eBay Sued by Skype Inventors

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

The Internet’s terrible twosome, Skype and Kazaa inventors Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, have thrown a monkey wrench into eBay’s plans to sell off 65% of Skype to an investor group led by Silver Lake and involving Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen for around $2 billion.

Zenstrom and Friis were clever enough to keep the P2P Global Index IP underneath Skype so they could reuse it for other ventures.

As Joltid, which holds the IP, they sued eBay and the members of the investment group in federal court in California Wednesday charging copyright infringement and asking for damages and an injunction. The suit claims damages are mounting at the rate of more than 75 million a day.

Web2.0 Benefits the Fittest

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

It is interesting to note that even after 3 years, Web2.0 still holds remarkable market traction and companies have gained significant business benefits, including more innovative products and services, more effective marketing, better access to knowledge, lower cost of doing business, and higher revenues.

A recent McKinsey Global Survey has further researched on how companies stand to benefit from Web 2.0 and this has revealed some notable facts. According to the report successful companies not only tightly integrate Web 2.0 technologies with the work flows of their employees but also create a “networked company,” linking themselves with customers and suppliers through the use of Web 2.0 tools.

Despite the market slowdown and recession, respondents have positively indicated that they will continue to invest in Web 2.0 technologies. A respondent size of over 1,500+ executives from the industry participated in this survey spanning from a variety of domains, industries and functional areas. They were asked about the value they have realized from their Web 2.0 deployments in three main areas: within their organizations; externally, in their relations with customers; and in their dealings with suppliers, partners, and outside experts.
