Farid Mheir's insight:

Internet is a new "property" that must be anaged like any other corporate asset. In particular domain names, which often are assigned to individual users and are not renewed in time.

Farid Mheir's insight:

hyper localization has been the buzzword for a while with the likes of foursquare. With limited benefits for users to date.
