building the open web one bit at a time

Blogging on Bloomsday

There’s a feeding frenzy on right now around Facebook’s apps.

Fred Wilson is pissing off Dave Winer. Me too. He’d better watch out or else we’re gonna invent a new paradigm and he’ll have to sell another expensive Greenwich village townhouse.

I’ve been waiting to see how long it would take for hardware vendors to get a clue about embedding coolio software in their devices.  Looks like it’s starting.

Sony shuts down yet another lame ass attempt at going on-line.  Just pathetic.

Congrats to the BlogHer babes for getting funded!

I like this guy Udi. He says he doesn’t want VC funding.

  1. Yeah - Fred’s post is not only insulting, but stupid. At CNN.com I help invent news on the web and internet advertising. How’d we do that? By taking knowledge of one medium, questioning everything that we knew and not being scared to make mistakes.

    I worked DAMNED hard while at IBM to ensure that our clients didn’t try to build low-bandwidth television, or animated newsletters.

    I guess we can safely assume that the lessons of the dot-bomb have been fully forgotten. Back then VCs and investment bankers were telling everyone that could listen that the internet changed everything.

    If I was a multi-millionaire - I don’t think I’d trust my money to a venture capitalist who was egotistical enough to think that experience is a bad thing.

  4. The old adage applies: A people hire A people, B people hire C people.

    Wipe out mediocrity in entrepreneurship, there’s lots of it, in people of all ages.

    And let’s help the 20-somethings who are dying in Iraq, for nothing.
