in Skunk Drunk In The Sad Assed Backwater on A VC
Steve's lament may sour the tourist but not the entrepreneur. Most of us feel we are solving real problems for real people. While my company creates value by removing boundaries between users and content, there is an ever growing population of challenges and opportunities. The fact that it's getting harder to separate the wheat from the chaff shows the rightness of Umar's position -- attention scarcity drives the new economy. Yes, it's fun to build parts of it.

Right on Vada!
Many of us squarely focused on creating new value. Sometimes "tourists" forget that we are essentially 12 years into this crazy experiment of the mass internet/web. We are still in the fetal stages of tapping into the potential of the Net and my money says the pace and quality of innovation will only intensify for the foreseeable future. I, for one, am very excited to be a part of this true revolution!

Those of us who are in it for life don't and shouldn't really care about those who are motivated by things other than creating awesome things as their first priority.
Aligning interests so that things come to fruition, that's of course necessary, just not shifting our priorities and vision because the "dayplayers" say so.
I've seen them come, I've seen them go, I've seen them return, and I'm sure I'll see them go again.
As if...
