A founder Truism, Revisited
I had ran into a close friend of mine at a mutual friend’s engagement party. He is currently a founder at an extremely interesting startup in New York, though I remember him back in the days were he was still a dorky high school student. We were talking about how I just got a job [...]
Bad Ads, No Biscuit
While drifting off to sleep recently, it hit me that web ads are a kind of misfit of the advertising world. They’re super algorithmically driven, primarily because of the remnant market in display. Oddly enough, this fact should open up a range of enriching experiences – if your ad follows you around based on your [...]
On Behalf of Soundcloud
So, Soundcloud is asking as part of a community manager position to sum up some personal thoughts on customer service and community building. Here they are: 1) Wait a moment before interfering. Even if someone is complaining, it is hugely more satisfying to most people if s/he can figure out his/her own problems by [...]
Conde and McKinsey, you still suck
McKinsey finally finished up their overview of all things Conde. And they missed the mark, totally, about falling revenue in the print editions. Lets go into why. There are a bunch of very cool bloggers cutting deep into sharing content about what is slylish, literary-ish, cool, whatnot. We can move on and slowly Ignore Conde [...]
On Sam Lessin and Email
Sam Lessin, of Drop.Io fame and fortune, has built on top of drop.io (if I had to guess) a service that allows you to charge to send emails. Sam’s a smart guy. One of the few in NY who I can honestly say is well thought out. We’re in a minor disagreement over a very [...]

Searching Versus Finding
(Or where we need to go in the future of search) One of the most problematic parts of Google (and in fact, on some very basic level all search engines, including the new Facebook one), is that it’s business model is built on search plus placed advertisments in that search. At first, this seems very [...]

DNS and Speech
I just received an email from OpenDNS. I use (by myself, natch) their home service to configure my DNS, with Google as a fallback. In it was the following message: This is big: One out of every three public schools in the United States is now using OpenDNS’ award-winning Web content filtering, security and DNS resolution services.

On Taxes
I’m going to post about the New York Tech Meetup Later. (they delayed it because it is internet week) Right now, it’s all on taxes. There has been enough talk between such a variety of different people (some in the tech world, some not) about taxes. In the tech world, there seems to be a [...]
While everyone else was having a Privacy Scandal
Image by ShanaLC via Flickr I saw the weirdest thing recently. While we are all having conniptions about privacy, the last person I would ever think threw a wrench in the entire argument about having privacy. Maybe. A fairly obscure blogger (who I like to read), named Hasidic Rebel, decided to unmask himself as Sholom [...]
