The wrong marketing for open source

Matt Asay from CNET: "Open-source advocates for years have waved the banners of "freedom" and "no vendor lock-in" to sell the value of open source. It hasn't worked. Chief information officers don't buy vague concepts. They buy high-quality software at a compelling price. To better market open-source software to the world, open-source advocates need to match their message to what CIOs actually want to buy."
...
"Sell the CIO on open source's value, in terms of cost and quality, as Forrester reports. That's the marketing message she needs to hear right now."

Using the startup community resources

Creating a new startup is a overwhelming project. There is just so much to do!
I have requested help from two sources: Business Plan Pro Coaching and StartupToDo. The first will start October the first, the second I joined to day.
Yesterday I got TweetDeck up and running, so now I also have a decent way to "twit" ;-)

New company, new blog, "new" life?

Creating a new company is like beginning all from start. It's nice. Like earlier I'm fixed in the will to do everything right. Bob Walsh in "The Web Success Startup Guide" told me through his book two things, release early and often, and create a media presence including Twitter and Facebook. The former is hard. As I'm born in -52, I had hoped not to mesh up in the social media - but alas. Blogging is however trivial. My private blog iakttakelser is many years old and have 436 posts (be warned - it's in Norwegian). I was looking at the posts this morning, trying to create tags for old posts. It was like going back in history...
Well - welcome to my new blog, company and upcoming services. Hope to see you a lot!
