Mooky – a magazine for your iPod
Mooky is a not quicktime downloadable magazine which you can subscribe to on iTunes. It’s made-for-the-iPod video content which, I think, has a lot of potential. Professionally done, it and probably most appeals to a youthful, iPod owning audience – although I think the idea would work for others markets as well. Why not get a video podcast from CNBC, for instance? (They do audio ones right now). This is
YouTube: not a real business
Jason Calacanis nails the reason why YouTube is not a real business. Why? Because it’s making a lot of traffic out of pirated material. Bully for them, but a real business this does not make. Still, YouTube’s service is useful for the rest of us in the mean time, whether they get bought or not.

Will the UK catch the Web 2.0 wave? Or a burst of Bubble 2.0?

Likewise if you are in Helsinki – where I’ll be from Friday to Tuesday, or Tallinn (Estonia) on Wednesday… I’ve already had a great meeting tonight with Henrik Torstensson of Torstensson.com.
