Love–and Being a CEO–Means Always Having to Say You’re Sorry

So, Mark Zuckerberg apologized.
Yes, he took too long to do it. Yes, he was dumb to release a product, Beacon, without thinking through the potential privacy implications. Yes, it was a big black eye for the Facebook founder.
But good for him.
While some are arguing that no one but the press and privacy advocates cared [...]

Facebook as Online Ad Nirvana?

The GigaOM Show Embeds …

The ever helpful Jim Louderback–now of Revision3, who works with Om Malik at his GigaOM show on that video site–comes through with an embeddable show.
And I only had to ask nice once after I complained in a post here that the online video show was not viral. Horrors!
Malik hosts the interview show weekly with lawyer [...]

It’s True: A VC’s Life Is Like a Day at the Beach

I motored on out to Stinson Beach, the lovely coastal community about an hour’s drive north of San Francisco, yesterday for the annual get-together thrown by True Ventures, a venture firm.

I missed the clambake part of the event–my kids need tending, so I can’t be all Elvis-acting!–but had a nice time chatting with its partners [...]

I Heart Biofuels
