A fontastic week end in Menorca. Thanks to Martin and loic.

Jumpcut Joins the Yahoo! Family.

M&A aquisition starting on the online video mixing space !

Just tested La fonera this week end (the new wifi device from fon.com).

Easy installation, sleek design, two wifi signals (one personal and one FON AP), good intensity.

The cool thing is that it small enough to bring it with you.

From Microsoft the main sources of innovation will come from the edge of the network (PC/Phone and other intelligent terminal) and the intercommunication of all application/infrastructure and web services.

 

A nice post on wired relating how behave the equation from Eric von Hippel in today's online world, a prof at MIT's Sloan School of Management, offered a way to think about innovation in the guise of a formula: b = (v x r) - c - d.

where b stands for the customer's benefit, which ultimately determines demand. This being a business school formula, think of that customer as a firm considering whether to deploy a new product or process. The company would calculate b this way: How much of its business (dollar volume, or v) would the innovation apply to? How much would this new technology increase the profit margin (rate of profit, r) of that business? What's the change cost (c) of switching? And what's the loss in "old benefits" (d) when the company abandons its current way of doing things?

The conclusion is that today innovation need speed of execution to embrace pure velocity, with or without a path to profit. Accept a world in which transaction costs approach zero. Transform customer attention, energy, and creativity into something other customers will pay for. Turn every desktop into a node in a globe-spanning distributed processing rig.

Google is the class act here, but there's also Blogger, Flickr, Second Life, Skype, Technorati, Wikipedia, and practically everything that calls itself open source - a host of innovative enterprises scrambling to wring value out of a zillion mouseclicks.
