It’s been a few weeks since Steve Jobs and Bill Gates sat down for an interview together at the Wall Street Journal’s D conference. Only now did I have time to watch it, and can only recommend doing so. The beginning is great - a flashback to 1983 with a Jobs looking like a grad […]

No, I have not forgotten…
March 23rd, 2007
…about this blog. I just took a hiatus while I was really busy with a bunch of things, but more about that later. For now, I just want to let you know that you can expect me to post again regularly.
New Year, New Design
January 9th, 2007
With the new year, I am also finally saying good-bye to the default Wordpress layout and giving blogging.vc a new layout. Thanks to Benjamin Wittorf, who is one of the university students working with me part-time, for the design and implementation. And in case you were wondering: The building featured in the header is where […]
Why the “S-Box Web 2.0 Performance-Index“ Seems Like a Bad Idea
November 7th, 2006
Benjamin Wittorf just sent me the link to this article from the FAZ that talks about the Stuttgart stock exchange starting a new index tracking “Web 2.0 companies”. I find that somewhere between just funny and alarming:
Most of the companies tracked are typical Internet stocks (Google, Ebay, Yahoo….). These are companies that have […]

After a fantastic wedding weekend I will be off to a three week (it’s Europe!) honeymoon beginning tomorrow…I should be back blogging at the German Web 2.0 Kongress where I am also a speaker.

Ryanair as a technology leader?
August 31st, 2006
Not that it had anything to do with venture capital, but I did find this article posted at Forbes quite interesting: Apparently Ryanair is considering to allow the use of cell phones on planes. They are fuzzy about whether this would be done using “pico cells” on board or just “allowing” the cell phone to […]

I just spent an hour catching up on my feeds and there are a few house notes I wanted to post for some time, so here comes a real “laundry list” post.
Google seems to be announcing lots of stuff these days. Old news for most of you already, its new Real Estate service probably got […]
Microsoft Support - My Worst Support Experience Ever
March 16th, 2006
I don’t usually like to blog about my everyday experiences - but I just had a case of utter frustration and I thought I would put this out as a warning to all of you who are trying to call MSFT support. And hey, I am not new to the US support call center scene […]

Startup Jobs in Hamburg
January 16th, 2006
I just talked with the founders of a Hamburg Internet startup which I wrote about earlier and they are actively looking for great people (VP Engineering, Webdesign…). They say that for a successful referral they are willing to give out a free ticket to a Soccer World Cup game! Isn’t that a lot more creative […]
