Here’s a video from ZDNet that features part of a round table about consumer-generated media at the AlwaysOn Stanford Summit in Palo Alto, Calif. At first I’m bored by Chad. Then Michael kicks in, and I almost think we’ll have an intelligent debate. But it seems like the themes are: YouTube is creating a stage…
Revver, one of the less popular video sites, just got invited to the “big media” party. In its B round funding, Comcast Interactive Capital and Turner Broadcasting have invested. Revver will use the funding to drive market expansion, team-building and technology development. This is fairly significant news as it’s the first start-up in the online…
In the interest of search-engine optimizing this video, I had to give up the punchline in this post’s title. What happens when you meet a hot woman at a bar and she happens to be bald (or, uhm, suffering from “male pattern baldness”?

A direct lift from PaidContent.org on July 24. I really can’t add any insights, but it seems to be important. The best judge of future entrepreneurial success is past entrepreneurial success.
