” I don’t think you’ll see anything big in 2010 for Jamaica online. Not being negative but just realistic. For anything big online, it’s going to cost some cash to get it built and marketed. That kind of money exists with the Internet Ignorant and while they are slowly gaining confidence even with the evidence as blatant as Facebook’s 200,000+ Jamaicans (in Jamaica) and climbing they still choose to throw money at the old mediums..playing it safe!”
This was the last email in the discussion I saw this morning, and it came from a colleague of mine as part of an email discussion thread started last night between a bunch of us Jamaican-based technology entrepreneurs. It started with the list of Alexa.com’s top11 Jamaican sites curated and published by another colleague.

This is a had to share article. I’ve been getting ALOT of early morning, very late night, mid lunch, on the road stops by entrepreneurs who want me to hear about their idea for a Internet or Mobile Startup. I love the bubbling up of the Internet entrepreneurship culture here…very, very inspiring. So verytime I see a sweet article on startups – the how to, why to, I got to share it. I found this one on Techcrunch.com, a site you should book mark and visit regularly if you’re about to or already are in the process of building a startup.

IS4WE.com “is a dedicated Caribbean search engine in every sense of the word.” Those were the emphatic words of Muhammad Ibrahim Abdullah, the Ceo of this new Caribbean web startup. So I said ok, cool, explain that to me and in fact answer a few other questions too, I think my readers would love to know more. What follows is a question and answer between Ibrahim and myself. I’m always excited when I discover companies such as these, as it’s these minds and the ideas they spawn, that’ll continue to fuel the growth and success of the Global Caribbean Web.

The number of websites dedicated to helping entrepreneurs is incredible: there are always new sites, to the point that it can be hard to keep track of them. However, I have a few favorites. There are some tools I absolutely rely on for everything from marketing to billing, some blogs I read constantly and a few resource sites that I consult for all sorts of small business issues.
If you are an entrepreneur of any kind, it doesn’t particularly matter where you are in the process. Whether you’re just starting out freelancing in your spare time or you have a thriving business and you’re looking to expand, there are always new resources that can help you along in the entrepreneurial process. These sites are a great starting point: they’re all good resources and you may not have explored all of them. More
