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.
