Ezzy Enough has been dormant for quite a while. The official reason is that I’ve been extremely busy with a few design projects.

The additional unofficial reasons were a slight burn out of blogging and my lack of any interesting information to post about. But I think now is a good time to catch up with everything.

Thanks for keeping my blog on your watch. Posts will be coming especially fast due to all the stuff I have been backlogging for the last few days.

From vision to reality…

The painful process from vision to reality is often hard to describe, but this image does it really well.

Untapped Niche Markets

Uncategorized — Ebrahim @ 7:12 am

As Web 2.0 is becoming more entrenched with its user-created content, distributed through blogs, communities, and devices (iPods, cell phones etc..); services like Flickr, Del.icio.us, Digg, etc. have cornered their niche markets and have rapidly moved from being "startups" to "market leaders", with the power of new ‘social‘ phenomenon.

As Web 2.0 matures further, markets will begin to organize themselves and the leaders will become more obvious. There are, however, pockets of innovation going on beyond the developed markets, as I’ve stumbled across a few untapped, and essentially unexplored niche markets.

Books’ for instance — Web 2.0 is all about user-generated content, but it seems to be limited to the web, as we haven’t seen many startups extending the content creation functionality to traditional media. Blurb and Picaboo are currently one of the few services that provide services related to ‘books‘.

Microsoft Awarded Patent for a Screen Phone

Uncategorized — Ebrahim @ 6:54 am

Alex Wolfe (InformationWeek) writes about a new patent just awarded to the folks in Redmond.

Graphical User Interface For A Screen Telephone (U.S. Patent 7,225,409) is for:

A graphical user interface for a web telephone [which] provides a unique combination of display elements that provide information and enable the user to access functionality of the device.

More potential worries for Apple since the patent isn’t just for a phone, but for the underlying software, and the patent document even includes a helpful flowchart.

Although the patent was awarded on May 29, 2007, it was originally filed in 1999, which presumably means Microsoft could claim it had the idea first.
