In 2000, from Netjuice I invented a business model I called digital profiles.  Curiously, for the first time that I know of, several aspects of the model were very similar to the current concepts of social networks.  We started the patent process, but then, when the bubble burst, we could not continue any longer since [...]

What does it mean to be global from the beginning?  Having a global business vision you want to launch.  What are the most obvious premises?  The approach must have a minimum destination of three countries in the first two years of the company.  The software should be multilingual and the employees should - if possible, [...]

According to what I read in this Baquía article, Apple wants to have their users geolocalized at all times with their iPhones and iPads.  Steve Jobs doesn’t stop.  Now he wants to become the “natural partner” in any sector that wants to geoposition their clients and, logically, earn money with it.

E-Commerce of the future must be reinvented.  It cannot be a continuation of the physical models we know now, weighed down by their isolated limits, their logic anchored in the 20th Century, and their client interface models dependent upon personal contact.
The future should arise from, within a connected universe, logistical services still to be invented [...]

It seems the alliance against Google is making new friends among the Internet greats, and the agreement between Yahoo and Facebook could give new life to Flickr.  Flickr’s integration tool for Facebook makes it possible and creates a new link between both players.
The agreement also has a  major reason, integrating Flickr, up ’til now a [...]

You must admit that Steve Jobs always has an ace up his sleeve.  Now he is proving just that with the unveiling of his public platform.  iAds for the iPhone and iPad.  We all know it will succeed, but I don’t think everyone understands what this means.  In an environment that leans toward no cost, [...]
