Being First to Publish New Information Isn't it fantastic, within seconds one can take part in a worldwide distributed live-communication and reach an international audience living in states such as California, New York, Florida, Germany, China and even Israel and New Zealand?

As a result of a constantly growing acceptance of social media the global audience has set a new standard for online creative content, online news, audio and video streaming with a potential to reach participators not bounded to a single geographical region or language and thus to broaden reach and to attract the attention of niche markets and markets that did not exist before.


I think I was first yesterdy :-)

  YouTube's Rewarding Creativity soon The new Me-, My-, You-sites give control to the user and benefit from a word-of-mouth spreading through blogs and social networking resulting in an explosive growth. Competition has now generated new models to capitalize on knowledge and popularity: Sharing (ad)revenue.

As the BBC reports:

'YouTube founder Chad Hurley confirmed to the BBC that his team was working on a revenue-sharing mechanism that would "reward creativity".'

Shaping a business model based on the idea of a community means to balance the divergent interests of users, artists, the entertainment industry and technology.

• Current Business Models for Free Online Video
• Trendspotting Media Transformation

I think that sharing (ad)revenue is a good way to keep communities going. Producing a good video as well as a good site means a lot of work and should be honored.

To take advantage of the business opportunities in media and entertainment industries a transformation of the traditional creative and business processes enabled by digital technology has to take place to create solid online communications, to serve the community with outstanding services, to ensure further developments and last but not least to hook in some of the best social turntables are some reasons.

  From Russia with Love - Moscow 1908 When I visited Moscow the last time I experienced a town with foreign stores and designer boutiques dominating the Gum and other famous shopping malls near the Red Square and Tverskaya Street and an unbelievable amount of traffic even on Sunday when people returned from making their dachas winter proof.

The more I got surprised when I discovered this fantastic video featuring Moscow in the year of 1908: An amazingly quiet winter idyll besides the Moskva River.


Since electronic publishing has become more and more individual sharing photos, amateur-made videos and personal mash-ups of film screenings have become an excellent resource to reflect the diversity of culture.

See some excellent photos of today's Moscow:

• Moscow - part I - from the air + airport-hotel route
• Moscow - part II - fantastic views from Hotel Ukraina
• Moscow - part III - from Hotel Ukraina to Ministry of Foreign Affairs
• Moscow - part IV - Arbat and New Arbat
• Moscow - part V - Between Arbat and Prechistenka
• Moscow - part VI - Kitay Gorod
• Moscow - part VII - Manezhnaya Square
• Moscow - part VIII - Tverskaya Street
• Moscow - part IX - Between Tverskaya and New Arbat
• Moscow - part X - Metro + Petrovka

  Custom Search Module for AJAX Libraries and Toolkits Having a passion for AJAX I did a bit of research on AJAX libraries and toolkits mostly based on free OpenSource technology and updated my Custom AJAX Search Engine to extract information quickly with precision.

AJAX is based on open standards like JavaScript, HTML, CSS, DOM and DOM Events, XMLHttpRequest, XML and SVG, highly available in most modern Web-browsers and compatible with existing Web development technologies allowing a smooth transition to next generation Web-Apps with a strong ROI.

Currently it searches more than 30 top libraries and toolkits:

Libraries: ActiveWidgets Aflax Amberjack Reflection.js Yahoo UI Dojo MochiKit.Animator Lightbox 2 Jquery JKL.ParseXMLparse remote XML file into JavaScript object (JSON) Liquidx Mapstraction Mochikit Openlayers Openrecord Openrico Osflash Prototype Rialto RobGonda Script.aculo.us Tacos Technicalpursuit Trimpath Xajax

Toolkits Aptana Backbase Bindows G Webtoolkit ATF RAP Activemq XAP Nexaweb OpenJakob Openlaszlo Opensymphony Taconite Tibco Zapatec Zimbra ZK1

Developing rich user experiences with RIA technologies such as AJAX makes Web-based applications response quickly and intuitive like a typical desktop application. Instead reloading a page after the old click-wait-refresh model the AJAX application stays on a page continuously while the AJAX engine handles data exchange with the server.

Building the case, AJAX Web-applications provide enormous advantages compared to conventional Web-applications, they avoid slow response times and scrolling after the page has reloaded thus improve end-user productivity, lower bandwidth consumption and costs by partial page updates and reduce the time to wait for the next page.

Applied to eCommerce systems AJAX even increases revenues making new applications easy and intuitive reducing the amount of friction for end-users.

  Bye Bye German 1&1! Thanks to modern controlling mechanisms it's become a pleasure now to control my Internet service provider 1&1 and the results were disastrous. Instead of the expected DSL 6000 (download: 6016 kbit/s, upload: 572 kbit/s) I experienced a result even below DSL 2000 (
download: 1.978 kbit/s, upload:184 kbit/s).

To be sure it's recommended to run this test several times at several days at several times. I checked 1&1 with their own tools and with independent tools, but every time I run the test the results are similar. Several complaints at their customer service led to nothing.

So I'm saying: Bye Bye German 1&1!

Make your mind:

  Fascination of Immersive 3D Experiences Immersing oneself in scuba diving is not only a passion or a lifestyle, it's a great opportunity for self improvement, to meet a lot of great people, to share that experience with others and to help to preserve that experience for the future.

Immersing oneself in virtual worlds to explore new places and opportunities is an exiting new trend and engagement that may represent the next steps in the evolution of the Internet complementing that of ubiquitous computing.

• Web Vision of a World in 3D
• Online Multiplayer Games - Expanding the Market

Currently there is about 12 mio people who participate in and with MMOG's regularly, every second is involved in WOW and assuming that an average player is about 30 years old and spends more than 20 h a week participating in his favorite experience immersive 3D experiences represent attractive new business opportunities.

Why I'm fascinated? Because I like diving...

When I started scuba diving more then 10 years ago I remember my motivation was to explore new places and experience a different world with new colors, shapes, textures and creatures in clear, tropical water staying underwater for periods of time greater than human breath-holding ability allows. I followed several PADI courses and 100 dives later I passed the instructor level with the leading organization Euro Divers Worldwide.

  3D Panoramic Spheres in Google Earth As processor, imaging and data communication technologies become more powerful and cost-effective over time including emerging cinematic experiences and immersive technologies to create a compelling 3D model becomes more exciting. I just discovered these panoramic views in Google Earth:
Blurring the virtual and physical worlds just makes me think of how many business opportunities and of course challenges will occur.
