Last time I changed jobs (from Plumtree to Yahoo!), I swore I would take at least a week off between jobs. So what do I do this time? I quit my old job at Yahoo! Answers on Friday, and I started my new job on Saturday. On Saturday, I jumped on a plane to Tel Aviv, Israel, where the development team resides. And here I am now, first time in the Middle East. The new gig, MyThings, is hopefully going to be a blend of e-commerce and social networking. At least it uses all the Web 2.0 buzzwords. Now I have to help make it become reality. With the development team in Israel, the sales team in London, and the Marketing & Product Mgmt team in Palo Alto, it will be a real challenge to manage the geographic divide, but the opportunity in this space make it all worthwhile. Or at least lets hope so…..
