On that note, does someone know of any good statistics that show how well "niche" social networks fare in the light of the growth of the general purpose monster Facebook? I like very specific-purposed social networks, but I was wondering wh

On that side note, does anyone know what ever happened to Goldman Sach's special vehicle for outside Facebook investments? I.e what stops companies from setting up their own vehicles for the stock options of their employee's to avoid the 50

Liked the post a lot, there are a lot of things wrong with the investing and valuations frenzy these days. Personally, I was wondering whether a hybrid model is possible: while I do wanna grow organically from the profits of my company, I'm

Very interesting mention of BrowserID. I am currently working on an identity/authentication service and was wondering how great the demand for it is
