Off topic: Valuable reading for online wisdom

Estonia is not a country with very much enterpreneurship on the web. Very few success stories (Skype is not really Estonian idea even though all engineering is done in Tallinn, Estonia) and most of them local as stuff is made in Estonian, rather than English. It has also to do with our Soviet path that did not really care or nurture enterpreneurship or taking risks. Almost 15 years of independence and laws have not done a great job at injecting start-up attitude into people. If you do something as a legal person and fail you are responsible for all the risks and pay with your own property/money etc. Setting up a company is not really expensive but enough so to be a hurdle for students and young people just off university. Hmm... forgot myself into the intro part :)

Web is/has huge potential. You just need a computer and internet connection and you could do stuff. Found excellent blog by Marshall Brain writing about how to earn money on the web and using the web. You might also want to read his "How to make a million dollars".

We'll return to our usual photographic content shortly :)
