  • Being the best in the world

    Yesterday I read a nice book, where they were investigating around 15 star companies that succeed to reach excellence during years. Sustainable excellence. One take-away message was that the difference between a good and excellent company comes from the intersection between 3 circles: – what you are most passionate about? – how can you monetize…

  • Twitter Junk

    I believe one big disadvantage when using twitter is reading too much junk. Very few people are having added benefit in each tweet. It’s up to you to clear them out from “following” list

  • Looking for brazilian bikinis?

    I found an interesting site on the Internet. A Brazilian bikini producer http://www.brazilian-bikinis.net/myblog.shtml What’s so cool about it? Not the bikini, but the tone of voice.

  • Prices for web services

  • Conversion rates on internet are always improvable

    Apart from working for others we also have our own sites, so we are very interested in conversion rates and how to improve them. I was very happy these days when, with a small improvement i made to a site, I increased by 3x the CTR for the adsense. That means 3x more money in…
