Finally

It's taken a while, and Web 2.0 is already well underway, with thousands of new startups trying to get that venture capital, and this time they presumably have business plans that are slightly better than 'We've got a great plan for a website that reminds you to buy chapstick in winter...."  - yes that was the amazing plan behind echores, though I'm not sure what happened to them.  That was back in the day - '98 I think  - and living and working in silicone alley NYC gave me access to all these wonderful ideas :)

Now things have changed, and a number of VERY LARGE COMPANIES are quite successful.  I find it interesting that some of the more promising (but over-hyped) businesses from the boom years are re-appearing, and this time round they seem to be doing quite well.  A lot of this is related to improved infrastructure and improved access for everyone, so that suddenly 'always online' apps are starting to make a lot of sense.  You have to wonder how long it will be before Sun drags out the 'Network is the computer' marketing plan....

But enough of that - the focus here is just to say I've finally started this blog, to comment on and try to improve a number of things.  Along the way I hope to make some money, and perhaps influence a few people to create those products that I've always wanted. 

That's the goal - DREAM BETTER.
