So, I guess Russ has lost his vision for a „new google in the mobile world“ 😉 They are obviously there, giving location based services, and search requests.
UPDATE: google-blog itself posts about this, too
If you want to

China is world leader in DSL
It seems as if china will become world leadership in DSL-connections. This is because of the dense population in the big cities, where it is quite cheap to deliver the connections. Additionaly state authorities are forcing online education. Another big hit will be „video-on-demand“. (taken from bbc) This will be an interesting thing…;-)
This is a big day
for our company today: as you might have followed, we have worked on our project „motionet“ for the last 10 month. motionet is flash-based internet-streaming technology of a new generation: we are able to stream to every internet user with an installed flash-plugin, recognizing his connection speed automatically, and serving him the suitable version in the right size of the movie. Our streams are up to 200% bigger at the same file-size than other systems. Even streaming mobile flash content will be available soon. Further on we have developed motionet in an absolutely accessible way: even people with color-blindness or handicapped people with viewing problems, are able to control the player via shortcuts. We are on a test-drive on the „Bundesministerium für Gesundheit und soziale Sicherung (BMGS)“ – site, which is the german government department for social security and health. If you want to do us a favour you might visit the site, choose „Flash -> automatisch“,
and vote for „flash-player“ in the survey at the bottom of the player
. Thanks everybody who made this work possible.
Knowledge „to go“
change.this has very good pdf-downloads for different themes: guerilla marketing, business, stories. The nice thing is, that they are well designd and available as pdf download – they have the perfect format to download and take away on your notebook to have stuff to read on the train… I like them very much.
This land is my land…
This land is my land, this land is your land, is a wondeful parody on the existing mud-battler of W. and John.
Ever need to write a businessplan?
Thoughts on picking your VC
This post by Jeff Nolan has some interesting thoughts on the relationship between investors and startups – and I agree, that the communication and interaction between the both parties has to come from the CEO – and it has to be a very strong one. Your investor should understand and LIKE the things you do – but his primary focus should be on the money – he should have a controlling function, deeply involved in running the business, making contacts, getting new ideas. . While building up a new technology my thoughts go around finding venture capital,too – and I see, that finding the right investor will be a hard job.
This new searchengine
seems to be really interesting: clusty, beta gives you stron results, and a result bar on the left hand – it really fitted the results when I was typing in my name, giving links to friends of mine, and comments I made in several weblogs. Nice tool…
It´s getting serious
TVIP (TV over IP) is going to hit 15,7 mio viewers by 2007, in contrast to a few houndred thousands at the moment. (yahoo/REUTERS). So I think, we are on a good way at the right time…(site will be fully online tomorrow, the 29.09.04)
