This blog has moved

modern thinking networks’ blog has re-located to its own domain. WordPress is a wonderful tool, but I have decided that it is time to evolve and host my own site build conform to W3C standards and powered by Drupal – open source CMS.
See you there!

Column: Social networks and business models

My latest Butlletí Electrònic ATI Catalunya column “Social networks and business models” describes the state of affairs of the Information Society in Spain and discusses the way that social networks might help undertakings to develop their business models despite the sloppy regulation.  Take a look  at (link only in catalan but feel very free to use Google translate, though) http://www.butlletiati.cat/analisi/opinio/129-xarxes-socials-i-models-de-negoci

I’ll be at Internet Week Europe, London, Nov. 8-12

I gonna join the Internet Week Europe in London. Internet week is a festival celebrating Europe’s thriving Internet industry and community. Nowadays, I’m consulting a lot on the legal aspects of web2.0 utilities and social media based Internet business. So I think it will be a good opportunity to enjoy the different activities of the festival,  meet interesting people, hanging out with entrepreneurs, VCs and social marketers.

I have already planned a few meetings, but for those of you in London, I’m free to meet up there. Drop me an e-mail, DM on twitter or skype me if you would like to.

Fields of Work

This post is about my different fields of work and the relatively wide scope of my professional activities. In other words, what I’m up to:

I’m consulting at modern thinking networks (my own consultancy project) drafting Internet agreements and advising startups and ISPs on Internet Law, eBizz legal strategy and high tech legal matters more generally.

Moreover, I’m giving a hand with the development of my website that will be build using Drupal CMS. I’ll be teaching Internet Law and Business Law at UOC University. I’ve been also authoring academic materials for the University re IP Law and the entrepreneur’s guide to Business Law.

I’m returning to Business Engineering School La Salle on a part-time basis to continue lecturing on the legal aspects of web2.0 utilities. Next year my sessions at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid on DRMs and technological measures are on the horizon.

In between, I’m carry on with more publications online, blogging, my European PhD and find more time to support my modest angel investments.
