I have been unable to really blog as much as I would have liked to lately, but there’s a good reason. I have been quite busy with some consulting work I am doing for this amazing start-up called Gaucho and my own new venture: Videfy. The most important feature of these two startups is the real time capabilities they have both incorporated. If you have been paying attention to the developing trends in web2.0 these days, you’ll understand why. Everyone is starting to use the internet for everything: Moms who are looking to save and find coupons in stores can now find awesome deals by looking at the live savings stream specific to their location on Gaucho. Professionals who are looking to meet up with their friends for a couple after hour drinks can now look on loopt or foursquare to find out their location and prior movements. With videfy, Brands/companies will be able to keep a realtime interaction going with their many fans, update them on developments at the company via the most effective means of information dissemination…Video. With all the information being placed on the web, it’s no wonder everyone is looking to scrutinize them, get only those that matter to them and get them as soon as they are released.

Investors are also embracing this new trend. Ron Conway has been a big fan of startups that incorporate realtime features in their operations and it’s been evident on the two occasions I’ve heard him speak: TechCrunch50 and most recently Crunchup held in San Francisco a few days ago. Little advise to Entrepreneurs: Include Real Time in your startup. This is the time to do so!

Like i mentioned earlier, I am currently working on two innovative start-ups and I received couple of emails after a tweet I sent out some days back asking me about Videfy. I will write a detailed blog post about it soon, but in the meantime, I can tell you we are about 10 days from a beta release. Anyone, brand and studio is welcome to signup for invites and test it out.

On the other hand, happy thanksgiving to everyone! If you are looking for ways to save on black friday, there’s going to be a bunch of deals, coupons and stuff here.

Parting notes: Remember that Entrepreneurs are in it to come up with innovative ways to change the world, build something that makes people’s lives easier first and you will be rewarded for that.
