Bad boy Michael Robertson is mixing it up again, this time with Dealipedia. Dealipedia is a Wiki of deal terms, showing who made what, when the deals happened, and so on. Formerly the province of expensive services like Dow Jones, Robertson wants to make this information free, using the same model as Wikipedia – user generated content. For entrepreneurs needing to research competitors or comparable deal terms, it has the potential to grow from the relatively small 18,000 entries it has today into a potent resource.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry maker Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
