I'm back from London, it was a good trip. I managed to do very little while I was there, which is exactly what I needed, some time to recover from a hectic year or three.

You'll be seeing some changes on SVW as it moves more towards a type of "BusinessWeek" of Silicon Valley with additional writers. It will be more "Silicon Valley Watch" rather than "Watcher." I'll also have a personal blog to distinguish "Watch" from "Watcher."

We'll also be expanding with some natural additions to SVW, with a jobs section (Silicon Valley Job Search), and other related sections, such a Clean Tech section. Each section will also have its own web site.

Another new site will be a spin-off of my work about media and public relations. The new site: "New Rules Communications - the new rules in media and pr" is launching later this month and will also feature other writers. We already have a sponsor for it and will soon be announcing additional sponsors. Please contact me if you are interested in one of the six sponsor positions.

It is shaping up into another busy year...

I want to wish my readers a very Happy New Year and much love and happiness in 2007.

Coming this week in SVW:
