5.000 $ for trying something new? :-)

it's not about spending money
in that industry

It's about earning money with

the semantic, location-aware and moment-relevant Internet on every device (call it Web 3.0 if you want).

Multichannel eCommerce

Crowdsourcing business models

Journalism

Data Mining

The fact, that Techies and Non-Techies will come closer


Remember?

Drupal is often a solution!

More productive!

Easy to setup

Flexible

Great Community

Open Source / Free as a free beer :-)
