Trends in Pricing

"The lie of the Web 2.0 bubble is that free is the way to succeed in the new economy. That’s not true. The rules of economics have not changed. The best way to make money in the new economy, in the Web 2.0 economy, comes down to the same fundamental business […]

Economist’s Inbox

This is neat, the Economist is publishing any email sent to them on a specific story in an area they are calling "the Inbox". If only every publication would adopt this forward thinking tactic for engaging readers. Essentially, they are treating every story as a blog post even though it is not published that way, […]

What do CA schools and Dot.coms have in common?

UPDATE: The title should really be “What Do CA Schools and 1990’s Dot.coms Have in Common”.

Both benefited from wads of cash thrown in their respective directions with little in the way of expectations attached.

A soon-to-be-released study of California’s public education system says the state will have to stop pouring money blindly into schools — and […]

Project Green Makes Way for a Titan and Duet is Really a Threesome

Microsoft’s move into enterprise software was viewed as an unavoidable eventuality by SAP, but while it was convenient to use Microsoft as a cause to stimulate a sense of urgency, the fact is that the Microsoft threat was always viewed as a manageable one.

As this piece in eWeek reveals, given the maturity of these products […]

The J Curve

Don Dodge wrote an insightful post about venture returns, essentially arguing that venture capital is a bet between "risky and outrageously risky" investments. It’s hard to argue with his points.

The facts are what they are, but there is something missing from this and I can’t quite put my finger on it. Perhaps it’s the value […]

Citizen Everything

I’ve been interested in the widely reported Duke Lacrosse rape case for a while now, but haven’t really been reading much of the ubiquitous press coverage. My primary source of information on this case has been coming from a blog written by a history professor from Brooklyn College. The blog is Durham-in-Wonderland and the professor […]

Bedouinism

Dan Fost writes a good piece about how entreprenuers are using shared office spaces and the local Starbucks to boot strap their businesses.

Malik, for instance, swears by his Starbucks. (He doesn’t want to say where it is, for fear that publicists from the companies he covers will stake him out there and ruin the experience.) […]

VentureBeat Relaunches Job Board

“VentureBeat is relaunching their job board in combination with Read/WriteWeb and the Alarm:Clock (two leading Web 2.0 blogs)”

This seems like a very good idea indeed. I like the idea of embedding job boards into blogs, but if the job boards are all point solutions then there is a basic management problem in syncing across multiple […]
