835.300 $ (!!!) since 26th August `05 – this world is CRAZY!

Just found some Screenshots on Felix´s Flickr Stream – looks like a mobile Version of Plazes? have you already heard of it? This certainly would make sense – Plazes „classic“ reads the mac-adress of your your router to determine in which place you are – will plazes „mobile“ get the cell-adress?

Ever wanted to switch to Linux? Just follow these simple ten rules – they will ensure, that you´ll sometime forget what a virus or a trojan was… 🙂 (via doc´s new site arameya.com)

www.dnsstuff.com – even ask if your listed on some Spam-Lists. Useful!

Since about one week we are experiencing a wave of new spam – it´s „undeliverable-spam“ – send under the name of our domain. It´s always a message back from some unkown recipient, that our mail was undeliverable. The mails are sent by some temporarily dial-up smtp servers. So, anyone got a hint what to do? I´m a little bit afraid this spam – wave will kick us on some blabklists.

UPDATE: made a report to the local police – don´t expect much to happen, but want to be sure to have done every imaginable step.

Have you seen the latest video from madonna: hung up? Wow, she´s really the hippest queen – but does she have something to hide? Watched MTV this morning since ages and saw the video – was impressed and surprised – but have a look for yourself:

Can you see the strange brown nilons she is wearing half-leg-long? When watching the movie its hardly seeable. Mh, I think this is a bit sad – I mean, Madonna had the chance to change the view on women in their „best years“ – she is really pretty, has an amazing body – why does she hide her „problems“. Go Madonna – behave like a strong lady, and stand for it…

Everybody is talking about Web 2.0 – Ajax, webservices and a thousand more buzzwords make the blogs headlines. But it is time for Web 3.0, or better Web 4.0 because there´s no linear progression in the way the internet gets deeper into our lives.

What we are experiencing at the moment with Web 2.0 is the beginning of the „humanizing“ of the internet: social software gives people a voice, individuals are using the web expressing themselves to the whole world, web interfaces are getting easier so that more and more people are able to use it.

But the future will bring us more individualization and more live communication. Take skype for example – they´ve started with audio but their future will be video live conferencing – on your mobile, everywhere. This is important: with the technology to have IP Networks everywhere there will raise new markets people can work in: From your personal fitness trainer, who advises you with your fitness excercises at home, to the professional cook, who you can book online to help you at your birthday meal in the kitchen – live via videoconferencing – the web will be the enabler to bring humans together everywhere in the world. Helpdesks for software-support will be normal – on a click you´ll get LIVE, PERSONAL advise from a helpdesk-staff, who will be able to help you with your computer problems – be it from india or any other place in the world. So this all has consequences. First of all the traffic will raise in an unbelieveable speed. This means demand for more and more hardware ressources: go! Invest in cisco! Secondly there´ll be a great demand for synchronization: there´ll be no more difference between mobile internet, wifi, or hardwire – take google for example: they are building the first free wifi network! This means, that you will have access to your data everywhere, anytime. You´ll use your private profile to pay your parking space, to buy your books, to get your seats of your shared car into the saved positions. Third, everything will be „on demand“: videos, eBooks, psychological help, netdoctors, financial consulting: from humans to humans.

Let´s call it the „rules of the small“: some big companies will enable all the small ones to do their business: amazon will develop from a „vendor“ to an „enabler“ a „connector“, connecting humans to create new marketspaces through conversations AND trust. Doctors will use conversation-places to be connected to their patients – and they are able to chose between the most trustworthy doc´s. Millions of computer experts will be able to help you with your computer problems. This is why eBay bought skype, and this is why Google makes free wifi: control the communication of the individuals, and you have business model of he future.

….and yes: there will be 1.000.000 same jokes 😉
