Work From Home Wednesdays



I like the idea. I think it is on par with Google's 20% time.

Should your startup have mandatory “Work from home Wednesdays?”
ThredUP co-founder and CEO says prohibiting his employees from coming into work one day a week, allows his team to think big picture, and increases productivity. (Just make sure that work from home day isn’t Friday). ..... It’s easy to get myopic at a startup and become too focused on results and milestones instead of taking a step back and thinking about the big picture
I think this can be taken to work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Rent the space out to someone else those two days.

Flickr And Yahoo Mail


Those two need obvious work and are relatively easy to do.

Can Marissa Mayer turn Yahoo around?

Flickr

Make it free again. There should be no limit to how many pictures you can upload.

Give the option to embed. I should be able to embed a Flickr picture - not just mine, but of anyone who will allow it - into a blog post of mine.

Yahoo Mail

There is a need for cloud storage, like Dropbox, Skydrive, Google Drive. So all email attachments go to the cloud. Inboxes don't have space limits these days.

Yahoo Mail spam protection sucks. I can block email from an email address, and the next time I get an email from that address, it still gets delivered! Fix this.

Social Graph

Tap into them. Facebook has one. Twitter has one. LinkedIn has one. Google Plus has one.

Overlap these graphs onto my Flickr and Yahoo Mail.

Mobile

Go mobile on both.
