The Big Problem – what is it and how will you solve it – lessons from the 80s

In the 1980’s,  I was involved in the Venture Capital industry; I actually earned a living for 6 1/2 years when there were no jobs by helping entrepreneurs raise money for start-up projects by way of private placements of common stock in non-public (private) companies.

I cannot imagine a harder thing to do, or a harder way to get paid, but I loved it.  I love working with passionate, creative people! >> More here >>

NOD IdeaPals offers two $50,000 prizes for beta testers

IdeaPals is the evolution of an inspiration transforming into a thought, then an idea into a reality. It is about users, and content, and websites, and humans, and machines. It is about collaboration, in person, remotely, and from across the world.

The inspiration for Ideapals.org sprouted from IdeaBlob and Bloblive. IdeaBlob and Bloblive were social networking sites, basically a blog for business ideas. They were sponsored by a east-coast based bank called Advanta, that wanted to issue credit cards to entrepreneurs and small businesses, so Bloblive was born, with cameras, live feeds, local media representatives, and an uncanny ability to get on the front page of Twitter every time. The idea was that the press and other online and media exposure would cause ideas to get funded. Unfortunately, Advanta went bankrupt and the very popular Bloblive could not adjust to a user-paid revenue model quickly enough, so it failed.

Solomon, CEO of MoviePals and IdeaPals, developed an open-source type model for film-making, while utilizing advances in bandwidth and storage technology to make it possible for novices and professional all over the world to collaborate and make films.

Together, Solomon and Brian Bentow founded Moviepals Entertainment – based on the press and notoriety Solomon had gained from his low-cost film-making ventures and the extensive press and buzz created for that aspect of the business by Bloblive, including write-ups in the Los Angeles Times, and a host of others, including National Public Radio (NPR). MoviePals.org recieves over 1,000 unique visitors a day and this is only the beginning.

the press in spreading across the internet like a virus image

For what would cost millions only few years ago, IdeaPals.org, the website that offers jobs, networking and even hosting social events, was built by Solomon Rothman and Brian Bentow in two months, due to modern day technology and collaboration.

hotpotato who got the hot potatoTHE ROTHMAN LETTER | QUARTERLY REVIEW

In this somewhat quarterly rant, I will endeavor to enlighten you (and myself) about what is going on from the twenty thousand foot level on the Internet and in the world.

INTERESTING NEWS:

According to Google, we are the number one social media advertising agency in the world (Adweek.com is a well known magazine, not and agency.)

I have been talking about his for a while:

http://socialmediasystems.com/blog/interactive-agency-renenue/

This is significant because we are not really a conventional agency, and there are larger competitors: the point is that conventional agencies do not understand the Internet:  Adweek.com, the only website higher than us on this prestigious search, did so with this article from 2008;

How fitting!
