Mobile and Device Connectivity - Entrepreneur27 Technology Symposium Final Thoughts

Can your website connect to every mobile device or to your company's live inventory system? How about your customer's neural network? After thinking about what I saw yesterday at Stanford with the nine entrepreneur's under the age of 27, I was struck with the percentage of applications that were connected in some way to another device. Last year I saw Howard Rheingold at SXSW and he spoke about cell phones being the most prevalent computing device. Think about it. As Rheingold pointed out, "do you see more computers of cell phones?"

Blummy Your Social Web
Currently my browser toolbar is full! I have so many bookmarklets that in order to use my toolbar bookmarks I have to scroll to the left to see most of them. Why is this? I have four weblogs and subscribe to at least ten social software and bookmarking sites like del.icio.us, flickr, and blinklist. While I love the idea of bookmarklets and they save me lots of time I currently have bookmarklet overload. Finally, someone has come up with an intelligent and easy to use solution using AJAX.
