Sarah Tavel / Adventurista: Bessemer's Top 10 Laws of eCommerce: Introduction

These are great rules, thanks for sharing.

Surely though, the biggest elephant in the room is what can be done to accelerate the adoption of e-/m-commerce by the 92.9% of people that are paying for goods?? or am I missing something??

therefore, if that is the case, guess the 10 points above address that or do you think this merits a new point??

my first thought by glancing through ..

Time has changed. "value chain still divided for Apple to conquer". Motorola Xoom tablet crowned best CES gadget - The Independent

Motorola Xoom tablet crowned best CES gadget - Gadgets & Tech, Life & Style - The Independent

Just when the world has applauded the success of Apple that perceived, designed (& push technological boundaries) and outsourced the manufacturing and brought world the now expected standard and usability of iPod, iPhone, iPad..

maybe finally light at the end of the tunnel, with a little help from likes of Google, the best in class enterprise royalties like Motorola finally can stop the tie and deliver a not only semi-decent but award winning product that can 'beat' iPad? (did they beat iPad in that category, I wonder?)

winning these type of awards does not usually translate to sales, we have seen it many times before, but this is a very tell-tale sign maybe that likes of Nokia, SonyEricsson, maybe even symbian just need to focus on what they are good at and ask for help/collaboration(s)??

Still though, having a now award winning device does not mean it will be successful as the quality content or positive virtuous circle of perceived beneficial products/services would be key for any such device to become successful.. namely they will need the open and fully encompassing equivalent of iTune...

Would the multitude of rights-owner ready to play ball yet? any of them has the leadership and foresights that sadly they have divided themselves for Apple to conquer?? sad but true.

don't forget however, not a lot of 'thought leaders' make the bucks..

Thought leaders who EXECUTE and make it happen is key! ..

As summarised by Reuters here.

"Distinguish yourself as someone with a truly unique perspective respected inside and outside the organization. Here are three ways to do that:

1. Build your online presence. The Internet is a perfect place to start showcasing your knowledge. Post comments on blogs, write your own posts, and connect with other bloggers to create a network.

2. Win some awards. Identify awards that matter in your industry and don't be afraid to nominate yourself, or convince colleagues to do it for you.

3. Flaunt well thought-of affiliations. Your associations aren't always in your control but if you have a degree from a top school or testimonials from important people, display them prominently. Credibility by proxy is valuable."

"Totally agree Rob

Most of online so far is sadly hype and success for maybe 100′s of net entrepreneur who hyped up and sold in time.. Which these type of biz opportunity has not really happened much in the telecoms world maybe except a handful of exceptions (names escaped me now, commenting on my BlackBerry!)

Great post! Need more telecoms blogger!"

How time has changed...!? still applicable?? Identifying people on-line violates Data Protection laws, says European Court | Pinsent Masons LLP

does it mean that in our age of tagging people on facebook, flickr etc. we are sharing too much information and is contravening EU data protection laws?? esp. re people's personal lives??

curious to see if any lawyers can shed the latest lights on such matter!?

thanks..
