Is Silicon Valley Really Coming to an End?

By Mark Suster on August 27, 2012

By now you probably know that David Sacks, co-founder of PayPal and founder of both Geni & Yammer made some observations on Facebook that Silicon Valley “as we know it” was coming to an end. He says “In order to create a successful new company, you have to find an idea that (1) has escaped […]

Facebook, Part Deux

Facebook, Part Deux

By Chris Yeh on August 21, 2012

Nearly two years ago, I asked the question, “Did Peter Thiel Make The Single Best Investment In History?” Today, now that Thiel has sold most of his remaining stake in Facebook, it’s a good time to re-examine the math surrounding his investment. Two years ago, I wrote: In 2005, Peter Thiel paid $500,000 for a […]

The Shift has hit the Fan – Microsoft, Facebook Slides, Google Rises

By John Taschek on August 15, 2012

In what seems to be from the lower paleothic period but in fact was about a year and a half ago, I wrote a post about the Mean Girls phenomenon and Shakespeare. This in turn was not actually about mean girls or Henry IV, but about the interesting relationship of…

Primadesk Brings One Interface to Cloud Content

Primadesk Brings One Interface to Cloud Content

By Ben Kepes on July 16, 2012

Those who call ourselves early adopters have a tendency to sign up to services on a regular basis. If I think about where my own content sits – I have images in Picasa, Flickr and Facebook. Documents in Google Drive, DropBox, Box and Syncplicity, contacts in at least a couple

The Most Obvious Mobile Ad Unit and What the New York Times Got Wrong

The Most Obvious Mobile Ad Unit and What the New York Times Got Wrong

By Mark Suster on July 13, 2012

The New York Times recently ran an article titled, “Tech Companies Leave Phone Calls Behind.” I love the NY Times and am a paying subscriber. But this article missed the real trend. The premise of the article is that in an increasingly online world ruled by techies who don’t want to talk on the phone, […]

Arbitrary censorship and unevenly applied rules at Facebook and Smugmug

Is There A Social Media Bubble?

Is There A Social Media Bubble?

By Chris Yeh on April 16, 2012

Of course there’s a social media bubble. All over the map, everyone ranging from seed-stage investors to the public markets are paying inflated prices for social media assets. But while the current frenzy is a bubble, it doesn’t even come close to the magnitude and madness of the Dot-Com bubble. Back in those days, “eyeballs” […]

Don’t Try to “Pull an Instagram.” Here’s Why …

By Mark Suster on April 14, 2012

Instagram happens to be one of the few social networks I regularly use along […]

Why API's suck, and what they lack

Why API’s suck, and what they lack

By Martijn Linssen on March 29, 2012

The Social Media Movement is slowly moving towards monetisation. Social Business, yes even Social Enterprise, is neigh. Infographics bite the dust in an ever-increasing frenzy to prove that social is here to stay, to rule, to conquer the world! And as yet another evidence of that, API’s are brought forward – by the hundreds, no […]
