Did a fun Gillmor Gang today - with Gabe Rivera (TechMeme) and Robert Scoble. We talked about Steve’s Plan B post and Twitter - what else? Steve thinks we’re getting consensus on a Track endgame. I told him “Get Fred Wilson to fund it” Steve answers “He already did.”

Nova Spivack “Making sense of the Semantic Web” - recorded at theNextWeb conference in Amsterdam. Sorry I couldn’t be there!
Talk about a crazy announcement. Who in his right mind would fund Lloyd Braun to do a content site called Lunacy Report? Didn’t this guy do enough damage already?
