We've all seen little, itty-bitty startups with execs with title like EVP of this or SVP of that. Unfortunately they're silly and unnecessary. To a VC it screams this guy or gal doesn't get it - startups aren't about titles, startups are about producing a winning company. Excessive titles are ...
Tom from EchoDitto has built a tool that solves the problem of all those partial post RSS feeds that are bugging the heck out of me. Here's a link to his Full RSS Feed web service - http://labs.echoditto.com/fulltextrss. Highly recommended and works like a charm. Major props ...
The final straw to me was when freakonomics was bought recently by the nytimes and as part of the new regime their feed changed from complete posts to teaser posts. As someone who reads almost all his rss feeds on his blackberry curve to kill time during the day, it's ...
Yep another Facebook post (hopefully I won't turn into Dave McClure <jk>) but I think the reaction to Trip Advisor's purchase of the Where I've Been FB app for $1.30 per user or $3 million for 2.3 million users justifies some analysis. Not only is the word insane used ...

Found via Digg - here's a no-holds barred q&a with the head of TSA on why the 3oz liquid rule is in effect. I share much of the same skepticism as the questioner but the direct answers at least show there's a debate. Good read for frequent travelers like myself.
Dave McClure puts down the Facebook crackpipe to grok about Google Analytics and how it represents another layer of Google's online marketing dominance. And Dave's right - Dave and I talked extensively about this notion back at the Web Analytics Summit in SF back in May (just took Dave 2 ...
Dave Winer has been bloggingabout feedburner in response to Google's acquisition of the company. Dave is concerned about how Google might co-opt feedburner to their benefit - ie. special tie-in's to google reader for instance that might put other readers at a disadvantage (hmmm sounds a lot like what Microsoft ...
