Thinking about starting an entrepreneurial venture? On my personal blog,Mike Dorsey.info, I follow Paul Graham's observations, and I argue that it is a lot easier than ever before. Does that make internet startups a commodity? An entrepreneur myself, I prefer not to think about myself as a 'commodity' just yet, but I understand the point. Could we say that entrepreneurs are still exciting,

Oh my god. This is the first product that I can honestly say I will purchase, no matter what the price is. I'm not one to watch product releases, wait in line to be the first to buy the product, or even a real supporter of Apple. But sweet mother of all that is right in this world. Watch this product release of the IPhone... Top reasons I will own an IPhone as soon as it's possible. 1. My

This whole mapping mashup web 2.0 thing has brought about some wild innovations in the way we see maps, images, weather, and sattellite views. For example, check out WeatherBonk.com, which has Crazy Map / Weather info mashups from Digg and John Battelle. For example, you can get live weather video feeds with "views from over 8000 worldwide weather cams." See the pins to the right showing the

What is Web 3.0? Is it anything different from Web 2.0? What ever happened to Web 2.1? Also, learn about BitTorrent and how this huge file sharing network's technology transforms file sharing. Recently, this company raised $20 million in funding, struck deals with several major content providers, and has even made another recent purchase, of uTorrent. Plus, we the changes in how we process

Web 2.0 - read and write as opposed to read-only.... based around community sharing and programs where adding another user actually makes the product more valuable. Almost all free stuff, too! Technorati - great for filtering through the different blogs Flickr/Photobucket/Snapfish - photo sharing sites that enable us to share photos, sort through them, tag then, and keep track of them YouTube/

Something we've spoken about on the blog - but Google's reach continues expanding. Adwords and Adsense are massive revenue generating machines (~10billion annually), but Google started asking itself a while back...'why can't we use this same advertising network, syndication technology, and ranking algorithms - and apply this fancy competitive advantage to other ad media.' That's why you see ads

Two questions I'm pondering in anticipation of next week's show. (1) How is Web 2.0 defined (new tools? big financial deals? converging technological advances?) (2) Is this a bubble? If so, is it likely to burst? I want look at this from a mathematical perspective; I've heard so many anectodal comments, but it's surprising how many factual accounts I've heard. From what perspective

Wouldn't you know... Last week, everyone is bemoaning how YouTubs is a litigation nightmare. "Once they start making money, everyone's going to sue them," "They're a copyright nightmare." "All the big movie companies are going to pounce on them." Now look how different things look. Google, one of the smartest companies on earth, just decided to purchase this organization.

Helio needs to know their market… I’m going to be honest. When someone told me that they were going to bring South Korean cellular technology to the US, I got excited. My Cingular contract was month to month, my Nokia 6230 was looking old and drab even though it did everything I needed it to do, and my mouth was salivating over the thought of a snazzy, well designed phone that would let me

Nokia has been on overdrive this past week with announcements in a variety of different sectors. The company released information on September 28th including its deal with Intel to include its cellular data transfer technology, HSPDA, in the next version of the Centrino processor. This means that all new Centrino laptops (beginning in spring 2007) would not only have built in WiFi hotspot

YouMail just called me! The General Manager of YouMail, a new web based voicemail enhancement service (not too be confused with male enhancement) just called to find out my feed back on his product.
