Editor Steve recently finished reading these two books and recommends them. The first, Klondike Playboy is an autobiography by John Boden, known in this industry as CEO of ElderIssues, Florida, and the second, Pitch Anything, by Oren Klaff is essential reading these days for anyone who has to sell new product ideas. Let's just say you won't want these techniques used against you!
And then, of course, there are the perpetual favourites that everyone in every equipment supplier company should read over and over again, by Geoffrey A Moore.

Here's a development from two ex-MIT Media Labs graduates that could be the biggest threat yet to the established telecare industry: people will soon be able to build their own tailored system using Twine. According to GizMag, Twine is a small box "with internal and/or external sensors that connects to a Wi-Fi network to enable it to send a message when certain user customizable criteria are recognized by the unit's sensors...no programming or soldering and wiring expertise [is] required. The Twine module provides Wi-Fi connectivity out of the box and comes with on-board temperature and vibration sensors...The module also includes an expansion connector for connecting additional external sensors, such as a moisture sensor [and] a magnetic switch...Once the module is connected to a Wi-Fi network, users can set up the device using a Web-based application...any connected external sensors can be monitored in real time and rules to trigger messages can be set up using a simple selection of conditions." Twine wants to put your things on the internet.
