New VC Blog To Check Out- Adventurista
Sarah Travel from Bessemer Ventures just started a new blog. Cool thing is, she’s young, and sounds like she can kick ass (Well, her picture on the blog says not to mess with her, so I’ll take her word).

Without Focus and Scale a Startup Will Die
I think there are two key traits I’ve learned over the past two years that a startup needs: Focus and Scale. They are two intertwined characteristics. Your focus is strengthened by your scale, and vice versa. I’ve touched upon this aspect before, but have never done an in-depth post on the issue.

Why Can’t Companies Just Give Customers What They Want- Youtube/Verizon, Amazon Unboxed, and Zune. (Yes, this is a rant where I rip them apart)
It’s always boggled my mind, literally perplexed me, why companies don’t give the customers what they want. It’s almost like they go out of the way to make a product as bad as possible. These are companies worth billions of dollars with tons of resources. Is it stubborn executives who think “they get […]

The Holy Grail- “Online OS’”
Everyone has their holy grail in technology. For some it’s the semantic web, for some it’s online services (Jeff Bezos), and for some it’s singularity. If you were to ask me, what is my Holy Grail or something I’d like to see or be a part of, it’s the evolution of the “Online Operating System”. […]

Customer Service Is a Deal Breaker For Any Business
So this is sort of a rant and sort of a business post. I went to pick my car up before heading up north two hours for Thanksgiving. Something had been wrong with the coolant/ hoses. When I got there I had been hit with some pretty random charges. They also diagnosed my vehicle for […]
