A clarion call for digital media entrepreneurs

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Paul Ryan asked me to write a story for the June/July issue of Anthill about digital media and entrepreneurship. I ended up writing something about how it seems to me that digital media entrepreneurs require a higher code of ethics, a higher vision, than your run-of-the-mill online entrepreneurs.

Aussie Startups in Aust Financial Review

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Renai LeMay did a story on Aussie start-ups in today’s AFR. But, of course, I can’t link to it online, because the zombies running the Fin still have it locked up tighter that a fish’s asshole. Memo to Fairfax - it’s 2008! HELLO?
Anyhoo, the article is also up on MIS Magazine’s website and you can [...]

G’Day World #318 - Bill Liao

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Bill Liao is one of those guys I just love to talk to. He’s smart, successful, humble, visionary - and nice to boot. Just who the hell does he think he is?

G’DAY WORLD #312 - Wayne Turmel on Great Web Meetings

Monday, February 4th, 2008

I’m sure you have all sat in “virtual” meetings at your place of work that would have bored a monk. I remember sitting in on “virtual team meetings” in my Microsoft days when I and other members of the team would be playing each other on XBOX Live while our manager droned on. It doesn’t [...]

G’Day World #309 - Tinfinger

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Late last week, Paul Montgomery (CEO) and Tai Tran (CTO) invited themselves over to Casa del Reilly to give me the rundown on Tinfinger. It’s kind of like the new Who’s Who. But online. And open. Less stuffy than Wikipedia. And they will pay you to write profiles on the site. Pay you, that is, [...]
