists steal."
Good design is an evolution. You will piece together other peoples work in new and interesting ways and others will improve on what they see from you. Spend A LOT of time on gallery sites looking at what works and try to replicate it in your next designs. Soon a style will form and good habits will be in place, at that point you can experiment with new things and give back to the community with fresh new design ideas.
Good luck mate!
Try Yammer, it works great for small teams (I am biased, I am the UX/UI designer at Yammer)
