Ageism in the entrepreneurial community is a fairly recent development. Vivek Wadhwa points out that Ben Franklin discovered electricity at 46 and invented bifocals after age 70, Sam Walton built Walmart in his mid-40s and Ray Kroc built McDonald’s in his early 50s. Wadhwa finds it ironic Silicon Valley may scorn boomers, while its very icon of innovation, Steve Jobs, introduced the iMac, iTunes, iPod, iPhone and iPad all after age 45. “When he was young, he got kicked out of Apple,” and some of his greatest innovations came “with age and maturity,” Wadhwa says.

In December, at an inter-active installation for the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, artist Yayoi Kusama created a brilliantly white environment (a blank canvas) where over the course of two weeks children who visited were given thousands of coloured dot stickers and were invited to collaborate in the transformation of the space.  The installation, entitled The Obliteration Room is part of Kusama’s Look Now, See Forever exhibition that runs through March 12 in Brisbane.

Uptake’s CEO Yen Lee likes to kid that he runs “the largest travel search company that no one’s heard of.” It’s not entirely a joke: At nearly five years old, Uptake has steadily built itself up to attract some 4 million unique visitors per month, which Lee says makes it the number three travel search website in terms of traffic behind TripAdvisor and Yahoo Travel. But the Menlo Park, Calif.-based company obviously does not have the same kind of name recognition as its larger competitors — at least not yet. On Wednesday, Uptake made its first real public push with the debut of a Facebook app called Travel Q&A. Travel Q&A gathers information from your Facebook friends to help you find the best people from your existing friend circle to ask about certain travel destinations and activities. (viaMeet Uptake: The biggest travel site you’ve never heard of — Tech News and Analysis) (Via daisykwan)
