Top Links And Tweets For The Week of August 14, 2010

Every week I post a digest of very fine links and tweets. Here are the best links I found in past week:

• Bill Gates: In Five Years The Best Education Will Come From The Web : "Five years from now on the web for free you’ll be able to find the best lectures in the world. It will be better than any single university."
• Introducing ‘Nokia Listings’ beta: Connecting buyers and sellers in India : A local marketplace on mobile where users can discover and transact with other users using a simple mobile client interface.
• Stock Shastra #14: To enjoy the fruits of stock investing, be like a fruit orchard owner : Once the fruit owner has planted the tree, he waits patiently for the tree to bear fruit. He depends on the health of the tree to grow and bear fruit. He knows that once the tree bears fruit, it will continue to do so for a long time and hence, he can reap the benefits for many years to come. It may happen that in one season the tree doesn’t bear fruit, but as long as the health of the tree is good, he is confident that it will bear fruit in the next season.
• Why Online2Offline Commerce Is A Trillion Dollar Opportunity : O2O finds consumers online and brings them into real-world stores. Its a new model of offline commerce being driven by an online storefront and transaction engine.
