Top 30 Earning Websites

Flavio referred the list of Top 30 Earning websites on his blog. I absolutely agree with his comments but I still think the list is useful as an idicator.
It seems this list is US focused [...].
I’m also missing Monster, which made 1.3 billion in 2008, so the list doesn’t seem to be 100% accurate, but it’s still a good reference on what generates sales online.

The list supports my belief that solving an actual business problem is the best way to become successful. I will certainly look at earnings for all of the companies, too.

START Summit 2009

I'm happy to see that many people are announcing the START Summit 2009. It's to be interpreted as a reward for the hard work, the START St. Gallen team has dedicated to the event. The team has done a great job with putting together an interesting program with great speakers, such as Henri B. Meier, Christoph Blocher, Nick Beglinger, Nicolas Berg, etc. A new achievement is the first time START Innovation & Sustainability Award, which will be given to a startup that is pre-selected by Synetgies (Camille, Renato, Tiziano and me) and that manages to convince the top tier jury with members from various fields. The award is hosted by Ernst & Young and startups.ch.

Registration for the START Summit is now open.
