Finally a business model for Facebook: write to Zuckerberg for 100$
In 2001 many investors swore and swore that they would never again be caught in an Internet bubble like the one in 2000, and twelve years later a 27 year old guy is messing it up again. Zuckerberg took Facebook public last summer at a valuation of $100mM and if revenues were clear....
Whoever can be replaced by a robot will be replaced by a robot.
This news about Foxconn, a Chinese company that employs 1.2 million people and manufactures for Apple, Nintendo or Apple among other brands, has given me a lot to think about. Foxconn intends to replace one million of its workers with machines, no more and no less, and surely they will not be the most qualified workers and the most...
Generating content is like plucking an olive tree. The business is in the network you put underneath to catch the olives. If Google is the one who puts that network, you will be left with the crumbs; but if you are the one who puts the network you will make money, even if few people know where your business really is.
How to migrate four thousand photos from Flickr to Google plus
Google plus is much better than Flickr for several reasons, first of all because the photos look better, also because its mobile application is much better, because of its community that is growing steadily, because its design is infinitely better, because it is free (I have been a paid user of Flickr for six years), because it controls...

Google's webmail was then infinitely better than its competitor, Hotmail for disk space but especially for its speed. Google had already been born this way, gaining in...
#manifiestonube 2 Focus on where you add value, hosting is a commodity
When you think about creating a business or a business line of the one you already have on the Internet, you automatically think about investing, and you are not wrong because you will need to invest, but think about where.

Google inside
Intel became the absolute king of processors in the early 1990s, around the time of the 486 and Pentium. Little by little, every computer you saw had a sticker like this one. So much so that if it didn't have that little sticker on it, you didn't buy it; regardless of whether you had...
Emerging Systems V: Facebook
Watch out Facebook is on its way to becoming the next bad guy in the movie. The dominant position it has in the market of Internet traffic in general and social networks in particular, coupled with the testosterone of a 26-year-old young man, has led Facebook to an aggressive position. Its...
How to choose between Apple or Google
As long as Microsoft doesn't make a leap, the choice is between Apple and Google; with the caveat that if we stick with Apple we can stick with Google but if we choose Android - Chrome OS - we'll be hacks if we're able to keep our hardware with manzanita. I've been trying to decide who to stick with for two years now, and no....
