As Tomi T Ahonen says on his blog: " In that nightmare of bad news that has been the Nokia saga this past 15 months or so, one profit warning after another, mass layoffs and market share collapse, something beautiful is arising from the ashes.{...} here is another very strong early stage startup in mobile, someone whose pedigree is platinum and whose management team is titanium."

Contributing to open source-an idea worth spreading
Hey you open source fanatics, watch this revealing and instructional video about a farmer who built his own tractor in 6 days while also setting a solid brick on the foundation of open source hardware.
PS: future belongs to open source, and here is a non-Android example that proves it.

The IPO season
With this post I am taking a small break from my trials and errors with sorting through mobile related technicalities (in my learning process of mobile marketing), as I happened to stumble upon a very interesting article on IPO stipulations in the start-up, tech and online sector, Groupon Vs. Zynga: Which Company Will Be More Valuable Post-IPO?, appearing on TechCrunch. It just happened that today, while savouring business icon, Alan Sugar`s biographical book "Alan Sugar: What you see is what you get. My aoutobiography", I happened to turn the page on the chapter about how his company, Amstrad, went public. What a coincidence and what an interesting perspective over the IPO process now and some 30 years ago!
Anyway, I think this article should be bookmarked as my personal view is that we might be experiencing the second dotcom bubble in its making. In case I am wrong, than virtual is really worth investing in and it will become the business model of the future decades to come. I guess we are talking about a trial and error approach here as well haha.
An excerpt from the article published by TechCrunch: "This is the season of the IPO. So far, 2011 has seen companies like LinkedIn, Pandora, Yandex, Zillow, and RenRen come to market. As you’ve heard, Groupon and Zynga are next up in the IPO pipeline, with both companies arriving on public markets within weeks of each other. Groupon, barring some catastrophic event, will begin trading publicly on NASDAQ November 4th, with shares set at $20 a pop at a valuation of $12.7 billion."( Amstrad was valued at £8m in 1980)

Pearls in the sea
Today I have discovered yet another super interesting blog, written by a start-up entrepreneur who shares his experience in go-to-market strategies. Update your textbook, check this out http://startup-marketing.com/the-startup-pyramid/ and start using your brains.
(Note:today`s pace of change and innovation makes any new text book ... seem already old as soon as it gets on the shelf. The Marketing Principles/Armstrong franchise has been releasing new editions almost every year but I expect more from their sections on marketing in the digital era).
Adios
