MsBehaviour at Mohawk Media

I've been a very busy MsB recently and haven't had any time to post here. You can still read my weekly geek pieces at Mohawk Media, the MsBehaviour files every fortnight at The Big Idea, or random thoughts at my Twitter Feed.

In the meantime the Twisted sisters have also been busy in cyberspace. Follow the adventures of Miss Candy Phloss at her new blog, or visit Mistress Dirtbag's Dungeon for Friday fun that's definitely NSFW!

The Future of Web Startups

Paul Graham from Internet incubator YCombinator predicts the future of web start-ups. He believes that as the costs come down due to online tools and digital markets, the number will rise as more people make the jump to being self employed.

If the pattern holds true, that should cause dramatic changes."
