Innovation

Innovation stirs me. Innovation can take many forms, review this page.

This morning i woke up to some interesting news. I love technology business news. M$ buys 1.6% stake in Facebook

The stake price of $240 million, should be more than enough to pay for Facebook's ambitious expansion plans until the privately held company goes public.

Facebook is an innovative online social networking site born in a university dorm room by Mark Zuckerberg.

I grapple with many ideas and i think its the high time i analyzed the success stories of some of these technological concepts of innovation. Its only fair to learn from those who have succeeded. One point though is that there are lots of chances for this in Africa.

I personally feel that this will best happen with respect to the widespread use of mobile devices especially the phone. Anyone thinking about services on the mobile platform should probably pay keen attention to the OpenMoko GNU / Linux based open software development platform.

Innovations round the web and mobile platforms are a sure bet for success. Of course two questions that any innovation will need to answer is relevance and adaptability and you are sure to win. That is where great challenges will emanate at the same time great success stories depending.

Lets explore and see how our ideas qualify... happy innovation
