Entrepreneur or Inventor?
Posted in: Entrepreneur, Innovation Tags: Entrepreneur, flexible, inventor, investor, passion
Lately I have read, listened to and viewed many articles, blogs, views, opinions about investors and entrepreneurs.

This is my TED2009 story [TED = technology, entertainment and design]. It aims to give you a sense of what it feels like to be there. Some of this may seem like an insider’s story and I apologise for that. For 3.5 days we watched, heard, tasted [those who got the bread in Long Beach [...]

What gets nettified?
Posted in: Innovation Tags: Connecting, Future, nettification, nettify, networked organization
Previously I asked whether your business was being nettified. Now I’d like to ponder on what does get nettified or is being nettified. Nettify and nettification I found no dictionary results and only two other references to the word being used for this meaning. v. Nettified v.tr 1. To make web friendly 2.

Judging young net companies by their current state and making that an immutable “It is not the social network sites that are interesting — it is the social network itself” This is just one of the sorts of quips I have read lately on the state of affairs on the net. On the positive side [...]

I cannot believe this – how cool
Sometimes one just gets blown away how technology makes life easier! I have downloaded Air B2 on to my mac. I downloaded the version 2 of beta to enable Airpress. I had a problem, which was making it easier to interact with my blog on WordPress when I am offline and saving my blogs somewhere [...]

The pendulum swing

We are a very excitable lot, us humans. When we come up with something new we get all gung ho about its potential and impact. Once we’ve established that it is not going to happen quite so fast then we no longer notice the changes happening around us. Is that because we became rather blaze [...]
