Re: Market Research for ALL The reason I am carrying out this adhoc survey is to find out how coders/software companies make a sale. >From the replies I've viewed without any bias nobody seems to know much about software companies in Kenya. Bottom line is if a forum designed for & used by coders finds it difficult to name at least 10 Kenyan software companies. How will the end-users/customers/clients ever get to hear about you?

Politicans in Technology Ventures : Way to go

Mayor Bloomberg Touts New York as Next Tech Mecca : New York’s billionaire mayor Michael Bloomberg threw down the gauntlet to Silicon Valley on Tuesday in a bid to attract the next generation of technology startups to the Big Apple, listing a number of ways in which New York ranks superior — everything from IT and advertising to fashion and culture. His message, delivered in a surprise address at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in Manhattan, was clear: Technologists, entrepreneurs and software developers should navigate to New York rather than Silicon Valley or Boston if they want to be where the action is in the years to come, because this is where “the best and brightest … exchange and cross-pollinate ideas” in a culturally and intellectually fertile environment where “intellectual capital is important,” big business thrives, and startups are on the rise. Read More http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/05/mayor-bloomberg-touts-new-york-as-ne… Tony Blair lands job with Silicon Valley's Khosla Ventures : Tony Blair's lucrative list of business activities lengthened yesterday with a job as an adviser to a Silicon Valley venture capital firm, Khosla Ventures, that specialises in promoting environmentally friendly technology. The former prime minister is to lend his expertise and his "global relationships" to the California-based company, which is led by Indian-born billionaire Vinod Khosla, one of the founders of the computer firm Sun Microsystems. http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/may/25/blair-lands-silicon-valley-j… -- www.projectskenya.info
