Why I am doing a startup and have no plan for...
I want to change the world.
I am bad at working for others. As a freelancer and as an employee.
If I think something needs to be done, I prefer to do it myself than to ask others to do it.
I don’t care for money as long as there is enough to not worry how I will visit the people I love.
I like to be responsible for my actions and be able to right the wrongs.
If I fail I will feel...

phone numbers are not private
Path and hundreds of other Apps upload the iPhone adressbook without asking. I think it’s stupid to question this behavior as long as the data isn’t used to spam the people.
Asking someone if it’s ok to upload someone elses data is pointless. Asking the people of whom the data is would be spam.
Contact information is normally public (phone books, websites, facebook,…)...
Relevance of tasks
Don’t judge the things your cofounders/coworkers do by your own terms. It may seem unnecessary to spend several hours on thinking how to integrate share buttons if you have all the uncoded code before your eyes. But it makes a difference for the person who implements it and for those who uses it.
If everyone does it’s best in their area, all is great.

Think, but don't act
Today I had a little telephone conference with Bruno and Andi. I prepared a roadmap of social media integration in work|i|o for the next three releases and wanted some feedback.
Long story short, if we were in the same room, after I put all my documents on the table and explained my thoughts, he would have thrown them on the floor, put one clean sheet on the table and told us to focus on this...

Twitter on its way to #1 realtime information...
The title may be wrong as they already are #1. But I wanted to bring the act of their transformation into it.
Andreas Klinger, one of my mentors, wrote a new blogpost: Sh*t… twitter is exciting… again! In a nutshell, Twitter is using the massive content from their users to generate the best realtime news in the world. Nobody else has the manpower to do that. And they are pushing to generate...
Three things make vox.io awesome
Simplicity There is no clutter. The homepage reminds of Google in its better days. Just one input field that is used to find contacts and dial numbers. I enter the name, press enter and it already calls the person. Nothing to install. Just talking. Nobody uses IP adresses to visit websites, why should we use telephone numbers to call someone?
Quick Call Being able to generate disposal call...

Unified Notification System
I want a service that combines notifications from all services I use. Twitter, Facebook, Quora, soup.io, gmail (?), tumblr, disqus, quote.fm … .
At the moment most of these are delivered per mail into gmail. Some of them have iPhone apps and with them push notifications. Some are able to use Growl to send me notifications on the Macbook. All have some notifications on their website.
Gmail...

Reboot
After using tumblr to recycle my soup.io posts since a year I will start to use it as my first public blog in english. If you followed me because of the images please head over to my soup and follow me there. I can’t provide you with a tumblr of it as the automatic import isn’t supported any longer.
Why? Because I can. I am blogging since 2006 in german at 2-blog.net and was for some...
