Gilat Amotz -Amazing show

this is one of the best shows I have seen this year.

Period.

check out one of the krav maga bootcamp promo videos on youtube

we opted to push traffic throgh youtube. This is bringing in some nice numbers so far!

Not a whole lot of time to do writing as you can see...

some interesting web developments are on my desk right now. www.kravmagabootcamp.com
is a site run by Lee Rivnay and myself which teaches Krav Maga through online videos . A week after some Youtube postings of demo videos the Discovery Channel asked to come and fild Ran Nakash (the instructor) in action. the show will air on the 22nd of Feb.

This activity is what I like to call "real estate" on the web. I know this site won't be worth $50 million in 5 years, but it will give us a steady stream of subscriber income if we run it right. From the first month's stats it looks like this is happening.

more to come on "real-estate on the web" soon.

geotagging

I first came across this concept at Burning Man 1999 where Cap'n Crunch (AKA John Draper-yes, the guy who invented the infamous "blue box" and phone phreaking) introduced me to some of the thinking behind location-aware communities, and just what kinds of great information can be had about a place one visits. I am still missing a management tool for the user generated content for this application. Anyone know of anything in this area?

Context Aware. The context is the context

This seems to be my phrase of the month. There are so many people trying to crack this context aware thing. It seems like anyone with any sort of content tube or communication bandwidth of any sort is on-board this train, even though some of them may not know it just yet. We saw this with Ad-Hoc networks in the military, and disaster recovery markets in the last 18 months, now we see it with recommendation and taste-finding applications on the net, and soon to come will be the interesting developments happening in the mobile arena. What all of these (and many more) applications share is that the more network endpoints there are, the more robust the network becomes. I read this back in 96' or 97' when Gilder put it out there, that maybe briefcase-sized cell-towers are the next point, now we can imagine convoys of cars that will be transferring bandwith as they move down the road, with no need for infrastructure. I know this rant may make little sense right now, but this is what is making me wake up in the morning with my heart pounding looking forward to what this all will evolve into. At M.Y. Firam we are working with 2 companies who are in this sphere of operation, and I hope to share, with their permission, what they have been up to in the last few months.
