Welcome!

The point of our blog is pretty simple. To talk about movies, TV, and video. How we choose, what we watch, and related technologies. What’s changing, who’s innovating, and the ways that we at Jinni aim to improve the user experience. We’ll try for a good mix of practical and theoretical. And we promise to keep the blog short and free of tongue-tangling jargon.
As an entrepreneur, I notice that whenever I tell my story, people start a guessing game. I call it, “Can he do it?” The most common question is, “But can’t Google do it too?”
I am of the opinion that big companies buy innovation. Executives are paid to create revenue, not risks on new internal ventures.
I’ve also noticed that most people ignore how companies structure Internet business around existing products, services, and employee skill sets. Companies do what they know best, and it’s not always a question of what makes money or sense.
So, can he do it? Entrepreneurs are addicted to the new idea, and the flexibility to build the products, services, skill sets – and risks – around it.
Besides, Jinni is like working in a chocolate factory: Part of my job is to watch as many movies as possible!

Agree - large companies tend to be conservative. That’s why I’ve been working for myself for many years.

sounds interesting, but what is Jinni? is it a new kind of google for movies? recommendation engine like netflix? movie community like flixster? I guess we’ll have to wait for beta invites….

I would expect people to ask, more than about Google, “How will you make your service more compelling than IMDb?”
