tOMPSON's blog » Blogroll http://dertompson.com some personal, more technical - by Thomas Einwaller Mon, 28 Jun 2010 10:24:35 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Times are changing http://dertompson.com/2008/09/01/times-are-changing/ http://dertompson.com/2008/09/01/times-are-changing/#comments Mon, 01 Sep 2008 21:48:22 +0000 tompson http://dertompson.com/?p=589 Lately I had less time to write blog posts but that does not mean that I am not active in Web 2.0 – I tend to use Twitter more and more and keep on reading posts inside Google Reader and sharing them. I included both of them inside my blog (in the right column) so you can keep track of what I want to share with the world ;-)

I also encourage you to have a look at my friendfeed from time to time (or subscribe to it) where all my activities are summarized.

Luckily today I saw this post on BlackBerryReview.com about mofuse.com. MpFuse easily allows you to create a mobile site for your blog or RSS feed. So I created a mobile site that features my blog AND my shared Google Reader items (the ones that can also be found in the right column of my blog).

So point your mobile browser to

and check it out ;-)

The new version 2.5. of BlackBerry Internet Service allows it and if the device is on OS version 4.5 it will render HTML. See this official RIM document for detailed information. Now it is just a question of how quick the carriers will update their BlackBerry Internet Service.

Meanwhile Vodafone Germany released OS 4.5 for all their devices. Now I hope it is just a matter of time until the corresponding versions of BlackBerry Enterprise Server and Professional services to enable the features of the new OS.

The man behind the fabulous blog Fake Steve Jobs is Dan Lyons, he writes for the Forbes magazine. See this video in which he talks about the story behind creating Fake Steve Jobs:

I bet you will have some fun with this vid – I did ;-)

In his latest Scoble Show he broadcasts and interview with Lon Safko who created papermodelsonline.

The company he founded is the dream of every businessman: Minimal costs with maximum income. He has no employees, no production costs, no rent – only server fees – and the amount on his bank account keeps growing.

The website sells (as the name says) papermodels. Customers buy and download them, print them and use glue to build their models. Additionally he has a lot of contracts with companies like American Airlines, BMW, Ford and so on who offer models of their cars or planes on their web site for free.

Great! This is one of these stories that makes me searching for my great business idea a bit more ;-)
