Jeff Pulver asked this question on his blog yesterday. A number of people, myself included, told their stories. Fascinating reading.
Today’s Question of the Day: If you are an Entrepreneur, How did YOU become one?
|
|
If you are or ever have been an Entrepreneur, what event in your life pushed you to go out on your own? What is YOUR story? Is this something that “just happened?†Or was this planned? Would you recommend the Entrepreneur lifestyle to others?

Just back from lunch with Dr Peter Ellyard and a spontaneous Twitter meetup lunch with Nick Hodge, Garth Kidd, Andew Barnett and Froosh (you’ll hear the show we recorded tomorrow), and I see Chris Pirillo has posted up a podcast of the live video show we did yesterday! Here it is:

From the most excellent Sox First blog comes news that PwC and IBM say that claims they used bribes to win government contracts is just STUPID! FOOLISH! PREPOSTEROUS! And they completely deny the basis of the allegations!
But they have agreed to pay $5.2 million to make those untrue, ridiculous allegations go away. And they also want you to know that Michael Jackson didn’t touch little boys either. Oh and the Iraq invasion has NOTHING to do with oil.

PricewaterhouseCoopers and IBM have settled allegations that the companies were involved in graft over government contracts.
|
According to the Department of Justice press release, the firms had agreed to pay $5.2 million to settle the allegations. IBM has agreed to pay close to $3 million and PricewaterhouseCoopers just over $2.3 million. Not good news for Accenture, Hewlett-Packard, and Sun Microsystems because allegations have been made against those companies, according to the release.

Chris Pirillo tested out bringing in Skype video onto his Ustream show today by getting me chatting about my recent Windows Vista disasters. Check out the image below. Pretty cool stuff, the way he is pulling in live video. I wish I had a way of doing that.

Chris and the folks at Digial Ministry have stopped allowing people to register for their Facebook group just below the 1000 cutoff and have listed their reasons on their site. Interesting position. I personally don’t think Facebook groups are very useful at the moment. I find them incredibly difficult to monitor. It isn’t user friendly at all. All they have going for them is the incredibly viral nature of them. I suspect they will get better in the not-too-distant-future though.

h) Finally – and this is really the biggie… If we had put our brand and hard work on the line and invited ALL of our existing community members to go join the groups on Facebook… or spent marketing $ on promoting an application on your behalf.. without first finding out the above issues: Would we have made a big mistake that we may not recover from by handing you our users, budget and content? OR – would we find that in the end, we still have a large Knowledge IP advantage and back-up infrastructure over the new “Facebook click-and-build” barons who do not have this advantage of learning? We reckon the former.
