Tribute To Torsten Jacobi

I thought that my Friday post should be dedicated to Torsten Jacobi, CEO of Creative Weblogging. Torsten helped to spawn blogger 2.0 in me as a blogger at The CIO Weblog, and Torsten also introduced me to Stefan Wiskemann who eventually approached me to join 21Publish (a hosted, group blogging service) as COO. In essence, I crossed the line to the "dark side" as a compensated blogger because of Torsten. I am also becoming more German every day because of these new relationships …

Torsten has some personal stuff going on this week (congrats BTW), so he’s unlikely paying attention to what I’m writing. That said, pay attention to what Torsten is writing. As starters, I think Torsten has two interesting and very personalized posts on entrepreneurship that are worth reflecting on (here and here).

#4 is classic Torsten as I know him … "Be realistic about revenues – even if you write bullish business plans."

Thanks, Torsten!
