In my view, the fact that the spectrum of topics was reasonably wide, made the reading unpredictable and hence good to look forward to, because one didn’t have preconceived ideas of what to expect. Topics that provided information on what’s supposed to be common knowledge on ICT were very informative.

But I found the topics that provided insights on entrepreneur, particularly exciting. An example is “Why tech-start-ups in Caribbean cannot access funding”. Good points raised and also such as business owners track record – a catch 22 because you need the funding to start building the track record, in the first place.

A quick glimpse at “The Tech Entrepreneurs of the Caribbean” was another that stood out in this respect. This year, I would love to see a bit more of such topics, probably delving a bit more into the specific areas of entrepreneurship in which these and other new tech entrepreneurs have ventured

Topics on Free WIFI eg 6 ways your business can benefit from offering free Wi-Fi and how these topics helped ( and still help ) to rethink this growing trend, were also particularly exciting and thought-provoking.

In reply to Stephanie.

Thanks for the great feedback Stephanie!

I had read Jovan Kurbalija’s blog post on ‘The 10 main Internet governance developments for 2011′ a few weeks ago, and revisited it just a few minutes ago. It is good to see many more comments – when I first read it, there only three…

Based on his webinar just before Xmas, Jovan indicated that he will be releasing his predictions for 2012. I plan to publish some predictions later this week, so I am looking forward to seeing to what extent his and mine match each other …

Thanks again, and Happy New Year!

Great blog post Michele! Throughout the year, and via this round-up, you gathered what most probably were the top ICT and technology themes for 2011. [You might want to read Jovan Kurbalija’s blog post on ‘The 10 main Internet governance developments for 2011’ at http://bit.ly/smcfw4%5D

If I had to cast a vote on the best post for 2011, it would be the Steve Jobs blog post, ‘A Job well done!’. The ‘takeaways’ are simply brilliant. And I love the weekly roundups too. Apart from realising that another week has flown by, they remind me of the many things that have taken place every week, and provide some insight into recurring themes that are likely to make a significant impact.

Keep it up, and best wishes for the coming year!
