WebVisions 2007 live: Inventrepreneurship

May 3, 2007 at 1:59 PM

Ok, back from lunch with a bunch of friends (Big Town Hero rocks!). The upsteam provider for the OCC had an outage so there was no web access for about 2 hours but it's back up now. I am introducing Paul Ingram of Ingram Labs. He's giving a presentation on Inventrepreneurship (his word, not mine). What he's talking about here is how his business operates as collective and how they innovate there. A very interesting approch were instead of hiring employees and put them on various projects he's recruiting the best freelancers for the job with the right skill set for the project. My favorite part is his issue with putting a "beta" graphic on a site, it implies that it's finished work and that at some point it might actually be done... but will it really ever be done? This is the web, everything is changing all the time. Stop doing it!
