Poor Mike Arrington. Didn’t get a ride on the Google plane back from Davos. Waaaaah!
I’m really getting into TheFunded - more and more everyday. The VCs need somebody to call them on their bullshit and comparing term sheets is one way to do it. The fact that we’re starting to look for money makes this even more important to us. Do we even talk to VCs? Which ones? Just rich folks? Private equity firms? Hmmmm??? The VCs I thought I respected and I was willing to deal with have each given me more reason to believe that they think they’re ‘above us all’ and are smarter than us. Too bad.
Robert Scoble got some quality time with Mark Zuckerberg. I hope he convinced him to build in “Opt-in” into relationships which will give users control over who can export their data. That’s that’s granularity we need.
