Tony Fish, a member of Gerbsman Partners Board of Intellectual Partners was featured in NY Times on April 14th. The article, “Getting your business ready for Mobile 2.0”, is an excellent example on Mobile 2.0 issues that arise in with the technology.

“To better understand the coming of Mobile 2.0, indeed it is important to first understand the arrival of Web 2.0. Web 2.0 is a new generation of Web-based applications, like widgets, social networks, and collaboration tools that are quickly transforming the landscape of the Internet itself.”

Mobile Video Broadcast

Posted in Community, Intellectual capital, Investments, Java, Mobile, Mobile Phone Usage, Social Networks, Sun Microsystems, Technology, Web 2.0, Wireless, Wireless 2.0 on March 28, 2008| Leave a Comment »

flixwagon_logo.jpgRecently, Mashable, Techcrunch and others have posted some good articles on mobile broadcast video. A number of companies have recently launched Mobile broadcast services; FlixWagon, Qik and Youtube´s recent addition of direct upload capabilities in the Latest API all supports this trend – mobile broadcast.

Where I am very skeptical to the live mobile-to-web broadcast option, the pre-packaged service to record and upload mobile video directly is neat and useful. The problem of the mobile video and mobile broadcast today is that while it is recorded on mobile, users download the clip to their PC´s and then uploaded to the web – which limits many good clips to reach the masses on the web through its complexity.

These small Java applications are easy to install and easy to use. With the pre-set upload assistance, mobile videos are uploaded directly to the web either as live streams or saved clips. Where geeks and techies where the only ones capable of this before, anyone can now make it happen. I wonder how quickly manufacturers and Telco´s will jump on this and pre-install these applications and affiliations to drive usage and network traffic.

Useful Web 2.0 thoughts from JP Allen

Posted in Board Of Intellectual Capital, Community, Gerbsman Partners, Investments, Social Networks, Technology, Web 2.0 on February 11, 2008| Leave a Comment »

I just browsed into an interesting article on the knowledge sharing using web 2.0 technology. this article makes for some very good reading.

“What really impresses me about the big Web 2.0 sites is how they use familiar metaphors in new ways. By starting from what we already know (such as profiles, groups, ratings, and ‘friends’), people naturally understand why it might be useful, fun, and easy to add their own online contributions…”

LinkedIn invites developers to enhance network

Posted in BusinessWeek, Community, FaceBook, LinkedIn, OpenSocial, Social Networks, Technology, Web 2.0 on December 13, 2007| Leave a Comment »

linkedin1.jpgLinkedIn will soon release an open API where 3rd party developers will be able to aggregate profile data to enhance the user experience and productivity for LinkedIn’s users with widgets and other enhancing applications.

The company, which was the fastest-growing social network in October, has attracted about 17 million registered users globally and about 5 million unique visitors in the United States in October. Answering to the competition from Facebook and others, LinkedIn will use Google´s OpenSocial structure to open their “made-for-business” service.

 

One example that LinkedIn has crafted is in a partnership with BusinessWeek. Visitors to the BusinessWeek site, who place their mouse pointers over certain keywords will trigger a pop-up box detailing how many of their LinkedIn contacts are related to the company or keyword.

Finally, the Web 2.0 is making its way into productivity and business applications for real. Social Networking has long been a supernova on the horizon and hordes of people are using them. With this entry into business tools like LinkedIn´s network – Web 2.0 will now be available for business users as well.
