Quick Thoughts

I'm back from Milan and completely swamped trying to catch up with everything, so I've decided to provide some quick thoughts:
  • HD video online has a long way to go. Especially in Europe.
  • Sales and business development are so much easier when people are calling you. That starts with great product development.
  • Silly, public spats between members of the NextNY and/or Newtech e-mail lists are a waste of everyone's time.
  • Spending too much time reading RSS feeds isn't good. It's okay to hit 'mark all as read.' You'll find out about this or that news eventually.
  • There's no way you can or should participate in every single beta launch out there.
  • There is huge market opportunity in Western Europe for providing easy access to online services.
  • Don't try to be everything to everyone, you'll end up being useless to all involved; including yourself.
  • Networking events are a waste of time unless you have something productive to add.
Back to work.

quick question - I saw a post of yours on some other site about xobni - you said you were able to download - as you know they are on beta - invite only. Not sure on the file size but I would love to get my hands on a copy - Let me know if you would be able to provide me with what you downloaded - if not or no time to deal with such a request - no prob

Hi Dave,

I doubt I still have the file. They closed the open downloads literally hours after I got it.

In any case, from what I can tell, you need to have an account with them for it to work. I'm sure they must be opening up sometime soon.

Best,

Andrew
