There are great companies all over the world doing amazing and innovative things. Especially in Israel.

I was really excited to not only meet but get to know many of the company founders who were invited to this year’s Israel Web Tour. I even got a chance to interview 4 of the companies for an upcoming episode of The Business Makers.

For me the real standouts at this event were:

5min - 5min is a place to find short video solutions for every
practical question and is also a place for people who want to share their knowledge. 5min’s vision is simple: any solution can be visually explained in 5 minutes.

8hands - One point access to MySpace, Facebook, Blogs, Flickr, YouTube and more. Ofer and I had a terrific conversation about 8hands - and social networking in general.

That’s so great that you got to meet these companies! The companies coming out of Israel are so exciting and energetic, it’s amazing to see.

And by the way - I love your site design! It’s so clean and pretty.

I Have Blogger's Block
I was chatting with my friend Laura Mayes tonight - explaining how I have Blogger’s Block. Tomorrow I head to San Francisco - and I’ve already stocked up on awesome reading materials for the plane - including the Complete Works of Jane Austen and Katharine Hepburn’s Autobiography. Laura’s advice:

The best way to get out of a block is to read good writing.

And to go to Northern California.

Check. And Check.

Sometimes life just works out.

Link Policy

My personal link policy is as follows - I only link to the blogs of people I actually know in real life (with the exception of the "Other Erica's" section). I think when you add someone to your blogroll there should be real meaning attached. Most of the people I link to are not only acquaintances - but folks I am lucky enough to call my friends.
