Part Internet entrepreneur, part social media evangelist, part tech geek and a full-time technology deal maker, this week's Blogger of the Week, Brian Magierski, explores all topics on his generically named BKM Blog, coined for his initials.

"My blog is evolving, though I'm not fully there yet," he says.  "For one thing, I'm hoping that someone out there can help me come up with a new and better name that reflects all those passions."

Brian cut his teeth in Internet entrepreneurship in 1999 when he co-founded and led iMark.com, a pioneering venture-backed Business-to-Business marketplace and first generation Software-as-a-Service application provider which was sold to FreeMarkets for $340 million. Brian also co-founded and led Kalivo, an Enterprise 2.0 collaboration and social media market software provider, which was sold to nGenera Corporation, where he is the chief deal guy, in charge of corporate development, covering acqusitions, strategic finance, and business development. 

Under Brian's direction, nGenera has completed six acqusitions and two financings totaling $70 million over the past 12 months. Clearly busy with this activity, Brian intends to focus more activity on his blog related to the corporate development ideas, strategies and findings he discovers while doing his job at nGenera, most specifically around the brand of recombinant entrepreneurial deal making which he is practicing at nGenera.

An unabashed fan of most things Apple, Brian's gadget geekiness comes through when discussing his Mac laptops, iPhone, and other Apple toys, and trashing "inferior Microsoft applications."  Brian also loves social media and is constantly on the lookout for ways to implement social media in business ... you'll find him active in between deals on Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook and other social platforms.

Like a number of other dealmakers, Brian is betting on collaboration and social networking as fundamental disruptors to the traditional enterprise landscape and as fundamental enablers for the next generation of value creation from enterprises of all kinds. 

"The perspective that I believe is missing from most conversations about Enterprise 2.0 is that the next generation of enterprise applications is not strictly about wikis, blogs, forums, etc," he says.  "The focus of the emerging Enterprise Social Applications market  should be about how those Web 2.0 capabilities (blogging, wikis, forums, social networks) are applied to applications to solve the business problems of next generation enterprises."  He has a great post on the topic here.
