Remember Lively? It was that Google built 3d chat system released earlier this year. No? Don't feel bad, I didn't remember it until I saw that it was being shut down. I launched it a couple of times, it wasn't terrible, but it was no Second Life killer (obviously). We will shut down Lively on December 31, 2008. Embedded rooms in blogs and other web pages will continue to show an image, but users will ...

Una de las razones por las que seguramente el formato Blu-Ray no acaba de despegar, además del precio de los discos y la sensación de estar ante una tecnología de paso antes de que lleguen las descargas de alta definición como algo habitual, es que el usuario no puede disfrutar de las ventajas más allá de la resolución de imagen. Todos hemos oído hablar del perfil BD-Live de este formato, pero pocos usuarios han podido ...

APPOMATTOX, VA--This morning, I drove the rainy road from Richmond west into what's called "southside Virginia," a hilly swath of old tobacco country cut through by an ancient railroad. The highway also happens to follow General Robert E. Lee's final retreat, which ended, of course, at Appomattox Court House, where the Confederacy lost the Civil War and the scourge of black chattel slavery in America finally passed away. Barack Obama's campaign wants this to be ...

My mother lived in Appomattox for a few years and it was a scary place to drive through. I'd be impressed if Obama grabbed even 25% of the vote there.

Plagued by sluggish sales and a dreadfully low stock price, Circuit City has been in a downward spiral. Last week it was a notice of non-compliance from the NYSE threatening to remove the listing because its stock has been sitting at well below $1.00 for more than a month. This week it is the inevitable cutbacks which have taken the form of layoffs and store closings. According to the Consumerist website, Circuit City is set ...

One of the main differences between negotiators is how confident they feel when negotiating. Typically, the more confident we feel, and the better we are prepared, the more successful will be the outcome of our negotiations. Personal power comes from many sources. To build up and increase our confidence as negotiators we need to step back and analyse the sources of our personal power and compare them with those of the people with whom we ...

In Be Careful Who You Deal With, Matt McCall, a Managing Director at DFJ Portage, has great advice for entrepreneurs who are dealing with “slimy bottom sucker” investors: “As these markets continue their chaotic path downward, people’s true colors come out. Some people show increasing amounts of fairness and consideration. Others will self-optimize and use every bit of leverage that they can get their hands on. “Two entrepreneur friends of mine recently had a very ...

As promised, here's the follow up to my blog yesterday entitled "Is SOI Enough in Today's Market?" Yes and No. No, traditional "SOI" where you simply let all your friends know you sell real estate and then send them off into the world to be your marketing department is definitely not enough. Why? Because the volume of buyers and sellers is drastically reduced from days past when everyone and their uncle knew someone buying or ...

Yesterday, I was brainstorming a list of things-to-do with an entrepreneur who is getting ready to sign a term sheet. After searching through the Venture Hacks archives, I realized one of our posts already covers it: How much diligence should we do before signing a term sheet? I think that post mostly stands the test of time—problem solved. I revised the post to include this question for prospective investors: “Do you agree with our plan ...
