Best analysis of Web 2.0 so far
Now Playing: TimG - Bloc of Nails (NIN & Bloc Party mashup)
Topic: Web 2.0
Fred Wilson's VC Blog has been one of my new favorite blogs lately, not the least of which is his "Positively 10th Street" podcast that he does with his family. I've have quite a few good music suggestions from listening to his podcast (including Josh Rouse, Bloc Party, and M. Ward) and have to compliment Fred and family on their musical choices. I've never met him but given his taste in music, he must be a cool guy). I hesitate to use the word charming because that sounds too quaint; refreshing and inviting may be the best ways to describe the podcast.

Fred continued with his eBay/Skype post, referencing Reed's Law, which I've never heard of. Dig deeper by reading and looking at Umair's graphs at Bubblegeneration, which shows Metcalfe's Law (a linear network-value relationship) and Reed's Law (a exponential network-value relationship). I wonder if John Furrier at Podtech.net has read any of this material?

Fascinating ideas I think, wish I had made the connection myself. This analysis is still a work in progress but its exciting and energizes me about what's coming on the tech/internet horizon in the next couple of years.

Oh yeah, the word on AJAX is out (was I the only who didn't know this?), read a blurb on it in Business2 magazine. And here I was thinking that I'm ahead of the curve, oops. At least I'm still cool, though, because now my blog has this neat ribbon making fun of people using Internet Explorer. Ahh, I feel better now...now it's time for bed.
