OK here’s another one for you. I would like to send my love+heart+happy filled congratulations to Daniel Ek and gang (Spotify), Sorosh and gang (VideoPlaza), EricW and gang (Soundcloud), Honour Pearson and gang (Momail) and ThereseM and gang (Brainspiration) for receiving top pops at the IDG’s 2008 WebEntrepreneur of the Year awards. Duly impressed, these guys make me wonder when I should “take the plunge” myself . .. .
In case you’re interested, here’s the link so you can check out their rankings.
1) The ability to sort through my gmail inbox by file size, sender, and so on. Whenever I want to find an attachment, I have to remember the name of the email or any other key words to begin with…
2) A Gtalk conversation with more than two people
3) Multiple Gtalk conversations causes the applets to “stick” to each other. Opening one conversation means closing the other. This sucks. This is apparent if you’re using the stand-alone application
4) Facebook events/schedule linked to Google Calender. This would be sick
5) Search and separate function within Facebook inbox for better retrieval of mesgs
6) A function where one can invite people to events/groups according to networks. For example, if I’d like to invite my friends to an event in Sweden, I’ll only be interested in my friends in my KTH and Sweden networks as opposed to scrolling one by one and inviting them
7) “Ctrl-C” has more capacity to hold cut or copied “items”
So Facebook might be having a sales conference and a tech-department all-hands meeting on Tuesday (US time). What could they be up-to? Are they going to announce something later on?
Well, I had a mini discussion with a pretty reliable source and here’s his take on what Facebook could be announcing, in no order, in the next couple of days:
1) Facebook’s translation of their site into different languages. We know they’re pretty big in the US, UK and Canada. These translated sites could put them in a better position against MySpace and Orkut.
2) Facebook FriendsList could be announced. Facebook announced that they’ll allow users to group friends into different baskets depending on relationships.
3) Facebook investment. Will it be Google, Microsoft, Yahoo! or a bunch of private investors?
Also, to top it off, we’ll be in touch with Dave Morin, Senior Platform Manager at Facebook, tomorrow evening via video conferencing at the Asia’s first Facebook Developer Garage. And he’s close with Mark Zuckerberg. Could he have anything to announce then? Well we’ll have to wait and see. In the mean time, I’ll keep working on that long list of questions. 
Stumble it!
