where to start with a startup
Two really inspirational papers hit the web the last couple of weeks:
Cory Doctorow's Microsoft Research DRM talk
and
Tim O'Reilly's Open Source Paradigm Shift.
Both authors are astute observers of the technology world and both present in these papers interesting and compelling new ways to look at certain aspects of this industry.
What I realized reading them was that both papers are basically guides to discover new business opportunities. So if you want to do a startup but you don't have any ideas yet, these papers can help you find an orientation in the space.
Cory: "If thou build product without DRM then users will flock to you."
Tim: "If thou know the three C's thou will be successful."
