Gurgaon 3 Years on.

November 12, 2009

I spent most of 2006 in Gurgaon, India. Although an ancient town, at that time the new mall capital of India was roughly five years old. Today it’s not yet 10 and yet after two visits there, this trip it felt surprisingly more lived in. Three years ago I was shocked by the generators in [...]

Examples like @davewiner on iPhone and techcrunch (http://bit.ly/msrkq) suggest "tipping point" of negatism coming. #civiltech I don't care how sexy the environment is as a user or a developer, the fact that Apple holds up apps and rejects them often because they compete with their own software is to me like buying a coat made [...]

The Drive for Education is the Real Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid

November 11, 2009

I’ve just recently (before eComm) returned from a month in India with the Mosoci team completing multiple projects, with people from all walks of life. One way or another I’ve completed almost 100 immersions and in-depth interviews or read the transcriptions thereof. I’ve met people from all walks of life, rural, city migrants, entrepreneurs, managers [...]

Is this really 2015? What would your Scenario be?

November 11, 2009

Just imagine you woke up in 2015. What would you be doing? How would you be interacting with technology? “Nokia – life in 2015″ When I think out six years to 2015 I expect my interactions with technology will be different, I expect we will be describing different types of behaviors. I also find single [...]

R.I.P. Russell Ackoff with a great set of quotes! Thanks @jonhusband I'm generally with @gigaom that the N900 is the the future for Nokia at the intelligent rather than status end of the market. It's sad to see the launch of the N900 is a mere bleep in the US after the Droid launch this [...]

What’s your mobile location strategy? Twitter and the GPSURL

November 10, 2009

Yesterday @JonHusband (Wirearchy) sent me a NYTimes link on “Refining the Twitter Explosion”. I always appreciate links like this. They are often good pointers and make me think harder about their importance. In a response to Jon I found myself writing more than expected and later thought I’d share my general response below. I don’t [...]

Should a Social Skype add Skeets? How does Skype compete with Twitter? A Rant!

November 10, 2009

I’d love to see Skype follow Brian McConnell’s advice on @gigaom and add an open status updating mechanism.  See my “Skype Will Never Beat Facebook from Jan09 so this isn’t the first time it has been discussed in the Skypeosphere. However, he has to go further and I believe Twitter is equally dangerous and may [...]

Another indicator that lists and geolocation will bring new innovation to the Twitterverse. Seesmic update… The problem with lists in Twitter is it is just too hard to add people. Enabling it in your Twitter App makes it much easier to create lists overtime when their name comes up. At least that is what I'm [...]
