I just launched the Start Up Forward.
The Start Up Forward is a new initative to bring the world of Start Ups closer to their goals.
On the Startup Forward interaction is the key factor.
As a new start up you have the basic needs for infomation, attention, people, sharing and money.
This is where it all comes together.
Try it out, make a new group page for your start up and show yourself to the entrepeneurial world in front of you!
Do you like one of the startups that already have a group page or are you involved. Help the group become more up to date and interesting!
Get fans and members in your group, grow your profile in popularity and claim your success!
Are you the one looking for new ventures, new partnerships or seeking for the next billion dollar company to invest in, check the profiles and learn " lean and mean" about these companies!

no statistics yet
After the few days Google Chrome seemed to be the leading news item I am curious about the figures and statistics on the new browser.
But there's no info yet to be found.
The rumours say that chrome already took 1% of the browser market space
Only rumours are there about usage and people seem to step back after trying.
My feeling says the numbers are pretty huge in the first couple of days of initial downloads. But what will stick after let's say a month or so!
I will keep searching for info and post!

Twitter app on Swoot
So we are working on a Twitter app.
Of course we are, what took us so long?
We started a couple of weeks ago,and as it appears, it's a challenge.
We are developing three different versions.
What seems to be the issue, Twitter restricted the number of sessions per user back to 30 an hour. This means, when you start your app, login, go to i.e.your followers, these are all backend sessions. Once started you have completed 6 sessions. When you decide to go to your followers, every 100 is one session. So if you have 1000 followers, going to your followers page is 10 sessions.
A bit of a problem. But we'll fix it one way or the other.
In the mean time , one of our twitter developers, Feike , is turning blue, literaly. Check out his matching twitter shirt ( colour) on the photo!
We'll keep you posted, the apps are to be expected within a week.

We arrived in NYC thursday after a 3,5 hours drive with a bus called the Limoliner. Amazing bus, with leather seats, thirst class service and last but not least, internet on board. how cool is that.
Meeting with David Blumenstein first, amazing meeting, he helped us dealing with a swoot consumer issue, ot of the blue he just gave the perfect idea we were struggling with for a while.
After that up to the Hotel, all the way down to Long Island. It was hot and we had to walk half an hour before we finally found the hotel.....!
At 6.30 we met Brett Petersell, Christopher Prince Boucher , Oz Sultan and the guys from Kickapps for drinks at the Australian mid 30's bar.
Friday, up early, first off to meeting Terence Dover from TXT tunes at the Soho Grand Hotel, as always the perfect spot to meet. Than off to Halo Ventures and Spongecell In Tribeca.
After a quick visit we had to go to Cooley on Ave of the Americas. What a crazy building, and great people.
Supposed to meet Shelly Palmer, but got set to next week in SF instead!
After that meeting with Bad Boy Records, figuring out what concept to build together. And finally after a long and succesfull day beers with Jeffrey Neu , a very cool tech oriented lawyer....
Now up for a goodnight sleep and breakfastand lunch meetings again tomorrow....

And of course an afterparty again. With the bus to Boston South.
Talked to some very interesting people and other webconcepts to work with.
I will update later on the ones I found interesting.
I got to meet Mikhail from Halo Ventures again. very nice guy with an amazing network.
They invested in on of our co-presenters,> Spongecell!

what happened with the google shares
Google shares dropped down from a 711 dollar in november to a low of 464 yesterday.
A drop of 40%, where did this come from?
The 464 dollar is the same as october 2006.
One of the main reasons seem to be the fact that consumers click on advertising a lot less than they used to do in the last two years.
As always said , google is in the search market, which is a changing landscape and will be even more in the next coming 12 months. Search and more detailed " advertising on search" will change a lot.

microsoft photosynth
A couple of months ago we had the chance to play around with Microsoft Photosynth a little bit.
And I have to admit , very impressive!!
It is amazing how easy and secure the photosynth software operates.
We are fortunate that we're invited to the microsoft technology lab end of january to play around with the new Microsoft technologies some more. See what what kind of mashup we can build with the Swoot technology!
Here's a video of the photosynth that shows the possiblities!

100 things we didn't know last year by BBC
Internet , a new year!
What is going to happen in the internet industry, which companies will evolve, which will fall down on their current status!?
I have read all the posts last week about the predictions, some lame, some great!
What do I think:
1) don't predict a whole year, no one is that good! believe me!
2) Digg will be sold , very soon!
3) following up on 2 > great things to happen for Pownce after nr 2 has been done!
4) facebook will grow even more, my space will lose more to facebook, but also to another new one ( could be nr 3)
5) Open Social, yeah! But not the Google one, Facebook is doing great in that matter and will evolve, the rest needs to follow and try to improve!
6) Google , yeah still great, but a new social search site is about to rise, the next gen. search should be coming up! The Google Role in this can still be amazing, depends on their strategy and focus!
7) You tube will lose more users if they fail to make the youtube 2.0 version, it has to evolve now in order to keep up with the upcoming competition!
8) Ads will decrease even more in click through ratio and bannering will be out of grace within time! New Ad possibilities will arise!
9) DESKTOP APPS will ARISE! Finally and thanks to all the players on this field, this will evolve major. Widgets have cleared the path, now the next step needs to be taken, interesting thing will be what will happen with Air and of course what the big ones like i.e. Google and yahoo will do in this matter!!
Enough, all of this is pure speculation. One thing we did learned over the years, Internet is pretty much unpredictible!
Users are the number one group to decide for hot or not's!!

3) following up on 2 > great things to happen for Pownce after nr 2 has been done!
4) facebook will grow even more, my space will lose more to facebook, but also to another new one ( could be nr 3)
5) Open Social, yeah! But not the Google one, Facebook is doing great in that matter and will evolve, the rest needs to follow and try to improve!
6) Google , yeah still great, but a new social search site is about to rise, the next gen. search should be coming up! The Google Role in this can still be amazing, depends on their strategy and focus!
7) You tube will lose more users if they fail to make the youtube 2.0 version, it has to evolve now in order to keep up with the upcoming competition!
8) Ads will decrease even more in click through ratio and bannering will be out of grace within time! New Ad possibilities will arise!
9) DESKTOP APPS will ARISE! Finally and thanks to all the players on this field, this will evolve major. Widgets have cleared the path, now the next step needs to be taken, interesting thing will be what will happen with Air and of course what the big ones like i.e. Google and yahoo will do in this matter!!
Enough, all of this is pure speculation. One thing we did learned over the years, Internet is pretty much unpredictible!
Users are the number one group to decide for hot or not's!!
New year and what will happen next!!
Hi Everyone,
Up for a new Swoot year for me.
New things to happen, new adventures to come this year. It is predicted and set to be an amazing year. There are so many things that are happening as we speak ( write)!
We are going to move to a new location next month. about 100 metres from our current location, but twice the size!

Official Monteverdi.tv release
Dear classical music lover,
As you probably know, in this past ½ year Swoot has been putting an enormous lot of time and energy into the development of MonteVerdi.tv for our customer CommuniServe, an all-encompassing Internet platform for classical music lovers.
The official launch of www.MonteVerdi.tv will be early 2008, but I herewith invite you to visit a unique and brand-new site: MonteVerdi.tv - first comprehensive Internet platform for classical music. It enables you to enjoy TV shows and documentaries, a huge downloadable audio catalogue, news, reviews, video clips, and hundreds of classical radio stations. It also has a first-class web shop where you can buy CD’s, DVD’s, books, and sheet music. You see, they just went online in their beta version, but they are dying to tell the world about it.
They’ve been asking colleagues and acquaintances to spread the news among their subscribers, members, etcetera. And off course we do so.
Furthermore, MonteVerdi is a great place to share your knowledge, enthusiasm, and preferences with others. Sounds good? You are more than welcome to see and hear what they have in store for you at www.MonteVerdi.tv.
Tell a friend
Would you like to do another music lover a favour by sharing the news about MonteVerdi? Easy: just click the button ‘Tell a friend’, below this message.

DIGG it, or not!
Digg for sale!
The rumours were already longer in the press. What's the story
There is a note that investment bank Allen & Company have received the project to sell the company for 300 million dollar, probably to the highest bid.
Is this worth it. In figures and spreadsheets perhaps not, but as we already know and learned over the past years, this doesn't really count.
It completely depends on the buyer and how much " back to the future" they achieve by buying the " users" from Digg!
So an interesting case will follow soon.
This will probably also mean that pownce will receive the full attention after the sale!
The best wishes to the Digg guys may be in place for now, see what happens.

is my space linked in with Rupert Murdoch
What is going to happen to linkedin. They are definitely on the radar to be bought, perhaps by Rupert Murdoch. Will this be to help MySpace win back from the Facebook popularity.
Linkedin is still growing strong and is sure to be the best Business network around. Lok around, try some names on Linkedin and you'll find them.
But in the end i think the interactivity is too low for really using it more often.
An interesting prediction I read about last week was, " Will Facebook have more business contacts then Linkedin" . My answer would be " YES" .
if I see the activity on the Facebook within the business network on Facebook, this will take place.
I looked at myself and my own actions, I do both now, I look up for the new contact omn Linkedin and also check him/her on Facebook.
So , that being said and done, why do you want to buy Linkedin then?
What is the " up" for someone like Rupert Murdoch. Just a new separate business model, or integrate it with the MySpace plans??
Interesting , I'll keep on following this
