Lately I’ve been listening to a number of podcasts (this branch of internet-sport seems to be growing up a little bit) and one of my favourites are the talks given by entrepreneurs at the Stanford Technology Ventures Program. This program has set up Stanford Educator’s Corner, with a motherload of video, podcasts and other material related to entrepreneurship. Well worth a visit if entrepreneurship is your thing.
In addition, recently, all publications on the Wharton School online business journal, Knowledge@Wharton, can be broadcasted as podcast. An interesting publiation at the moment on Knowledge@Wharton is “Prime Time No More: The Television Industry Struggles Against Digital Distribution Upstarts“, it elaborates on the future of the television industry and video content in general. By clicking on this link you can download the audio file of this particular publication. You can subscribe to the Knowledge@Wharton Podcast stream here:

Today the second match of the Dutch play-offs, my club, Ajax fairly beat arch-enemy Feyenoord with 2-4 in their home city, Rotterdam. Last Thursday in Amsterdam, Ajax hit the ball out of the park to outclass Feyenoord in the Amsterdam Arena. It was one of the best matches this season played in the Arena and fortunately I was eye-witness

As an emerging technology trend watcher it’s always interesting to watch how mainstream media is gradually picking up a story that you already have discovered. That’s exactly what is happening at the moment with the Web 2.0 concept.
Newsweek put Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake, the Canadian dot-com stars who created the photo-sharing community Flickr, on the cover of its April 3 issue, to go with Steven Levy and Brad Stone’s terrific story “The New Wisdom of the Web“. And just today, ABCNews.com is running an report to introduce newbies to the Web 2.0 idea, see “The Next Generation Internet” (streaming video, 8 minutes).
Among mainstream publications, Business Week seems more aware of the phenomenon than most others. It followed up its excellent cover package “Blogs Will Change Your Business” from May 2005, with a December covery story, “The MySpace Generation“.
Update: Today BusinessWeek published another article on social networking “Social Networking’s Gold Rush“.

There are several webpages that have become part of my daily routine one of them is Flickr. However I always have to control myself cause browsing on Flickr can extend itself to extremely time consuming. BusinessWeek reported yesterday in this article that social-networking sites like MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr amongst others are finally starting to make money. My top favourites are LinkedIn and Flickr, although I haven?t tried many others.
On Flickr I always admire the people that are way more artistic as I am when taking photos and stuff. Sometimes I wish that my eyes were observing the world in a more artistic way. However at the other hand each person has its own competences and capabilities, therefore we have to be proud of what us is given and make the most of our own talents.
If you have some time, please check out my Flickr favourites and start explorer the ubiquitous world of photos!

Today I came a cross this article that elaborate on entrepreneurs who will probably going to shake up the Tech world within the next few years. Some familiar and unfamiliar faces are popping up in the list. It came to me that this research was limited to the USA, although it is highly likely that the next Tech generation once again will come from America. Since Europe and it’s innovation platform is still lagging behind and the emerging markets are still in the process of catching up. A more detailed report can be found here.
