What I like about Tom Foremski’s blog is that his posts are infused with a genuine love and appreciation for Silicon Valley. He lauds this amazing community for being at the epicenter of innovation and applauds its many thought leaders and entrepreneurs, who, often at great risk, take bold steps to innovate new technologies that improve our lives. He has now added a video series – Fridays with Foremski – to his blog content. Nice one, Tom.

Foremski’s adulation for the Valley feels justified when you start to learn and understand about the major breakthroughs that have occurred in this region, which stretches (roughly) from San Francisco to San Jose. I have read about many of these entrepreneurs and innovators in biographies, the press and online. But earlier this week, I was fortunate enough to meet one of the “new breed” of entrepreneurs here in the Valley that are tackling the clean tech challenge in a serious way.

His name is Shai Agassi, and his company is called Better Place. Its an incredible story so far, and if it continues to succeed it will change the world. You can read more about his story here (or just Google him). I am sure you will see this name again and again. Shai Agassi. I wish him all the success.

As the prolific Chris Brogan always says (and does), share, share share. So I will share with you another blog that I am really enjoying for its valuable information and insights: A VC by Fred Wilson. Great blog about start-ups, entrepreneurs, VC’s, social media - with regular posts daily (Fred’s firm is an investor in Twitter).

Finally, what a great week for Jemstep! Our CEO was in town and we had an insanely busy but gratifying week. Launch time is soon. Its all good.
