In a previous blog I have stated how great the iPhone is. It is so great that we use it for sales presentations while on the road. The Flashy-ness of the phone really lends itself to presentations. Of course, Hollywood has placed Apple products for years based upon the same reasoning.

After committing myself to not being an early technology adopter I have gone and done it. That is, I bought an iPhone. I have owned many smartphones and PDA's which now rattle around in my desk drawer. I cannot throw them away because of how much money I spent on them only to find them completely worthless 9-12 months later.

Just this morning I read a brief article in BioIT World by Michael Greeley a managing general partner of IDG Ventures. The article makes the the important point that academic institutions are full of innovation and represent a portfolio of inventions that have high commercial potential. Of course, the potential is only realized with seasoned management. No argument here.

However, he makes the case that VC's are not tapping into this value and would be well served to do so.

On Dec 29, 2007 the Wall Street Journal published an article called "VC's New Math: Does Less = More?". The article showcases the approach of Peter Thiel's Founders Fund and their recent success with Facebook. Their approach seems to make some sense.

Guy Kawasaki made an interesting point at an innovation presentation I attended yesterday. He recognized that when building a business based on a new innovation it is vital to stay focused.

Innovators have many ideas for new products or services that could fit into many different markets and as a result, I believe, are not focused. However, to be successful one has to focus. Investors want to see a focused plan, employees need a clear target and customers need a clear message.

Yesterday I went to a presentation by Guy Kawasaki (the famous Apple Evangelist) on innovation. What a great presentation--more on that in another blog. On his last slide he promoted his new website called Truemors which he called "NPR for the eyes". At first I thought, "I do not have time for another website". But, I went anyway (his self-promotion worked!). It is a cool site where you can find interesting non-headline stories. I went straight for

Mike Gotta in his blog Collaborative Thinking brought up an interesting topic on "Presence" in his blog Social Presence: We Need To Push The Reset Button. Most people know presence by way of instant messaging. They log-in to their instant messenger or chat application and their "presence" appears to all other users in their "buddy list". For the most part this is where it ends. However, it need not end there.
