Entrepreneurship best education: Babson college?

PERSONAL STORY
* Babson college could be a good way to test your capacities about entrepreneurship, but nothing can bypass learning by true doing... Entrepreneurship has of course little to do with academics... Babson could be also today the best place not to loose one's time and money in a graduate program... XXI century will be for entrepreneurs only... I have recommended Babson college to some young people. To get some feedback from a personal contact with a recent alumni I trust, just ask me >>> JF Ayel at http://xmpe.diwiki.net/index.php/User:Jfayel

HISTORY
* Babson College was founded by Roger Babson on September 3, 1919, as the Babson Institute. It was renamed "Babson College" in 1969. Believing experience to be the best teacher, Roger Babson favored a curriculum that was a combination of both class work and business training: businessmen made up the majority of the faculty instead of academics, and the institute's curriculum focused more on practical experience and less on lectures. Students worked on group projects and class presentations, observed manufacturing processes during field trips to area factories and businesses, met with managers and executives, and viewed industrial films on Saturday mornings.

Thinkpedia... Wikipedia + Opencalais + Thinkmap ... is it true semantic intelligence ?

The Web is not yet intelligent... But more intelligence comes to people visiting the web with opencalais and thinkmap. 
>>> Look at this mashup application of wikipedia, called THINKpedia... yes called "think"... http://thinkpedia.cs.auckland.ac.nz/

So yes... semantic + animated visualisation could be very efficient. 
- Note that the grey nodes are pure added value from opencalais analysis. 
- Note that nothing as been added to the wikipedia database, opencalais works without any specific added markup. 
- Note the graph visualisation from thinkmap is great added value: 
... The whole is at your only one glance, 
... Clickable refocus 
It is pity that Thinkmap license costs around 5000$ and that Opencalais has not a web service with embedable copy to paste. But, if not them, others will do it... soon...

Qi Hardware, founded on the belief in open hardware, produces mass market quality hardware applying free software principles to consumer electronics.
The three fundamental elements in our development are copyleft hardware, upstream kernels and community driven software.
Each of these form a vital part of our Qi or “energy flow”.

In traditional Chinese culture, qi (氣 / 气; Pinyin qì, Wade-Giles ch'i, pronounced [tɕʰi˥˩] in Standard Mandarin; Jyutping hei; Korean gi; Japanese ki; Vietnamese khí, pronounced [xǐ]) is an active principle forming part of any living thing.
It is frequently translated as "energy flow," and is often compared to Western notions of energeia or élan vital (vitalism) as well as the yogic notion of prana. The literal translation is "air," "breath," or "gas" (compare the original meaning of Latin spiritus "breathing"; or the Common Greek πνεῦμα, meaning "air," "breath," or "spirit"; and the Sanskrit term prana, "breath" ).

Paglo is an IT Management SaaS company and provides a search engine for IT and logs. It is designed for IT professionals and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and allows them to discover all of their IT data and solve computer, network, and user problems. The company was launched on November 19, 2007.
Paglo consists of three key components: Paglo Crawler, Paglo Search Index, and Paglo UI. Users download the open source Paglo Crawler to run on their network on any desktop computer or server. It crawls their network and IT assets and gathers information, which it then securely uploads to each user’s private Paglo Search Index. Windows event logs are also collected via the Crawler and Unix logs can be sent directly into the Paglo Search Index via Syslog-ng or Rsyslog.
Via a browser and the Paglo UI, users access their account to query their Paglo Search Index, to display the results as charts, lists, or tables. Users can save queries onto a Dashboard that continuously self-updates as the Crawler uploads fresh data. Users can also save their queries and Dashboard views for the community to use. The company has termed this communal aspect of Paglo, "Social Solving"
Customers can sign up for a limited free account or choose from a number of paid plans. Paglo is headquartered in Menlo Park, California. The name Paglo, is in honor of the fictitious, 17th century Italian explorer, Francisco Paglo.

The story of "Paglo the Explorer"
Francisco Paglo was a virtually unknown Italian explorer who first set sail as a lookout on Cadamosto's expedition to the Gambia River in 1455. Upon completion of a distance learning course in creative writing, he published a stirring account of the exploration from his viewpoint in the crow's nest, which was widely published throughout Europe. It ultimately caught the eye of Prince Henry the Navigator who was a Portuguese royal prince, soldier, and patron of explorers. Prince Henry summoned Paglo, and thanks to his generous funding, sent him on an expedition around Africa's Cape of Good Hope in 1460 to trade for spices in India. A storm pushed him off his target, and he finally dropped anchor in what is now known as New Zealand.
