Its nice to see ventures and things breaking trough – I have been hunting online business models and revenue since 1997 and I cannot say that I have been too succesfull until now – but halleluja – its feel like its coming. I could not care less if the Bank in US have done som wacked loans and there are trouble – (its was fu… obvious anyway that US economy is a big cracked up – when I go there and cant sleep due to jetlag – and see commercials (super wellproduced) telling me that I can get a nice car without paying 1$ up front and even have 5000$ cashback – ehhh – thats not healthy – sorry. I could not care less about this – because this time the internet will not be as affected by the outside – the interenet is now a 70-80% ecoloob where money are made – even though super efficient – and services are created and payed for (see mail Google Storage note).
Notes:
Zecco - is truely amazing!
Palore – lead by super entrepanuer Hanan Lifshitz was featured on Scoble (the big kahuna in blogging) – after a very very very hard start I think Palore can be BIG BIG !!
Kontera – lead by ultra nice Yoav – is growing VERY FAST now and makes god money !!
HelloGroup.com´s 60 people - makes money and delivers a super product – CEO Jakob Langemark is a KING.
and I could go on and on….
Being in synch – or at least believing you are
Heini and the BullGuard guys was trying to get the new iPhone dog to advertise BullGuard 2 years ago – 100% LA style – this creature has a manager and pr assistant I have been a fan of Pierre Winther since 1994 – and I sence that he is getting he artistic breaktrough this year..
Also about websites and services:
Zyb.com is really good - Linkedin is impressing me – nice new features – The new PorteFolio business magazine from Conde Nast seems good (I love their print magazine on travel – and Im aware that its not very socialistic – sorry). Twitter is getting really a pain in the a.. Facebook seems to be the next VERY BIG thing – its hard to find time for all these LinkedIn, Plaxo – but its a darn smart and efficient way to find the people you need… 23hq.com is super – I do have an multi upload problem but its a SUPER SERVICE. I ended at this website – showing quite a couple of new online revenue stream I did not know
And THE VERY BEST OF ALL – GMAIL (and Google services – Im on Maps all the time) – yesterday I finaly got the chance to upgrade my storage – wow – these guys are kicking asssss!!!! Google Checkout took care of a SUPER EASY BUYING PROCESS and now I have 100GB of space for my MAIL (it was full all the time) – pictures and whatever comes up – I recon that its not hard for them to see what music I like (after crawling my mails and the adwords starts to get my attention now and then…

I simple adore Apple for their bility to keep being cooler then the rest – also because I know how much (endless) Samsung and Sony and … are putting into the war on cool design. I silently hope that Normann Copenhagen will get to that level within Industrial design – and the Woofy.
Financial Crisis ?
I love people who really get exited about stuff
