Attention…Is There a Playbook?
I have gotten a little Attention lately…Stocktwits too. I would like to think that attention just gets in the way of hard work, good ideas and good execution, but Attention, like life, is not fair. On Thursday I got to speak in front of about 80 Phoenix entrepreneurs about ‘The Real’ Tim Web. I worked …

Falafel and Foursquare…A Match Made in Hummus

Deep Spam Thoughts…Media is Free. Attention is Priceless.

This tremendous slideshow that Fred Wilson posted from David Gillespie got me thinking and writing: Digital Strangelove (or How I Learned To Stop …
Don’t Fear the Social Web Bubble…Embrace It.

Persistently low interest rates leads to bubbles. It is obviously intoxicating for governments to just ‘ease baby ease’. It’s Pavlovian …
The CME and Stocktwits…Da Merc!
Back in the heyday of trending stocks in 2007, the CME was the shizzle. I know this because we Wallstripped them in one of my faves: Today, the CME Group it’s a global $23 billion powerhouse of exchange, data and trading floors . The Company is all over ‘real time’ and social web and Allan …
Yahoo and The Biggest Loser…Shedding Fat

Actually, there is one story on TechMeme…the …
