If you do not know Tony Hsieh, nor Zappos.com, Tony is the CEO of Zappos.com, a website that started off primarily selling shoes online and now has been acquired by Amazon.com.

Tony launched his first book in June 2010 titled Delivering Happiness which I had a post on earlier.

For as long as I know or got to learn about this, Tony has been touring the US giving talks about his book and Zappos company culture.

So if you have not read the book, check out his talk or presentation made in Google, Mountain View about most of what he wrote.

The video will take 55 minutes, so if you do not have time, come back to it later.

Good To Know
Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion and Purpose made it to number one on The New York Times Bestseller List.

Been asked by a friend recently.

Should I get a HTC or a iPhone?

I know she meant HTC as an Android phone, because right now, all HTC is focusing is on Android platform.
My reply was “Since you ask me, I will only say HTC.”
Not that I have an iPhone though. 🙂

Anyways, I’d recommend checking out the HTC Desire, with a promotional package from Maxis.

I was recently selected by Maxis for the Maxis10 review campaign on the HTC Desire Android phone.

Read my reviews on it from my personal Android blog.
