Bootstrapper.com - Confessions of Serial Entrepreneurs

For the last few months, I’ve been going back and forth about desktoptwo.com with the founder, Josh Rand. First of all, I love the platform, I think it’s the future of The internet. if you look back at my old posts, my very first blog post around 3 or 4 years ago was about desktop enabled internet or internet enabled desktop. Josh put it to action. Desktoptwo allows people to use their web based virtual computer complete with MSFT office. It has the power of bringing internet to millions of people that can’t afford a fancy computer or have to use one in the library. It also will enable millions of people to download porn without it being on their computer. Truly revolutionary, seriously and they have 200,000 users while still in beta without a single $1 of marketing…Josh is also trying to recruit me but that’s another story. I told him I have to pass as I don’t believe in amway and I already have plenty of toilet paper but I wished him goodluck with his new venture.

What is the future of the Internet? People ask me all the time for ideas for new business and website. My typical response is this: personalization. Now, I have been saying this for 4 years, long before myspace, facebook or true.com - back when most people were still on dial up and internet video companies were being swatted and killed like flies. Now, we have google video, myspace video, a myriad of picture sharing sites, tens of millions of people on social networking sites.
