Even if Microsoft announces a takeover, the Yahoo-Google deal could still go through. At least one analyst, Citigroup’s Mark Mahaney, has the deal as bringing Yahoo an additional $1 billion a year in revenue. Mahaney previously predicted that MS would increase it’s previous offer to $34 per share based on Yahoo’s revenue projections for the next 3 years. Earlier this week, Microsoft indicated it would offer $32-33, while Yahoo wants $35-37. The original offer is for $31 per share.

After the phenomenal success of The 7 Habits series 18 years ago, international bestselling author Stephen R. Covey has come up with his next book, The 8th Habit. With The 8th Habit, he opens up an entirely new dimension of human potential, and shows us how to achieve greatness in any position and any venue.

This profound and groundbreaking new book of next-level thinking reveals what Covey calls the Knowledge Age where the real power is the individual, not the larger machine.

He talks about how to maximize that power requires a rethinking of way people work together to achieve a greater product. The world today is different, with more challenges and complexity and the crucial challenge now is “to find our voice and inspire others to find theirs” – and that is The 8th Habit. How is this done? That’s what the rest of the book is about.

The 8th Habit is the answer to those yearning for greatness, be it an organization striving for superior results, or the humanity’s search for its “voice” or leaders seeking an effective resource for that will move them and their organization “from effectiveness to greatness.” This two-part solution is a road map in changing how people view leadership and their own personal influence.

To reap the full benefits that The 8th Habit has to offer, come prepared to engage and participate in the activities that the book offers throughout. This book will take some time to navigate through, but is thoroughly engaging and worth the time spent on.

Wikipedia has always been a community-based website available for free for all the users on the web. However, due to maintenance costs and other expenses, users were invited to donate money to the Foundation in order to keep the service alive and provide more and more articles to the web.

Wikipedia is the world’s eighth biggest website, but it has a measly 15 full-time employees, up from last year’s even more measly 10. It will use the Sloan cash to fund quality improvements and to up staff levels to 25 people.

As Sue Gardner, executive director of the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, notes, Wikipedia has been “operating on a shoestring: unable to pursue partnerships, execute projects, or even to effectively fund raise. This institutional support from Sloan will enable us to make progress on some key goals: increasing quality, broadening participation, and distributing free knowledge to people without Internet connectivity.”
