Good advice! You better be careful or Tim O'Reilly is going to trademark Web 4.48 right from underneath you! :)

Glad to see another blog looking to cover the Canadian start-up scene! Hopefully, we can encourage more entrepreneurs to take the leap.

cheers, Mark

sorry, i couldn't make it. it would have been a lot of fun - and much more interesting than sitting in laguardia for four hours.

so what's yahoo doing making all these conflictive strategic moves? surely, terry semel has a masterplan, right? either garlinghouse is semel's agent of change or he's bucking for a nice severance package while making sure he gets some more profile as he looks for his next gig. frankly, nothing is ever this black and white - and garlinghouse's piece looks very, very grey.

Re: Seven ways to help Digg get better

But how is Digg going to make improvements unless it turns iitself into a business? Then again, it may pursue improvements to make itself more attractive as a takeover target..:)

Re: Scoble’s Achilles heel is video

mark — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 17:33:25 -0000

If Scoble is blogging for the links or they're that important to him, then he should take a good look at why he's blogging. The way his rant comes across is he would be upset if the video was viewed 500,000 times but only a handufl of people linked to it. Strange.

Re: Good or bad? Wrong question

Things like Twitter are just digital crack - little real value but certainly good places to waste time if you want something else to do other than watch TV.

Re: Hey, I’m on Techmeme — cha-ching!

mark — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 07:38:19 -0000

I wonder whether more magazines and newspapers will have to pay their reporters to blog - and blog well. After all, everyone needs a carrot, right?

Whether or not it's true, it's nice to see a company that has its roots in Calgary get some attention.

nice job, aaron. it was fair and it provides FB with a lot of insight into what their users think, want and need.

Re: Twitter Launches Mobile Interface | Laughing Squid

Great, yet another way for the Twitter-Nation to be even more connected. Frankly, I don't get this Twitter phenomena: it seems far too 1984-ish, and downright strange people feel the need to broadcast where they are and whaat they're doing.

Re: Should You Raise Venture Capital For Your Startup?

mark — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 11:31:52 -0000

It's really solid advice, Ben. One thing I would add is attracting venture capital involves a lot of work before and after funding given many VCs want/need to meet, discuss, be involved, etc.

Focus more on who reads your blog, not who links to it. It makes life simple.

Re: Google AdWords for Podcasts?

mark — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 21:07:35 -0000

It would have been nice if the BW article had taken the to challenge the $400-million podcast premise - as opposed to accepting it as a given. Other than the fact Google could set its sites on the podcast market, I'm puzzled by the expectations that podcast advertising is poised to take off when it's, at best, a marginal business right now.

Is there any wireless device that consumers will pay $500 to purchase? Why Apple thinks it can break the mould puzzles me.

Re: Amp'd Bankruptcy Filing: Verizon Wireless Largest Creditor With $33 Million

mark — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 11:05:03 -0000

The Amp'd story - raising so much venture capital and then filing for bankruptcy - protection is unbelieveable. How did they ever think the concept was going to fly, and how were they able to convince so many investors to come on board?
