@Koen: Flanders DC is a great source. Most articles are only available in Dutch or relevant to a local market. > Added http://www.flandersdc.be/blog/ to the non-English sources.
@Johan: Good point, "the most awesome/ inspirational twitter user aka Lord of Innovation" was a better pick. Sorry about that.
@Mr./Ms. SVP: thanks for the tip! Added this blog to the list.

Great list! You should look at @bpluskowski and his blog http://www.completeinnovator.c... - one of my fav resources - probably not updated as often as I'd like - but great content regardless

Naming yourself as inspirational twitterer is kind of lame.

Maybe is Flanders DC missing for inspiration?

Re: Razwar.com, a business model with a split personality disorder

Michel Demoor — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 11:43:09 -0000

The article is leaving me with the feeling DSC is suddenly successful because they have a hero viral running around our walls and newsfeed. It's assuming Razwar should have kept their initial offering.

Can't agree. For 2 reasons.

(one) DSC is not successful. They're burning (1M) dollars on an exact copy of Razwar 2009. My point: they didn't prove the ShaaS business model is working, yet.

And (two) Razwar understands the market a lot more than DSC does. We should not underestimate commitment. My point: David has made Razwar evolve based on his experience and insights.

I believe in the people behind a company, their discipline, their interpretation of the business model and the patience to pivot it day by day. Even if it doesn't fit the dream model no more.

Go ahead Razwar, go with your instinct.

Hello Nick. I am very touched by your article. You know I value customer's opinion. I am unable to comment publicly but ... I am still David and I still want to beat Goliath. Now, the question is : how? Let's be patient and we'll try to find a pivot.
The only thing I can say thought is that building a business is more than a good idea; it is about the means (in the case of DSC > they raised 1M $) and the focus dedicated to it BUT above all it is a people story. I will be glad to write a book one day about people and business but i will not start the first chapter here ;-)
I hope to see you soon.

Best regards,

David

This is a blatant rip off of Redbeacon in the US and ServiceSeeking.com.au in Australia. I'd expect these guys to get sued for copyright infringement soon.

WOW. In this day and age of striving for equality, less sexism, non-objectification of women, not resorting to cheap gimmicks to communicate, etc., you have a cover slide of a girl licking a gun? And you liked it so much that you put it in every 3rd slide? And you call yourselves professional?

Won't even comment on quality of actual content...

AirBnb is a very strong concept, that's why it was included in the selection last year. But the concept has some flaws. Higear showed that bad PR can turn against you in no time. AirBnb saw a similar crisis last year and with some bad luck it could have toppled. But due to good management they were able to realign themselves. They got shot but recovered well I guess.

This is a really great post! We started our company blog last summer and have been very pleased with the results, recognition, and feedback we’ve seen. Creating useful content really does pay off – it shows your audience that you know what you’re doing and will give your company a powerful and unique voice.

Starfish — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 22:53:21 -0000

Other than a superficial understanding of bitcoin, why does AirBnb appear on businesees that rocked and the list that failed - does this mean the 2010 list was as arbitary as this 2011 list?

If you discover oDesk.com you will find a real soul-mate business model, but for international subcontractor jobs and services
