I don't know what the 2007th was like for you but I sincerely hope it was a good and lucky year and now that it is almost over, you are thinking of it with gratitude. And even if you now think this has been the best year of your life, I still want to wish you that the year 2008 will be at least twice as good. And even if the 2007th was not a particularly good year for you, [...]

Profy has been in this exciting and crowded world of Web 2.0 for over a year now and every single moment of this period has been absolutely gorgeous. We have had lots of things to report on and lots of accomplishments to celebrate. And we have also learned lots of things - things about blogging, technology, and communications. But one thing that I know for sure now is that web 2.0 is not actually about technology, money, standards and innovation. [...]

I am really pleased to announce today that we are now able to provide our readers with a mobile reading experience. I know for sure that a good number of our readers are heavy mobile users and we have been approached a number of times by some of the readers asking to launch some mobile-friendly version of Profy.
After we reported on FeedM8 impressive progress we have decided to use their service to create a mobile version for the Profy [...]

Following yesterday's post by Michael Garrett in which he called paid online subscriptions "a dying business model", I would like to continue with today's announcement of a new Profy partnership. We have come to expect that all the information available online should be free and it usually is (when was the last time you paid for reading your news online?). TradePub follows the same philosophy in the offline publications world. Jointly with leading publishers TradePub provides free subscriptions to various [...]

Being new to online social networking, I still find myself becoming excessively lavish when discovering new ways to connect. That is not to say I am excessively foolish and connect for the sake of connecting, although I was guilty of becoming lax with Plaxo in the beginning. In reality, I use Plaxo more than any other network program now to seek and develop my online network in conjunction with LinkedIn.
As I try to strengthen my network connections, I am also [...]

It is my usual pleasure to report on the startups I am particularly fond of. That is why today I will share with you exciting news from YooRL, the web service that permits you to create a special link from any URL and share it with your friends by any means whatsoever to further track how the link propagates on the world map. The small Russian startup provides a totally new way to deal with how you share the links. [...]

Profy is building something exciting for the tech-savvy crowd. The Profy development team is at work on a very large-scale Web 2.0 project to be launched in public beta later this year. It's an advanced blogging platform with an integrated powerful RSS reader enhanced by social featured. The application will drastically change the way we blog and read our news.
At the moment, the product is in strictly private beta and we're looking for a strong team of early testers [...]

Last month I was completely underwhelmed by Pownce. If you've been under a Social Networking rock over the last little while, Pownce is a Twitter-like service which updates your social network about what you're doing, new links, new videos, etc. The appeal of Pownce WASN'T the service itself - it was the invite process. Everyone wanted to get an invite, then dangle it over their friends who, in turn, did the same to their friends. While the viral effect on [...]

I am pleased to announce that we already have the second winner in our iPhone contest. And this time the prize goes to Allan Herman, Owner of Creative Visual Marketing Services, photography consultant and author of The Color Blind Photographer. For the contest Allan offered his Ramblings of a Mad Man describing his personal experience of a middle-aged adopter of Web 2.0 and the best things it has to offer. And it looks like in addition to being a talented [...]
