Innovations and catching-up

After a while you realize that there is no point on playing to catch-up with the big guys. After a while you realize that your product must provide real value on its own to be competitive. After a while you find out that innovating is the only way to achieve your goals.

We are all so full of ideas, additions, killer-features that many times we get lost on that game.

Perfection is another big issue innovators have to deal with. Trying to achieve the perfect thing is not only impossible, but also an illness. “Perfection is an infection”. Maybe is hard to draw the line between “not finished” and “done”, but having it be near perfection is most probably going to kill your project instead of making it stand out.

Hi Posterous

The Apple miracle

Apple has created a new miracle, but very few have noticed it yet: After more than 20 years  finally someone got rid of the “Desktop metaphor” for good. Say hello to the “Book metaphor”.

To be totally honest, it was Microsoft who first came up with this idea, a long long time ago; but they where too early in the game, and the hardware wasn’t capable of doing what the software was trying to accomplish.

This is the opening chapter of a revolution that will change the whole “computer experience”.

There are yet some gaps between this conception of the new metaphor, and what people are expecting from such a device. As time goes by it’ll improve, and we’ll get more used to it, this is a two ways street after all.

Changing the way we’ve been using computers for so long is not going to be an easy feat, but as productivity goes up, and rejection down, we’ll be every day nearer to what Sci-fi writers have been envisioning for so long: Gorgeous looking PDA’s that can hold more information that we can produce in a lifetime with endless communication capabilities & allowing every human to have at it’s fingertips the whole knowledge since the beginning of times.

Enjoy the revolution, embrace it & talk people into it.

As of this moment, this blog is publishing my raw thoughts.

I invite you to compare your ideas with mines and have a nice chat about them. As usual you can reach me on Twitter, Facebook, or Mail.

Today I realized that if instead of using WordPress, I had used Eximius for my blog, I could have my posts both in Spanish and English… another good reason for choosing Eximius!

My new post will probable talk about “exit strategies” for entrepreneurs. If you have any suggestions let me know.

Thinking about my first real post in this website. It’s going to be about projects, and entrepreneurs… I think

New website, new topics, same author..

I started blogging in 2001, I remember those days, it was kind of hard to update everything manually you know. I think blogging wasn’t even a word yet.

I think I stopped writing circa 2007, I don’t remember exactly why, but you can see my old blog here.

I’ve been thinking about my comeback since 2008, but I wanted to use my companies CMS for that; I even installed it and had it ready to launch, it just didn’t feel right. CMS are meant for another kind of websites, at least, that is what I’ve learnt in these years.

But enough of ancient history, you’d probably be wondering what am I going to be talking around here… Well mostly about CMS, e-Business (not e-commerce my friend), Marketing, Entrepreneurs, and Web software. Also, I’m in the process of developing 2 new web apps, that will be available later this year, so I’ll probably talk about that too.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope to see you around here.

Comments are very welcome, also great ideas, and of course, VC’s for future projects!
