What is the value of a social networking profile?

Direct ad sales and startups

BeyondVC

I have recently met a number of startups with interesting consumer applications or services. As expected, many of these startups have a vision to rely on advertising to pay the bills.

Welcome to the Widget Wars

Eric Friedman

There will always be wars between dueling hardware, software, platforms, websites and more. A few years ago the browser wars basically ended. Some may say it is still being waged but the recent shut down of Netscape marked the true end. The thought has been brewing in my mind for awhile about the “battles” being waged across different sites, platforms, operating systems, and other areas.
