Microsoft, Yahoo, Google and Facebook are not the only high-profile businesses losing key executives these days. Mike Baker, who became VP and head of Nokia Interactive Advertising after the acquisition of mobile advertising company Enpocket (where he was CEO), has decided to leave the Finnish mobile giant to get his kicks elsewhere.
August 8 will be his final day with the global handset manufacturer. Baker had been busy expanding Nokia Media Network’s reach from parts of Europe and Asia to a more global audience extending to the United States, South America, and more of Europe. The network brought in marquee publishers such as Hearst, Reuters, Discovery, and AccuWeather. Nokia has named a new head of its ad unit: longtime Nokia exec Tom Henricksson will most probably replace Baker.
Baker says he learned a lot during his year at Nokia, but that deep down he’s an entrepreneur who loves building companies from scratch.
“There’s so much going on in the digital advertising space, and it’s a great time to be doing that,” he said. “I’ve long been a personal investor in companies in the space. I’m going to do a little bit of consulting, and do some investing. That will keep me busy for a bit anyhow,” Baker told ClickZ.
On a sidenote: Venturebeat will be less thrilled with the news. The blog recently added Baker to its speaker list for its first MobileBeat conference, which is about to kick off as I’m writing this.

Here is Werner Vogels’ keynote titled “Uncertainty” from The Next Web Conference 2008. Vogels shares with us that “everything fails all the time. We lose whole datacenters! Those things happen.” and “let us worry about those things, not you as a startup. Focus on your ideas.”. An interesting presentation whether you are considering using Amazon’s shared hosting solutions or not.

I first wrote about Google Knol when the topic was first aired in December 2007 on Google’s Blog, in my article “Knol is on a Roll: Google’s new economy for online authors?” at Digital Biographer.
A knol is a term Google had created for a ‘unit of knowledge’ and the announcement created a great deal of interest and speculation, as much for the lack of details as for the excitement at what it might evolve into. Many commentators called it ‘Google’s Wikipedia killer’ but as I said then, that was simply a lazy and incorrect generalisation - but there was little very specific information. And today, many commentators are again likening Knol to Wikipedia - see related links below.
Today, Google has announced its public beta of Google Knol, defining Knols as “authoritative articles about specific topics, written by people who know about those subjects.” So from today, you can start to add your knol, or knowledge. This is a beta version, so of course there are rough edges, and Google will be looking to get feedback on many aspects and issues. (I for one found that I could not log at all in using Firefox on my Mac, but have had no problems with Camino or Safari.)
Some positive features are what Google calls ‘moderated collaboration.’ “Any reader can make suggested edits to a knol which the author may then choose to accept, reject, or modify before these contributions become visible to the public.” Nice.
Google, why I can’t verify my identity?However, one issue that seems a very basic oversight is that ‘Name Verification’ (so you can verify that you, as an author, are who you say you are) is only available for those based in the USA. The systems available for those Knol authors in the USA are via Phone or Credit Card checks. Pardon me for pointing out the obvious, but there are telephone directories and credit cards used all over the world, Google. The raised credibility that Google cites arising from verifying yourself is therefore, at present, reserved exclusively for you only if you live in the USA.
So if you live anywhere outside the USA, do not send to know for whom Google knols, it does not knol for thee. (Apologies for that play on words to John Donne)
This is not the sort of even-handed approach you’d expect from a global player like Google - and the fact that there is no mention of OpenID or even Google’s own identity systems like Google Checkout or Adsense strikes me as a missed opportunity, even for a beta-stage development. The fact that one can share revenue with Google by electing whether or not to show Google Adsense Adverts on one’s Knol content makes this a very strange omission, and I fear, one that may open Knol up to a lot of spam entries or gaming.
I managed to log in and add a Knol to Google this morning entitled ‘How to read Russian in 75 Minutes‘ (I’ve proved that this works in a 75-minute lecture in 2005, by the way) but at present, my Knol on Reading Russian only appears in a search when I am logged in with a Google login (the login I use for Gmail, Google Reader etc), but it the knol is reachable with a link, whether or not I am logged in.
However, the range of ‘Featured Knols’ as samples that appeared on my screen today had me speechless - they covered Diabetes, Lung Cancer, Toilet Clogs and Tooth pain. Wow. Maybe that’s Google’s way of encouraging you to add better content - or at least, to add more cheerful and uplifting content!

Google announced a new feature in Google Maps, letting you view the walking directions. And as Andy Schwerin puts, it makes me want to stroll through the city a little bit as well: “You’ll notice shops, parks, and public art that you’ve been accustomed to zooming past, and come away feeling like you’ve really gotten the insider’s take on a neighborhood or city. Of course, don’t get too caught up in enjoying the sights! Please be careful, and be particularly attentive in high traffic areas.”
Simply type in the directions as you are used to and if the route is shorter then 10km, Google will offer a option to show Walking directions on the left of the screen. Don’t walk blind on the new feature’s directions yet, the beta service doesn’t know all the sidewalks yet, and is not intelligent enough to see a pedestrian bridge for crossing a busy street. Google doesn’t know all pedestrian pathways yet, and is collecting new data to find more effective ways to get to where you need to be.
Google seems to be the only mapping service that offers walking directions for now. Although we have seen Google Maps mashups for jogging purposes before, allowing to manually create, share and discuss jogging routes. I hope Google will implement a sportive function as well. For now, the feature will prove very useful on mobile devices for quick navigation purposes.
When the first iPhone was released in the US it didn't take long for us to get our hands on one of those fancy devices. At the time of the official release in the Netherlands most of us already had a jail-broken US version.
iPhones running the new firmware have the App Store to download native applications. Using the official SDK developers can build official iPhone Apps that run natively on the iPhone. Still using a first gen iPhone, I had to wait for the Dev Team to release the new jail-break to be able to play with the all the new Apps.
This week I could finally update my iPhone and tried some of the new Apps. One of the cooler new additions is Shazam; this applications scans music played (i.e. on the radio or in a club) and finds the title and artist of the song. With direct links to the iTunes Music Store I could have a catchy tune I hear somewhere added to my library in just a few moments.
More interesting is what Oberon can do with this new platform. We've been diving into the SDK and that seemed to be okay. Although Objective-C isn't as smooth as C#, we started working on our first official iPhone App. This application will be quite simple and is in the line of what we've done before, but I'm sure we will use iPhone development for more interesting stuff in the near future. We already have loads of nice ideas.
We will keep you informed about our iPhone Apps.
Marissa Mayer at web 2.0 conference in 2006, picture from D Farber (CC)
Marissa Mayer, head of search products and user experience at Google, put a number on the site’s revenue during a speech at the Fortune Brainstorm conference earlier this week. Fortune editor Jon Fortt about the income model: “The online giant figures that Google News funnels readers over to the main Google search engine, where they do searches that do produce ads. And that’s a nice business. Think of Google News as a $100 million search referral machine”
It seems that Google News generates $100 million revenue per year, despite the lack of ads or an obvious revenue model. Google news has been a sensitive subject before, and Mayer might have put even more pressure on the legal team with her comments on revenue. Until recently, the Google legal team could argue that the site was not profiting from the service. The site is more liable for a court case since the site’s referring features turns out to be a cash cow for the search portal.
Valleywag reporter Nicholas Carlson, shared an interesting perspective. “When she puts a number on how much money Google News makes for her employer, she gives newspapers’ lawyers a big, fat, juicy reason to demand a cut of the business. Sure, the newspapers already make money from the traffic Google sends their way — but do you think, given a $100 million prize, they won’t try to double-dip?” He notes that Mayer is worth hundreds of millions, and that Google might as well can fetch the check for the legal bill with her.

Aan de ene kant verlaten mensen Plaxo en aan de andere kant stijgt, net als op LinkedIn, de gebruikers groep in Nederland enorm. Dit zal dan ook de belangrijkste reden zijn dat Plaxo nu ook in het Nederlands beschikbaar is.
Plaxo Pulse met filter iedereen
McCrea zegt dat Plaxo Pulse vooral praktisch is, en niet grappig en leuk als de andere netwerken. Verder geeft hij aan dat er veel Nederlanders op Plaxo zitten en dat waarschijnlijk te maken heeft omdat er veel Early adopters zijn.
Volgens mij is Hyves net zo praktisch als Plaxo, LinkedIn of Facebook ieder voor haar eigen doelgroep.
Is Hyves dan vooral voor de jongeren die vrienden zoeken en Plaxo en LinkedIn voor hard werkende jonge professionals? Ondanks dat er steeds meer bedrijven en mensen met een baan op Hyves komen blijft Hyves een losse uitstraling hebben en LinkedIn meer zakelijk. Plaxo zit daar volgens mij tussen in.

Plaxo zit ook in de Data Portability Workgroup
De Data Portability Workgroup heeft zich als doel gesteld de gebruiker controle te laten houden over zijn gegevens.
Ondanks alle interessante dingen die Plaxo realiseert blijft het toch lastig om van hun spam imago af te komen. Zo duiken er regelmatig berichten op dat Plaxo gebruikers berichten laten versturen naar mensen die nog geen lid zijn. Of dat Robert Scoble de email adressen uit Facebook haalde met hulp van een tool door Plaxo gebouwd. Of de overname dor Comcast in mei 2008. Comcast die ook al een wat negatieve naam heeft in relatie tot privacy (Zie RedWriteWeb of MethaphoricLabs).
Zie ook deze poll op RWW; 30% van de stemmers (n=468) zegt dat ze hun Plaxo account per direct opzeggen nu Comcast de nieuwe eigenaar is.
Vorige maand Raaphorst die openlijk aangaf zijn account te verwijderen van Plaxo; Plaxo is een virus kweekvijvah. Gisteren weer een vergelijkbare actie van Niek ten Hoopen. Door de mededeling op Twitter kreeg hij hier een aantal volgers (zjuul, basv, corine1968…)
Aan de andere kant leeft Plaxo weer helemaal op met een handige Sync met je iPhone.
Zelf ben ik niet negatief gestemd over Plaxo Pulse.
Als je kijkt naar zakelijke netwerken voor Nederlanders denk ik dat dit de volgorde van belangrijkheid is:
WikiPedia over Plaxo en LinkedIn
Is Plaxo een concurrente van LinkedIn?Karl Knelson van Webownerclub LinkedIn vs Plaxo
Plaxo is more about being a central address book and calendar. LinkedIn appeals more to people who are looking to move up in their careers as well as the recruiters in fortune 500 companies who are looking for quality candidates. Both have similar features and now both sync together.
Zit jij al op Plaxo? Heb je veel last van ongevraagde invites? Meer dan op LinkedIn?
Heb je al LinkedIn en denk je na over Plaxo? Testen kun je het altijd. Het profiel is veel dynamischer dan op LinkedIn. Je leert er meer in hoog tempo van jouw contacten.
Valt het tegen of wil je er af dan kun je de delete account link gebruiken.

After the successful search for a mentor for Chloe Holding of Habinki here on thenextweb, I have been approached by several young entrepreneurs in London, looking for a mentor themselves. One of them is Dom Fendius, founder of Stitsh.com. Read the eight questions and answers below to let me know!
1. How did you come up with the idea of your start-up?The idea for Stitsh.com came up when I left my job in the city last year. I’ve always wanted to start my own business and fashion is something I’ve been interested in for a long time. When I look for new clothes I like to use other people’s style as an inspiration, and will often look at what people are wearing on the streets or in photos online. I thought it would be brilliant to combine this with the power of the internet and allow people to be inspired by photos of stylish people and instantly buy the clothes they like.
>
We’ve just launched the website and we’re now embarking on spreading the word about the site. It’s a very exciting time and so far the feedback has been
great.
Ultimately we aim to make Stitsh.com the number one fashion destination on the web, where people go to find a new style on the street, buy clothes and discuss fashion. We’re also working on other aspects of the site which will make it a more complete fashion service. What’s also very important to us is to have fun whilst we do this, and hopefully this is reflected in the site.
4. What were your biggest development challenges and what can start-ups learn from them?A big challenge for me has been trying to master all the different aspects of the start-up process. In other words the operational side, design, technical, marketing, PR, legal, financial etc. Clearly nobody is an expert in every area, and I think it’s important to know when you need external help from people who know more than you do. That said, I was so passionate about the idea that I always believed I would overcome the challenges.
5. Who are your advisers?Depending on what advice I’m after, I’ll speak to a number of people. For practical business advice, I speak to my mother who runs her own machine tool business.
6. Why do you need a mentor, for which activities and for which period of time?I need a mentor to give me advice about growing a company in the internet/retail space. Ideally someone who could give me practical advice from a position of experience. This could just be for the short-term, but I would hope to develop a long-term relationship with somebody.
7. What type of mentor you think would you benefit from?From somebody who has set up successful online businesses and who is enthusiastic to help those starting out. Someone who is inspirational and experienced and doesn’t mind answering the phone every now and then to give advice.
8. What does the mentor gain from mentoring you?I‘m an enthusiastic listener and keen to learn from someone with experience. I’d like to think that if I find the right mentor it could be the start of a meaningful professional relationship with the potential for future collaboration. Plus I’d hope that many successful entrepreneurs would enjoy sharing their experience with someone who is hungry for their knowledge and
keen to act upon it.

I am not a particular fan of GTD contextual todo lists, they make me grumpy and busy; instead I apply the just-on-time principle: I write down the five most important things in the evening on a paper, and try to accomplish that the next day. And with New York based Jakob Lodwick’s new web application now do this, I can put it online with ease.
Nowdothis.com is surprisingly simple, the online todo is environmental too. Simply go to the site, add the things you need to do in the list, and click “done” when you finish something. It works on any browser, including the Iphone. When you close the browser, your todo will be saved on your particular device/computer.
We have seen simple concepts as Tumblr, Twitter etc. to become highly successful. nowdothis is so simple and effective, that it’s an excellent example to many complicated websites out there. It might be the easiest web 2.0 service out there, what do you think?

Natuurlijk de aanwezigheid van Nike op de Spelen, maar ook de lancering van de Human Race running event, de promotie van de nieuwe Hyperdunk basketball sneaker en de twintigste verjaardag van de ijzersterke tagline “Just Do It”.
