Acknowledgements Special thanks… • to my dear friend Joana Lopes , for challenging me to make this book a reality before its time, and teaching me to think twice next time I am tempted to say that I am going to write a book. • to Robert Timmi , for all our interesting conversations about the domain world • for their contribution to my friends in the mobile world: mSpotlight.mobi, , Hawkeye, Scandiman, Andres, Gerry, Onassis, Mejcdj, GisZePa, Kiwi, Coast, Jeff Jefferson, Work in progress, Newton, Photoman, Biffenator, Kiwi, Gogo, Yelo, LaserFocus, Jill, NewDomainer, Predator • to Frank Schilling , for his generosity and friendly attitude. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and giving me a voice in your blog. • to Rick Schwartz , for his controversial blog posts and interesting contribution to this book • to Rajesh Setty for your early support for the Trendirama project and my blog, years ago, almost before anyone else (I finally wrote the book, two years after your suggestion! Thank you for believing I was ready for it back then) • to Mark Bennett (whose wife confirmed to me he is always right :) 1 and Jeff Jefferson for their extra-comprehensive replies to my questions and links • to my parents , for doing their best in spite of the circumstances • to my dear friend Lenka Prochazkova , for staying with me through the years, even when being totally puzzled about my career decisions • to Tommi Ahonnen, Rajesh Setty and Seth Godin , for being a source of consulting and marketing inspiration. Maybe I’ll never get to climb to the “shoulders of the giants” but the photos of that place that you showed me look good. • to JJ Funegra, Angelo Medda, Alex Mc Allister, Ronnie Carr, and Carlos Lacruz . For being great managers and teaching me the things they never teach us at business school • to my dear friend Lenka Prochazkova , for staying with me through the years on her own way, even while being totally puzzled about my career decisions • to the forum trollers and mobile detractors , for giving me such good laughs with ridiculous arguments. Those fun times will be greatly missed • to myself , for parsing through twenty times more information than is contained within this book and bringing it from the realm of imagination into reality, writing when I didn’t feel like it, standing the pressure to release this book too early, writing it in my second language and …finishing it! 1 Dear Javier, Let me introduce myself.
