iPhone 5 was announced a few days back and the numbers of negative/angry comments are way higher that when they’ve introduced 4S. Mainly, people are saying Apple has become boring and stopped innovating. What they really want to say is that they hoped iPhone5 will include a lot of new technology (NFC, Wireless Charging) and […]

Another search engine algorithm update, called “Penguin”, hit the web a few days ago. Webmasters are screaming and complaining their positions were lost. Some of them are asking if this is Google’s way of saying SEO is dead. It is, but… Search Engine Optimisation is a very unfortunate term. Website Optimisation sounds much better, as […]

According to this badly written presentation, Rand Fishkin from SeoMoz will be present to an event called SEM Days in Bucharest on June 5th.

I consider Dragoş Novac a guy I can learn a lot from, even though he is stubborn and antisocial, two qualities i hold dear. To my disappointment with the Romanian online industry, he told me life has a lot of grey and wisdom comes with age. Maybe i am too young, but i consider respect […]

…i built a small business having only my father’s name as a door opener and a few hundred dollars. I wanted to prove myself, and to him, i could do it. I sold it to him and his partner two years later and moved on to other things i wanted to do. I read all […]

  Some months ago, a friend asked me what did i think about setting up a small office in Brasov, the city i currently live. He was an online company manager wanting to escape the large costs of having to pay large salaries and rents to employees. And i remembered how Sergiu Biris, the CEO […]
