In Economic Downturn: Look forward
There’s a lot of gloomsaying these days — not only in the banking scene or at Wall Street. The internet, web 2.0 and all new start-up business model seem — again — to be on a knife-edge. VCs are mulling over high evaluations — start-ups are being told (again) to become more humble. Since it’s always easy to join the club of doomsayers at the right time the ‘Look-Forward-post’ of Fred Wilson

McCain: Putin, President of Germany
It’ a matter of fact that for women there are glass ceilings everywhere. They have to fight hard to make it to the top. But even being there they must realize how lonely it is: Poor Angela Merkel.… Wait a second — did McCain say President? Ah — that changes everything: Poor Horst Köhler…
Conferences, the future of.…and confirming evidence
Reading twitter and blogs on the DLD and Davos conferences I am wondering about the correlations between people looking into the future and the future itself.

Wikis and Wikifarms
Today I started a new wiki using a wikifarm called wikidot (which is a smart tool). Used Wikis all the time but never ran one by myself. It’s different — when you are the one in charge of navigation and the like. Never thought that it woul take me that long. Getting old(er) 😉
A Day at the Datacenter
Today we spent a few hours in our datacenter in Frankfurt. What does a datacenter loook like? In my younger years I imagined a datacenter a huge cool and clean area with the size of a soccer field. Today, or with the eyes of a 38 year-old, a datacenter more looks like an overheated room full of noise and narrow corridors, where some sloppy sysadmins left their remains of servers packaging.
