VoIP + IPTV: CEO Bloggers To Read
The blogosphere supposedly has 50 or 60 million weblogs, even though 80-90% of them are probably zomblogs, abandoned by their creators like Frankenstein's monster. Of what's left, there's the A-listers, B-listers, and those inbetween. My experiience is that the Bs and inbetweeners are the interesting ones, primarily because of their unique commentary, not because they are covering fresh topics. In the blogosphere, there are no fresh topics. Well, that's not true. I'm finding the IPTV to be one of the few niche topics that hasn't been done to death yet. VoIP ranks up there, too, but probably not for long.
There's also another type of blog that is increasingly popping up: the CEO blog, or something of that sort, where an important executive-type person at an important company blogs their thoughts, usually on their industry. Two such blogs are those by Peter Csathy, CEO of SightSpeed, and Janus Friis, billionaire co-founder of Skype and Kazaa. (Prediction: Peter will be a billionaire in a few years, too.)
Both of them are blogging about VoIP (voice and video) and various aspects of IPTV, two.point.five niches of IP (Internet Protocol) communications that are already (becoming) hot topics. Peter talks about SightSpeed TV, and Janus about The Venice Project (TVP). So if you want the lowdown on VoIP and IPTV goings on, these are two blogs you should keep an eye on, as they are heralds of some very cool IP-based software and services to come.
