2.0 Thinking
There is a lot of talk out there in the Value of Web 2.0/Social Media companies. Being an EIR at Highway 12 Ventures I’ve had the opportunity to discuss this in great detail with a lot of VC’s who are questioning how many social networks and ad monitized sites can you have? Web 2.0 is [...]
Why I like selfish bloggers. And why I’m selfish.
If you want to have a really popular blog, don’t follow my example. According to all the blogging “experts”, if you want a famously successful blog make all your posts about your readers and the benefit to them. Write nothing but top 10 lists and 12 steps to better whatever posts. Basically spoon feed all [...]
What’s in a name? New Communications Business
So I thought I’d explain the title of my blog: NewCommBiz I like things that are new. It doesn’t even really matter what it is, just new stuff in general really interests me. How/why is this new? Where did the idea come from? Who thought of the idea? Is this going to be a success? [...]

Slashdot | Is It Good For Business To Subsidize OSS Developers? Yes. tags: OSS, opensource, Linux, NCB Podcasting dead or alive? TrendsSpotting marketing indicators I don’t think we ever saw the full promise of podcasting many early adopters (myself included) were preaching. But I also think that the concept of podcasting has changed the way [...]
Using SMS to power the smart homes of the future
Image via Wikipedia I had an epiphany on the way home from running errands. (I’m sure I’m not the only one to think of this but I haven’t heard of any application that works this way.) We picked up a take-n-bake pizza and Jen wished we could warm up the oven remotely. One of the [...]
