So we’re staying 100 meters from the Teatro Verdi in Trieste and I’m an opera singer and Verdi is the man.
So I turn on the TV today and there’s a dubbed version of a movie made back in the 60’s about Verdi’s life. In this movie (and I’m not sure if this is truth […]

We’re proud to announce the launch of a new client’s network - called GT Channel.
Its a network of car nerds who are heavily into the modern day muscle cars coming out of Japan, Germany and Detroit. These cars are used for traditional racing and also ‘drifting’ - which was popularized in 3 films called […]

Its been fun to watch Robert Scoble gradually grok social networking - but if I was John Furier I’d be on Robert’s ASS to get PodTech deeply entwinned in all this stuff.
Why is there no Podtech SNS - yet?
We built them a network last sumer and none of them even bothered to sign up.  Oh […]

With $1B of his own money, Michael Bloomberg could well become the first Jewish President.
He’s been very successful in NYC and unlike H. Ross Perot - he’s got experience in BOTH business and politics. Perot never really got himself aligned with particular political issues besides “not them” but Bloomberg seems to have his […]

The techno is pounding hard in the cafes below - so I’m sitting here in sweltering heat, blogging…..
Lucas Gonze reports that Ning now has music sharing and some nice music player features. I agree with Lucas - music sharing is an essential feature for social networking.
Ning releases Facebook app. Congrats to Gina […]

Sean Bohan pointed me to an article in Advertising Age of recent attempts at ‘aggregating digital life’.  Sean knew this was my kind of article - signifying  a new level of awareness in DLAs (digital lifestyle aggregators.)
This article must have been instigated by MyLifeBrand’s recent launch - as it appears they hired some flacks to […]

People ask me, “Marc why do you come to Trieste?”  “There is nothing here for you.”
I say to them that’s the way I want it.  No touristi, no crowds; just beautiful people, food and places to be.
Around the back of our apartment, in an alley, is this place.  You wouldn’t think it’s a world class […]
