With increasing globalization, people online are starting to feel a pain. They need a way to share information, ideas, or anything. Creative commons helps users cut through all the red tape and allows them to put simple customized copyrights on their stuff. Almost everything we make is copyrighted. The internet is fast paced, and we don’t have the time to give everyone permission to use our stuff. When we can freely share our work, then people can freely use it for what they need, and maybe build on it. Mixing cultures around the world has proved to have many positive results, mainly because people tend to take the best out of each area, and use it for improvements and more efficient ways of doing things. This website is free, easy and it allows you to all the things listed above. People are able to now share things like never before.  Copyright laws are often huge barriers to entry and may stifle creativity. The non-profit organization called creative commons is helping the world to be a better place. Creative commons is a good example of how to fill a need in the online market.

Do you want more people to see your posts on Digg?  Digg is like a community in real life. If you want to share information you need to make friends. If you have a group of around 30 friends, this will give you immediate exposure. Getting that initial exposure is really important, because your views will normally go up somewhat exponentially. If your friends are Digging you up, you should Digg them too. This takes time to make many  friends and keep track of them. So make sure that your content is great. Good stories and articles will naturally get more Diggs because they will be more interesting. So pick something that you can focus on so that you can provide some sort of value to the reader.

Kiva seems to be doing great things for entrepreneurs, but is it all a scam? Some say that Kiva works with a for-profit company that takes 23% interest from your investments. None of these sources are 100% credible.  Kiva is not that transparent about it either. When you are doing a great thing like Kiva is currently doing, you have to expect someone online to spread rumors and take you down. If you search “Is Kiva a scam?” on Google, you will see a mixed bag of opinions and no solid facts. After having read testimonies, and scanned over “evidence” of Kiva being a scam, I came to the conclusion, that scam or not, Kiva is still doing great things with its ability to bring money to where it is needed most. Testimonies stated that mostly all investments are returned on time, and leave both parties very satisfied for helping and being helped.

Not too long ago, Eric Schmidt became the CEO of Google. He is a great role model for any internet entrepreneur. Here I have summarized some important take-aways  from his leadership style and some relevant facts.

1- His salary=$1. Thats not a typo. I didnt forget to add any zeros. He makes a one dollar salary, which shows his complete commitment to leading Google unselfishly, making sure all the resources are going to where they need to be. Everyone is dispensable, including himself.

2- There is a higher power. Schmidt realizes that Google is bigger than himself or any individual making it. So he doesnt actually run Google despite what his position tells him. Google is run by the culture.

3- Idea generation- Google needs to stay innovative to stay on top. They have a communication structure set up so that people can freely express their creative ideas for implementation. This flat organization even has a good chuck of money set aside just to look for crazy ideas, and do things that keep the employees passionate. People will be more motivated to work if they are the ones choosing what to work on.
