The days when its all worth while....

Sometimes a startup feels like playing snakes and ladders, and the gameboard is full of snakes - but some days - like today - it all goes well, and you know why you are doing all this.

A busy day in a very interesting workshop, we are flat out workwise (a good problem to have and doing some cool work for some cutting edge projects right now in Mobile Multimedia, B2B Web 2.0 / Enterprise 2.0 global platforms and helping a leading UK Web 1.0 company transform to Web 2.0, and seeing the benefit of their astounding growth in the last few weeks as the new techniques come on stream.

...and then find someone saying something nice about you without us paying a PR flack*

And, some really great news that makes us feel our predictions over the last few months seem vindicated, and the digital multimedia industry is coming right:

EMI says that DRM free music is selling well - we have blogged for months on this as the best outcome

The OSI is starting to get tough on people who claim they are Open Source when they are no such thing. Good topic for the Kendra Initiative annual conference.

And maybe we can make money from blogging

One small snake though..."blog" is considered one of the most irritating words spawned by the Internet

Now back to the night shift....

* thats our story and we're sticking to it.
