There are those who find it to be all but a copycat of the Twitter medium - albeit with the added bonus of a nifty file sharing component as well as the oh-so-enticing option to befriend Web 2.0 micro-celebrity, Kevin Rose and thus see it as something not altogether irresistible. People can do without, it seems. Granted, it is a pretty solid system that helps its users do some basic...http://mashable.com/2008/01/05/leah-culver-pownce-co-founder-talks-future-of-platform-pre-... Help a VC Understand Internet TV- January 5, 2008 Allan Leinwand, a venture capitalist who often writes columns for GigaOM, is asking readers there whether or not the writers' strike in Hollywood is the inflection point that will drive mainstream America off their couches and onto their computers for new video content. That's something all of you have discussed quite a bit, both here and outside of this forum, so I hope you'll head over to GigaOM and give him your thoughts. His firm is looking to add to its investments in the space, so this...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/newteevee/~3/211294229/ Dot Com Crash- January 5, 2008 Talk about a bummer post . It is important to separate permabears from actual people on the field of the entrepreneurial web. It is also important to note that if you turn bearish today, which I am starting to lean as I get stopped out of some stocks, it counts more than those that turned bearish at Google's IPO, Baidu at $100, First Solar at $80 and Apple at $80. I think Greg is right about this for sure. How it plays out is speculation though: It is a dire scenario, but one that looks...http://howardlindzon.com/?p=3146 Kleiner Perkins Adds Facebook-Savvy General Partner- January 5, 2008 Sand Hill venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caulfield Byers is taking social networking seriously. At least, that's the implication of its most recent hire: KPCB has added former Accel associate Chi-Hua Chien to its stable of general partners, according to an email sent yesterday by Chien. While at Accel, Chien worked on its Facebook investment and, we hear, was instrumental in fbFund, which distributed seed funding to companies focusing on creating applications for the Facebook platform.

We keep wagging our collective fingers about this antipattern of asking users to input their credentials for another service but evidently no one is listening.

These powerful tools represent the knowledge, relationships, and processes of a company, yet for the most part they go under-resources, under-appreciated, and given third-class citizenship to the public site and customer or partner extranet. We know they are important as they are a direct reflection of your corporate culture. If a company's competitive strength is it's employees and how they work together, the intranet is a...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebStrategyByJeremiah/~3/211085368/ YottaMusic and the Limits of APIs- January 4, 2008 Web APIs rarely do everything the underlying site or service does. They are typically a defined subset of the total functionality. While understandable from a business strategy and resource perspective, these limits can be frustrating for developers. Sometimes this leads them to find a solution using undocumented APIs, often services used by the UI of the site, that provides them enough functionality to meet their needs (which was essentially the case with the original Google Maps, an...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ProgrammableWeb/~3/210949179/ Next on the Web: Tomorrow's News Today- January 4, 2008 In 2007, just as the wireless industry was starting to think of itself as a maturing industry and looking to consolidate, the disruptive force of technologyand bold business strategyupended assumptions and sent major corporations racing to catch up with smaller, newer, nimbler rivals.
