Pay attention to conversations that aren’t just between the people you work with or went to school with. There’s a big Internet out there.

Yahoo! no more
Yahoo’s foundation is rotten. They have no plan to get back into the game. Or if they do have a plan, no one knows about it
Internet in 2020
Will Google make us stupid?
Will the internet enhance or detract from reading, writing, and rendering of knowledge?
Is the next wave of innovation in technology, gadgets, and applications pretty clear now, or will the most interesting developments between now and 2020 come “out of the blue”?
Will the end-to-end principle of the internet still prevail in 10 years, or will there be more control of access to information?
Will it be possible to be anonymous online or not by the end of the decade?

Time Magazine interview about Internet, politics and Italy
I am very happy Time Magazine asked me to answer to a few questions about Internet in Italy. I don’ like what is going on now, but this is Italy today.
Some say that Italy’s ruling class is just struggling to keep pace with the Internet revolution. “Italy’s political culture is far removed from new technology,” says Luca Conti, 34, a blogger in the coastal city of Senigallia. “They’re not even focused yet on how to control the Internet since they haven’t even figured out how to use it to their advantage.” Case in point: more than 100,000 people attended an anti-Berlusconi rally in Rome last month that was organized on Facebook, but the top opposition politicians snubbed the event. Conti says the country’s leaders — left, right and center — are still focused solely on reaching the public via TV and newspapers. And unlike the Internet, the movers and shakers of the old media are some very familiar faces.

Why I am a FriendFeed addicted
I completely agree with Alexey Bersenev about the power of FriendFeed:
1. FF currently one of the smartest ways to keep updated in areas of your interests, because you’re reading like-minded users shared items;
2. FF is one of the best and fastest ways to get opinions and suggestions about your post/idea/product from “experts” and get answers for any question;
3. FF is an incredible networking tool, which can lead to collaboration and creative ideas, which finally can increase productivity of your work;

Happy birthday Skype
I have been using Skype since… 5 years ago!
At the beginning it wasn’t easy to find someone to call just for an audio test.
Today I have more than 800 contacts and it is the best way to have international conference call and to keep in touch in real time with friends of all the world, almost for free.
