A couple of things caught my eye this weekend.

Umair Haque - How to Build a Next-Gen Business Now.

Joi Ito - Obsolete Financial Services

Both are quite exciting (though Umair's at times feels a tad portentous) at a time when so many very highly rewarded financial gurus seem to be coming completely unstuck. We're entering a very turbulent period and I'm not sure how things will fall out, but I think a hyperlinked world is going to value very different institutions from the ones we've got now.
