ITV To Launch A Friends Reunited TV Show; ITV Play Launches. hah! Finally. Some media company has finally made an acquisitoon of a leading socialnetwork - strictly to help its traditional TV channel efforts. Only ITV Play ain’t traditional. Its a precursor to a fully interactive TV channel. Congrats to the folks at ITV for this. But is the ‘Friends Reunited’ brand string enough - and is it worth $300M+?????
Bruce Perens has become a distraction - Its often that firey willed, leaders are branded whackos. ‘nuf said on that one.

Hi marc…its been a long time since we talked…hope you are doing well! I’m checking out what you’ve been doing lately since we last talked in 2003. Seems like your making your dream come true!
btw, I don’t think robert is sucking up (not his style), and I hope that you are just poking jokes.
You are right though - we are building a team down here and if you know anyone looking send them my way!

Heheh, Marc is so funny!
Um, no, not looking to move back to Bay Area. I’m down there enough anyway to buffer the weather.
I just was talking to Bubba last week and said “hey, why don’t you guest blog next week?” and he said OK.
It was just a spur of the moment brain fart. So far it’s turned out pretty good.
