Broadband Mechanics begins a big offsite this week - so pardon my preoccupation

Dare Obasanjo reports from the exclusive, private FOO blah blah social graph blah blah that I wasn’t invited to 

Communities as party - is a great way to describe it. I remember when Tribe.net first launched and I tried to explain to Mark Pincus why his lame ass parties sucked and why the MySpace parties rocked. Well needless to say guess who won?

Gonna be speaking at Mix08 - only problem - Guy “I’m full of shit” Kawasaki will also be on the panel. I wonder if that means we can only answer with three words. Dave Morin is also on the panel - that’s it’s only saving grace.

DataPortability meme and videos - are spreading

Its beatup Fred Wilson day - so I’ll throw my two cents in.  I also have found Fred in conflict of interest and not necessarily straight forward.  But I write that all off as simply “he’s a VC”.  Making money is what he’s about.  My complaint is that software companies are meant for other things than making money.  And its not like Mike Arrington hasn’t invested in a few of these companies - either.  Just ask yourself “why did Loic move to the Bay Area - and who are his investors” - that should answer it all.

Nice to see Flux supporting OpenSocial - now what about OpenID?

Congratulations to Kosovo for becoming a country

For all its hiding behind the shroud of privacy, it seems that Facebook is not satisfying ALL the privacy concerns folks have. This is why claiming that preventing access to social graphs is a sham. There is no perfect solution.

Congrats to Suw Charman and that other guy - the husband

Shoutout to Melissa Gira Grant - sorry I missed you at the party - but we’ll definitely meet each other some day! I like what you’re writing!
