غرور بلدي وجهة نظر

Did you know there were 6.6 billion people and 3.3 billion cellphone subscribers in October 2007? 60% take mobile phone to bed every night.

I agree with Tomi saying: “I’ve been saying for a long time now, that mobile is to the internet, like TV was to radio, a far more compelling and soon-to-be dominating mass media platform.”

Do you want to know why today is not the same as yesterday? Get a new book from Tomi T Ahonen called Mobile as 7th of the Mass Media.

If you blast your message out to anyone who will listen, aiming for a quick profit, the Internet won’t bring you any more business than standing on a street corner with a megaphone.

If your activities contribute to building long-term, trusting relationships with prospective clients and referral sources, you’ll get business on the web.

The film covers Michael Moore’s 62-city tour of the marginal states in America just before the 2004 elections in a bid to convince the US’s twentysomething slacker generation to get up off their arses and get down to the polling stations.

Michael Moore’s latest documentary feature “Slacker Uprising” will be available for free and for keeps online on 23rd September.

Web 2.0 Consulting story

“I can’t get WEB 2.0 working on my Windows Vista. Damn”

Beee, Beee, Beee

Kevin Mitnick – nesporno računalniški genij. Heker. Pravzaprav etični heker. Danes zagotovo eden najboljših strokovnjakov na področju informacijske varnosti. Toda pred leti v samico zaprt kriminalec v enem najbolj varovanih ameriških zaporov … Oblasti so ga – kot hekerja – obtožile skorajšnjega jedrskega napada. Te iste oblasti ga danes najemajo, da v vladnih organizacijah in največjih multinacionalkah odkriva in rešuje »računalniške luknje«. Zgodba, ki bi lahko bila filmska. Pa ni. To je resnična zgodba, ki smo jo lahko slišali tudi Novogoričani.

Today I went to see a presentation by Neel Sundaresan, the director of eBay Research Labs and a distinguished research scientist. He held an interesting lecture beginning with an “Ultimate reject letter“.
