Selling ads across downloadable media

November 20th, 2007 · 2 Comments

I rarely use this blog to talk about my work in the online advertising world. Here’s a short post which goes into a bit of detail regarding what I’m learning about the industry, what makes eMediaRep and NPB such great organizations, and how I think Blip.tv is “getting it”
UPDATE: It appears that Blip pulled their [...]

September 20th, 2007 · Comments

I especially like this analysis of Hulu by SAI’s Henry Blodget.I have a long, long video post waiting for me to finish… this inspires me to do it.For the record, I think they are screwed only because they haven’t told us why they’re going to be any good.No good news is bad news.

Google Anti-Trust Revisited with DoubleClick Deal

April 17th, 2007 · Comments

The mere idea of an anti-trust case being brought on to Google is one that gets some people, like Eric Schmidt, shaking their heads a little.
Them?
Four months ago, I wrote a brief post about what issues would factor into the Google Anti-Trust story and I was interested to see the issue brought up at Mr. [...]

More on Yesterday’s Stock Hiccup

February 28th, 2007 · Comments

Yesterday I commented on the lack of attention folks in my (quick, which hat am I wearing today?) Web 2.0 industry gave to stock market troubles. Yes, sometimes it’s great to discuss the latest spat between Sequoia Capital and ComVentures, but wouldn’t you have expected VentureBeat to make mention of the 400 point decline?
After my [...]

If we’re Web 2.0 insiders and the stock market falls spectacularly, does anyone hear?

February 27th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Today, the stock market fell spectacularly enough that I switched off my usual afternoon diet of Worlds Greatest Police Chases and watched the stock market train wreck on CNBC.

Best thing about it: no one in the Web 2.0sphere gave a hoot.
Here’s a shot of the Technorati Top 10 Searches as of 5pm (notice Tammy Nyp:

Global Feminism: This Flat World Still Has Borders

February 9th, 2007 · Comments

We know the World is Flat.
Those of us taking part in the Web 2.0 movement are getting awards for flattening it.
But beyond the flow of money and information, how flat is the word?
Last night I went to an interesting event called “Feminism Across Borders: Labor, Families, and Globalization” at The Brandeis House, on the Upper [...]

S&P 500 Votes “Democrat”

January 24th, 2007 · Comments

(The subject and content of this post came from my uncle, though as a serious investor it came as a screenshot from his Bloomberg terminal. Funny guy. Don’t know what you’re looking at? Notice how well the stock market has done since those commie democrats won control of politics the first week of November. Who’s [...]

Patriotism, World Flatness, and Irony on oDesk

November 30th, 2006 · 4 Comments

So I’ll admit it: I think the World is Flat too. As of yesterday, I hired a designer for my project who lives in the Phillipines. She charges $11/hour, and, from the look of her portfolio, she does great work. In the US I would have to pay from $75 - $100 per hour for [...]
