Segala blog & Content Labels

admin 10th of January 2007 by admin

Apologies for the blatant promotion of some Segala related initiatives, but I hope you find them relevant. We've finally gone live with a staff blog where I intend to post my personal opinions and technical sound bites. Although, it’s due to move home early next week. I will continue to contribute my thoughts on new technology, trends and startups here, so I’m not gone completely.

Contentlabel.org
is also live (go ugly early). If anyone is interested in contributing to the creation of new codes of conduct then please get in touch. I already have a number of respected individuals on board such as: Sam Sethi, Tom Raftery, Daniel Appelquist, Ian Hayward, Paul Miller, Phil Archer, Dennis Howlett, Manoj Ranaweera, Kamrul Hassan, David Rooks, Sorcha Moore, Tarique Naseem

A code of conduct for blogs is likely to be the first. Other codes are likely to include e-commerce, direct marketing, advertising, educational and so on.

You can now download a new Firefox extension that reads Content Labels to enable search filtering based on trust.

Will Irish Start Ups Conquer Europe in 2007?

admin 4th of January 2007 by admin

At the last Web 3 conference in Paris, three Irish Start Ups (TouristR, Pxn8 and PutPlaces) showcased their concept and at least two more were networking (Nooked and LouderVoice).
This made Ireland, the second country in terms of representation with almost 10% of start ups being Irish. That's not bad for a country that counts only 0.1% of the European population!
I can't wait to see more in 2007, Happy New Year to all.
