Launch a company

I created a new category ‘Tech Trends’ to post some of my findings of my market research. I may also share some business ideas in the tech space, my own as well as those posted by others.

To begin with, heres a great article on Venture Beat about Tech trends for 2009 and beyond Tech Trends

The key technology trends to watch for?

- PC and online gaming (currently 9.5 % of a $9.5 billion market). Can soon start effecting sales of
console games such as WII..
- Surface computing that provides a touch screen interface such as that provided by Hewlett-Packard’s touchsmart pc. I love the idea that i may have a touchscreen to place my order at a restaurant table : -)
- Increased online ad spending ..8.8 percent growth in 2009 and 10 plus percent growth in 2010 ..$25 billion increase or more in a $157 billion market (US only).. Get your share of this big pie..It definetly looks yummy…(Source: Emarketer).

I intend to focus on building enterprise software that will be leveraged by large companies, or on the other end of the spectrum, software that can be leveraged by individual users worldwide..Im still undecided on the potential for each, but heres some trends that CIOs are keeping tabs on:
