After I used NetBeans 6.1 IDE, I realized that while opening the IDE it is much more faster than other versions. I guess it has been improved almost %40-%50 and now it is opening time is very fast. Since I did some programing sometimes, this is really good for me. In addition to this I realized that code completion function is much more better than other versions. I also realized that memory usage is better than other versions and it does not make your computer slower. Another cool feature is support for Javascript, MySQL, Ruby/JRuby and Spring is very good and has been improved.
For me the best thing is NetBenas 6.1 IDE is opening very fast, and it was the most exciting thing for me. I really suggest you to download the NetBeans 6.1 and use it, I am pretty sure that you will like it.
For a start-up time to market is so important. To decrease the time to market, a start-up must be able to develop their product or service in a reasonable time and price. To do that, Sun Microsystem’s new program for Start-Ups can be a good alternative. Why should we pay a lot for the IT costs just at the very beginning?
On February 27, 2008 Sun Microsystems acquired MySQL. MySQL is the “world’s most popular database”–whatever that means in marketing speak. In terms of technology it means that Sun now owns the database that many Web companies use for web applications and services. There are few acquisitions that make as much sense. Marten Mickos was the CEO of MySQL. Now he is the senior vice president of the database group within Sun. I caught up with Marten to bring us up to date on the acquisition and future direction of MySQL.
Question: How did the Sun deal go down? Answer: On the one hand there was always a positive vibe and an affinity. On the other, the deal happened surprisingly and extremely quickly over just a number of weeks.

Most of the people believe that writing a business plan is just a one way of wasting time. Instead of writing a business plan, we should focus on development,marketing and sales. I do not agree with them. Because if we do not plan some core topics, strategies of our company we will not be able to react the emerging markets or new opportunities in a correct way or timing.
We had a guest lecturer last weeks, who is one of the founder of eviware, Niclas. I really like his example, he said; “In soccer before you go to stadium all the team comes together and talk about the tactics. If you do not do that, while you are in the field there will not be enough time to think about every thing. Your opponents will start to attack you from the left, right and they will develop new tactics and so on. So; before going to pitch you should develop a core tactic, of course you can change it while you are in action. But still there must be a well defined tactic before you start”. In addition, while writing a business plan we should follow this circle; Discuss, Write, Read, Discuss, Rest, Read, Discuss, Write and Finish
While online video creates new ways in which to acquire and disseminate information, it does not appear to be replacing traditional media outlets. Eighty percent of consumers say that online video usage does not cut into their TV time. Continue Reading »
This morning Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship hold a breakfast seminar about “Social Media and Internet Marketing” and it was really a good seminar.
I am very familiar to the concepts and i like blogging, podcasting, video advertising and so on. But some small advices and clues can be listed as this:
-RSS becoming really important
-Females like creating content but Males like uploading videos
-youtube, flickr, facebook, myspace are important to make a social impact
-blogs, microblogs and tumblelog are important. They make your brand or company more reachable for the customers and you let them see, read what is happening in the company, which makes them feel good and trust your brand
-and also search engine optimizations are very important
I’m also collecting material for a new whitepaper on the impact of social media.
- How did your blog/podcast/video help you connect better with customers?
- What new ideas, insights and impulses did you get from blogging, podcasting
or sharing videos on YouTube?
- What impact did the use of social media have in your particular job?
- How much more revenue were you able… okok, that was a joke :).
If you have any story about how social media made a difference for you in our job or in making customers happy or in any other sense, please let me now and tell me about it.
I’m trying to get a better understanding on the impact of social media on everyday business life and on our ability to work. Many people believe that blogging, podcasting and other social media can be huge differentiator for a company like Sun and I’m one of them. I’d like to add the data to the belief, extract the mechanisms that make it work and provide the numbers and logic to show that the belief is a proven reality.
I am working on word of mouth marketing techniques and i want to share a very good presentation with all of you. I used the documents from “Napa Consulting Group” and i would like to thanks them.
Last 2-3 weeks we had some sort of arguments and conflicts with my class mates at KTH/Stockholm. Some of them really believe that, if they have a business idea and plan to start-up on it, before going to a business angel or a venture capital they should send an NDA before and if they sign the NDA then they will go and talk about their business idea. But some others and me believe that signing a NDA is not really a good way to protect your idea, furthermore it is not that legal to use it in court.
Last week while i was talking with a venture capitalist in Stockholm, i asked the same question to him and he said; “i never sign that kind of papers, you should trust me. What ever you do, i probably have more lawyers then you do.” Another example about this was a professor from KTH who worked for Stanford Univ. in USA and have been very close to silicon valley, she also said the same; “no one sign that kind of papers in silicon valley”.
All in all; i also believe that signing a NDA means nothing and moreover, ideas are just the 3-5% of the whole business, i can find you 10s of ideas everyday but the most important and the difficult part if execution not the idea.
