Just one word - Brickhouse.
I just cast my vote in round two of the great SXSW panel election. Hopefully everyone voted for me in round one.
CBS decides NOT to buy Facebook or YouTube. Oh well.
Tara’s notes on the speech she gave at BayCHI. I was there too - schmoozing and spieling away.
Tired of the same old bullshit? Check out Chuck White’s site - the Gore Years.
Lots of interesting content tie ins - happening. This is why I like Rafat and Staci so much. And Jemima - too.
Another Rich Levandov deal! Great to see Rich getting back into the game.
Yup - Odeo definitely screwed up. Its nice to hear Evan admit it. But none of his Angel investors care. They all have pleny of money - and so does Evan. So who’s hurt? Lets see - hmmmm - maybe the Odeo users? BTW how’s Noah doing? he’s not rich yet - is he?
Brian Dear got some more money. We’re starting to see all these Web 2.0 companies go back to the trough. Its another kind of ‘Sifry-ism’.
Thank god I didn’t make it onto Dare’s list of white guys. This is what comes from: a) not being part of the clique, b) eating allot of ribs and being from the south side of Chicago, c) my father helping Harold Washington become the first black Mayor of Chicago
My buddy Tom Jessimon is morphing his model at PicksPal into GeniusPicks and has raised some more cash. No wonder he didn’t call back. I designed 1UP.com for Tom.
Microsoft SoapBox. AOL - Viiv deal - Warner/YouTube - will it ever end? Don’t expect it to - this is why we call it the ‘Live Web’.
Arrr - SNS for pirates. a bunch of Viacom SNS. Mixi goes public in Japan. Friends for Families. SNS roundup from Jemima. vSocial.
Root.net gets investment from - guess who?
Do you know how rare it is to get a photo of Reid Hoffman? Reid is the guy who says social networks shouldn’t have photos of its members. That’s why LinkedIn doesn’t. But at least we got a photo of Reid now. Thanks Liz!
