Dear Bill Gates…How NOT To Use Twitter
Hi Bill: I noticed you were using Twitter …finally. Ironic that Steve Jobs would stab himself in the eye before using Twitter and his stock is hitting all-time highs on the eve of your first tweet. I want to follow you, I even put you on MyShortList, but you are off to a horrendous start. …
Hey Internet (Google, Twitter, Facebook)…There is NO Such Thing as 'Open'…Just 'Open Enough'
The whole ‘Open’ internet meme has always been something I try to avoid because I believe it’s a circle jerk. If you have an open mind you know that open is a fantasy, a myth. No business or person can survive totally open, save Bill Clinton. You are open until you need to make a …
Deep Market Thoughts…Overnight Success is a Myth!
I have no doubt that the mobile and social web are in inning TWO to borrow from my often used baseball analogy. The veteran venture capitalist in mobile will tell you horror stories and to stay away from this ‘Fekukta’ space, but I just think they were too early. The iPhone was day one of …

Follow me on Twitter…'Stock Twits'
Lot’s of questions and emails about trading and the markets so if a few hundred of you sign up for Twitter and get involved, I will start using it as a think out loud community tool for investing. I do now, but I would like to use it more as I think the market is …
Internet Animal Spirits…RERUN?
The last internet bubble was marked by the AOL/Time Warner merger. Here’s what we have going on today: 1. The Facebook/Microsoft chatter is now deafening. 2. Amazon is back at all-time highs and has an iTunes killer? :) 3. RIMM goes up 5 percent a day, so does Apple and Baidu. Most important, the laggard …
Looking at MY WASTE 2.0
All this bathroom twittering has me thinking about waste. In that spirit, I am taking my DJO buyout money and the profits from yesterday’s big surge and redistributing the cash into waster services. Obviously we covered WCN so am adding that to my portfolio. I would say it’s a leader in this CRAP industry :) …
