The reason I chose the username sexism – is that I originally was opening a blog on wordpress to post on sexism – and how to get around it. I work with 40 startups and there are nearly NO GIRLS – and what does that mean for my 2 daughters?

http://obvious.com is the new startup from Evhead and BizStone – and I must say its weird and cool like only these guys can be. Exptremely outspoken – without saying a lot. The REM of web2.0 or maybe Web3 .0.

Ev gave me the guts to go all in on blogging and keeps impresing me with his posts:

I wonder if the royal Danish glass design company really had these intentions

9 months ago Zecco was a bizz idea – yesterday our guys took it live with a power Ive NEVER SEEN BEFORE. And we got 20 times more accounts opened then we where even dreaming of first day.
Enjoy the video its about a free launch :)

HelloGroup has done everything on this – and gives me a wink that we have a good model for the future.

Yesterday I have had contact to 5 startups (3 meetings) who all wants to get a part of the online video pie.

I did have www.TomSnak.dk *bougth from Mie and Gorm 2000 – with enourmous traffic already by then.

YouTube is going to be sold soon at sky(pe) high evaluation. And Nik and Jay boys will launch TheVeniceThings – whatever that is…

www.Zecco.com – The time is now for a disruptive approach aimed at the US brokerage industry. There is absolutely no reason consumers should accept paying anywhere from $10 to $20 for a service that is easy to provide at no charge at all.

Since the arrival of online brokerages in the early 1990’s aggressive competition have helped reduce commissions from an initial high of $40. But while competition remains fierce massive customer acquisition costs makes it difficult for the industries larger players to reduce cost further.

Mentioning – Zecco on News.Google.com

this is fun and Im stupid to help by linking ;)

This fantastic story – again on Techcrunch. Im just hoping the VERY BEST.

My food pusher website has taken a day off :) – thas not how I normally think about online.

I dont get this one – damn – I like the people behind – but I really dont get it.

Reboot.dk is live – its better then ever. And today Thomas Mygdal showed his inside knowledge on Tech – by putting ThePirateBay.org on stage – the day after they where raided in Sweden.

Some days ago 35mio US veterans got their identity leaked by some government arm. And when I use some new webservices they have an IMPORT FUNCTION – to import all addresses from YahooMail, Gmail… I can see this ID Theft going ballistic the next coming years.. DAMN It stupid.

So when I turn 65 my grandchildren will ask me: “So Granny how was life back then with Secure Identity and no obesity ?”.

Ii must say that I respect the Red Herring team and organisation very much / for their way of keeping a high standard at the endless stream of conferences. RESPECT! And for the networking these conferences are GOOD+. Only minus is the crazy price.

Web business has a glimse of FASHION (people want new just to get new) – and for the smart (anti Yuppie) new generation of Startups (development companies) the initial cost of TAKING ON THE BIG ESTABLISHMENT IS VERY LOW. I have earlier been mentioning the Wunderkids from 37signals – with probably more users of their NO BRAINIER WEBSERVICES (not negative) in the SMB segment then Microsoft Business Solutions and for sure SAP. Not to mention www.successfactors.com who have +1,5mio B2B users on their people management ASP solution ;) – BRAVO BINGO – go home Mr. Selfish SuperEgo EllisonCopy Salesforce.com.

Im fallow a bit in love with the hyped guys at Shopify – who are smarter then the rest.
1) Shopify did a small friends and family round (Aug. 2005)
1A) – the founders don’t take salary (love it !)
1AA) – that gives them 12 more months

2) – they use free software (

Ruby, bit too hyped though

)

3) – they play the buzz game better then even Mcculley Culkin in the early 90�ies. Even without launching (could backfire – but better the being stealth for life ;)

These clips: Octo Eats Shark and Ninja Monkey– is a good entertainment. Google Video is in my opinion a better service then the very hip and VC-topiced Youtube.com

This guy has my respeck – trying to trade upwards – starting with a Red PaperClip

And this guy who wnated a threesome with his wife :)

Brilliant -> http://preview.netvibes.com/ – now with tabs – I will do a big bet on this as the future of collaboration

Russ – has comment of the week – after Writely is sold to Google:

Alright! Weve got ourselves another winner! Congratulations to Writely – the latest winner in the Web 2.0 Acquisition Lottery! Sorry to all the other web-WYSIWYG editors out there for losing out on this time. Don¿t fret, however, another round for deals with AOL, MSN or Yahoo! will have begun today, I¿m sure. Step right this way folks, you too can play! Dont delay!

-Russ

PS. Its cool that OddPost and Toni did a Web2.0 sale 2years ago.
PPS. It gives great hope entrepreneursuers – but remember outthere – its not so easy – and you cant really sell a company – companies get bought.
