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 [...]

The Price of Medicine in the Internet Age

While applying to a job over the past  week (I believe it ZocDoc), I found that I was hit with an interesting idea. What happens when we review all doctors on the internet, because we’ve moved to a completely electronic medical data system? Someone I know hit upon the following book, “The Price of Everything,” [...]

Economies of Networks

Because I am really tired of hearing the same arguments about is something overvalued, is something undervalued, will something succeed on the internet. Things on the internet, at some point, work the following way: You fill some niche, people come to you, they pay/fill some goal that leads to some cash, you expand out of [...]

The Importance of the NLRB/Facebook Case

Since this has yet to be picked up by lots of people (for I enjoy reading the news late at night) The National Labor Relations Board is pursuing a case of an employee being fired because she complained about her job on Facebook.  It has a rule that any worker may talk about their work [...]

The end is near- (or not)

So, while in the middle of taking a look at all things New York Tech Meetup (even if this requires admitting to myself that I am single, gawd), one of the realities of All Things Social Media has taken on reality. It’s name is Hot Potato.  It reminds you of that game, Hot Potato, that [...]

The New York Tech MeetUp- The March Edition

Image by ShanaLC via Flickr I know it is late.  I’ve had a humongously amazing, yet busy week. (and I don’t normally talk like that)  I feel so thankful that I am finally really starting to become less shy with people in the NY Tech Community.  Everyone I am meeting has been wonderful.  Y’all are [...]

Image by Pathfinder Linden via Flickr I was recently asked, in the comments section of this blog, whether there is potential in buying advertising space in Second Life.  I wanted to answer this question more generally- instead of dealing with just Second Life, is it worthwhile to develop a real life business through a virtual [...]

Aggregators, The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly

Image by Dead Air via Flickr Another post that is imperative to write about. *sigh* I hate feeling like I can’t keep a good idea a secret.  I feel bad that this company didn’t realize a good idea in their own product when it was staring them in the face. So when I was at [...]

Hearing the Voice from Cisco’s Chambers
