Three Web 2.0 Questions (6)
on
A VC (354) permalink
The producers of web 2.0 NYC asked me to answer these three questions for the Web 2.0 NYC blog: 1) What are the biggest differences between the east coast and west coast web communities? The biggest difference is that NYC is home to a number of industries that have much larger communities than web technology. In the bay area, technology is the dominant industry. What that means is people who work in web technology in ...Contribute comment -
Gnomedex 2008 Overdelivered (4)

chrisbrogan.com (423) permalink
Last year was my first Gnomedex conference. (It’s an annual event put on by Chris and Ponzi Pirillo and family, and is billed as a place where one might tap into the tech blogging world’s zeitgeist). After my experience last year, I changed the way I did business, and was immediately rewarded for my efforts. I also met great people, developed some close friendships, and felt all the way around educated. This year was even ...Contribute comment - Social Media and The Wonderful World Of Blogging | A Media Circus (1)

The title of this post is a line in a Damon Gough (aka Badly Drawn Boy) song that I heard on my bike ride this morning. You can click on the black banner at the bottom of the screen and hear it play while you read this. And it took me back to an email exchange that I've been having this week with some friends about "breakage" in a venture capital portfolio.

Strange Alternative Power Source: Expired Medications | snarfd (3)

Imagine this sticker above your light switch: Powered by Prozac. No, it’s not likely that your local power plant will be swapping coal for old Celebrex tablets anytime soon. But a little free energy is the happy byproduct of drug disposal by Milwaukee-based Capital Returns, a company that specializes in the management of old pharmaceutical stocks. Drugs have shelf life, beyond which they cannot be sold. But old medications are more difficult to get rid ...Contribute comment -

Clever founders always eke the most out of every buck. But economic conditions being what they are, even the best bootstrappers could use a little extra help. By now you’ve probably heard of web sites like GasPriceWatch.com, GasBuddy and MSNAutos, which help consumers find the cheapest fuel prices at gas pumps in their geographic area. Such “cost-optimization” sites are now proliferating across all sorts of verticals directly relevant to your most basic startup operating expenses. ...Shared by Aashay (4) Adam Fuhrer (85) adang001 (9) AJ (190) Alberto (327) atul (75) Avi (709) Babychen Mathew (359) Bart Mroz (2) Boris Mann (4) Brian (26) Carbonlord (46) dan (14) David (19) Derek Edmond (88) Digg Boss (641) e.p.c.

Today I thought of sharing a few reflections in loose form, stream of consciousness. I will attempt to connect a few dots about the future of marketing with you. What's next? The future is not more of the past, of what worked. Even if it is still working a little bit today, it will soon be quite obsolete in every regard.

It was over a decade ago when I got my first broadband connection — by today’s comparison a very slow DSL connection from my then local provider, Verizon Communications which then went by the name of Bell Atlantic. At $60 a month (not including the cost of the modem), the service which got around 256 Kbps on a good day (vs top speed of up to 640 kbps), was really a novelty.

When we recently heard about the history of YouTube’s growth strategy from CEO Chad Hurley’s point of view, he described it as “hanging onto a rocket.” But an engineer’s take is always going to be a bit less rose-colored and a bit more about the terrifying situations you brained your way out of. So we were particularly interested to tune in to a talk at YouTube’s developer conference Thursday by Cuong Do, an early software ...Shared by Adam Singer (6) Aditya Kavoor (2) Alberto (2) Alexander Ljung (5) Ali Shah (0) Alvaro S.
