This was going to be a really long post about web office suites. but I found this video from common craft that really says it all and I do not want to exceed myself.

This mini post is just to say that I’ll be one of tomorrow’s 215 confirmed attendants at the meeting in Palermo Valley.

As a plus, this is a good article about networking abilities I found at Palermo valley’s blog.

Many people out there  recommend (and explain why) to buy a mac with a conviction that resembles that of the most radicalised blood-signed-contract fanatics. Me for example

Macs are, beyond discussion, a bit more expensive machines, really difficult to tune up in hardware that usually ship more in capability than more of 90% of the consumers use.

The list of good reasons to buy a mac is also long and it is everywhere. However, if you are an entrepreneur, I think you should at least fulfill 3 of these 5 reasons to buy a mac.

1. You are relatively new to computers: Most people won’t try a new system just because it is new. They have to learn all, all over again. So, maybe, bad learned, why bother
2. you don’t like dealing with trouble: beyond the cruel truth (Macs being just  7% of US market) Macs almost never give you any trouble, and there is only one known virus over the las 5 years)
3. Image matters. If so, your only option is Mac.
4. Safe buy: In normal work conditions, a Mac will not grow old (that means it won’t become outdated) before 3 years passed. You’ll find it does all you want afterwords too.
5. If you are in a startup stage, presentations and all, the Mac is a great choice. It is great for presentations, it looks great, you have a remote, great projector compatibility. This reason alone could justify the mac purchase.

I remember when market research was a million dollar thing to do… Ok, I don’t, maybe I’m to young to remember, but I can imagine how hard it could have been without the Internet.

Think of any way to start a market research, a cheap one, that does not start at the world wide web. Difficult ha? And maybe even more difficult if you try not to think of Google.

So here is how we do it. We turn on the web, and Google our thing. That’s (usually) it .Today I want to say a couple of thing about that.

1. Try different search engines.
   • A9
   • Google
   • Ask
   • Yahoo
   • Technorati
2. And then…
   • Go through clicks when your looking, click and click, and please try to read, don’t look for numbers
   • Different engines may give you different results, try a couple no matter what is your favorite, and don’t forget to search for images
   • When you’re looking for market data on blog, look at the blogroll, numbers must be somewhere
   • Bookmark everything, social bookmarking is growing really fast, some other person was probably looking for the same thing and maybe what you’re looking for is already bookmarked. Search in Del.icio.us too!
