We're both learning how to engage in these rapid conversations and learn by listening to the community consciousness.

While I'm not a hard core mega-Objectivist, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead both spoke loudly to me at critical points in my life and have had a hand in shaping the way I think about the world. Atlas Shrugged just turned 50 and I expect there will be plenty of chatter about it. There's an update on the continued effort to make a movie about it...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/FeldThoughts/~3/169523759/radicals_for_ca.html New Apps Enable Social Network Snubbing- October 13, 2007 beafpeat writes "Both The Boston Globe and NPR are reporting on new apps such as Enemybook and Snubster that parody the social networking phenomenon.

He has lined up some prominent partners. Wilbur Ross, known for his distressed investments, and American International Group, the insurance giant, are among the members of the group.

So as often as I criticize them, let me also be the first to nominate Brin, Page, and Schmidt for their Nobel Peace Prizes, not that they need the money.

Another Day, Another Great Post from Alex Iskold on the Structured Web- October 11, 2007 In his post 30 Thoughts At 30,000 feet, Fred Wilson referred to Alex Iskold as a freak of nature. Fred supports this by saying He writes code, runs a company, and does amazing blog posts for Read Write Web that are better than most Gartner research reports. I'd ask how he finds the time to do all of that, but I know the answer. Full disclosure Alex' company, Adaptive Blue, is a Union Square Ventures portfolio company.
