A few weeks back, Charlie O’Donnell asked, in a blog post, an important question: “Why aren’t you working for a startup?“
Now it’s my turn to ask: “Developers of New York, why aren’t you working for BricaBox?”
Two weeks ago, Kyle and I posted a job opening at BricaBox on the nextNY job board, [...]

UPDATE 1: My friends over at Silicon Alley Insider and Caroline McCarthy of CNET have just reblogged this question.
I’m always shocked by how few people apparently read Chris Sacca’s blog. Yeah, he never writes on it, but he was one of the most influential folks at the Google, and THE most influential in the Google [...]

Darren Herman, a friend of mine, long-time nextNY member, head of Digital Media at Media Kitchen, former co-founder of IGA Worldwide, and former member of Silicon Alley’s official sports team, Dodgeball 2.0, has just announced that he is soon-to-publish a book about “entrepreneurship and digital media.”

Charlie went and poked the bear, so I’m going to have to add some fire to this furnace and poke back.
Charlie says he’s tired of the self-promoters packing the Silicon Alley 100: People’s Choice ballot box with votes. He singles out Richie Hecker and Hilary Rowland because, well, they’re on top.
But let’s list everyone else [...]

The Silicon Alley Insider is bringing back the Silicon Alley 100 list… and while you’re eagerly awaiting who they pick and why, you can go participate by voting in the People’s Choice.
Of everything the Silicon Alley Insider is doing, I think bringing back the Silicon Alley 100 is one of the coolest. As I’ve said [...]

I got a call today from a fellow Alley-based entrepreneur, asking for advice on raising money and getting his web company off the ground (he tracked me down from a comment I left on the Union Square Ventures blog). After speaking for a while, I mentioned so many resources for him to look up, he [...]

I was poking around the Alley Insider’s website early this morning (which is why this note is so poorly written — sorry).
It seems that the new voice of NYC web tech recently moved to the Moveable Type platform (off a regular Typepad blog), and so I wanted to see what else had changed in the [...]
