This is quite old news but bringing it up again is more fun. At the Sun Data Centre conference in Australia middle of last year, the event organiser sought external funding. Guess who stepped up without Sun knowing? Yep, you’re right, their mortal enemies enemy, HP. And look at how the event napkin turned up. lolz.

A Dopplr induced meeting with Bjorn was followed by a Jaiku induced meeting with Alex and Henrik. Classic. Need I say more?

According to Business Week, Rupert Murdoch is one step closer in acquiring Dow Jones, the parent company of the Wall Street Journal. He is willing to pay USD5 billion for the controlling stake. The most important question would be whether the journal will stay independent under Rupert’s control.

An EXCELLENT read. USD12k is still high though..but still it goes to show . . .

Online social networking meets media editing in Jaycut. Guys, there might be some element of bias in this post because, well, I know the guys at Jaycut and they’re cool.

Just spoke to Jonas from the Jaycut team and I was told that the service will be available for public viewing later this week. This is good news because their service has been getting alot of attention after their participation in the Venture Challenge in San Diego and at Hej! 2007.

Unfortunately, one will have to be invited by one of the current users to create an account, which I think is good thing because it will assist scalability.

I checked out the service and first impressions are simple and easy to use. It’s collaborative by nature and you can edit any sort of media you want. They’re doing a fantastic job so far. They just got featured as Europe’s Young Entrepreneurs 2007 at Business Week. They look all set for a very big sell out in the future.

Below, I have embedded an introductory video on using Jaycut. It’s funny because Jonas was unaware of it being publicly available when I showed it to him. Neways, that’s him in the video. It’s in Swedish btw. So is their blog.

Do I get one since we share the same name?
