TweetMy buddy Mike has only literally sent me 3 emails in the past 10 years (literally, since 1996 or 1997) and has been working at Regal Cinemas for the past 10 years. So needless to say, I don’t get to see his writing all that often — like, ever. He just did a reply-all to [...]

TweetAnother idea for NYC Startup Weekend this weekend… The Idea: Social Search Engine [take on Google!] (fb app / browser plugin / toolbar) The Concept: Take-on Google with a social search application. Users do a search using our Search Engine in Facebook [using Google Co-Op] and the user can specify if something was a good [...]

TweetI’m looking for a WordPress theme for a new site I’m going to be launching. I’m looking for one that can display your typical final 2 columns of ads much like TechCrunch, Read/Write Web, JohnChow, etc. Anyone have suggestions? Template Monster has designs and then there’s a tool to rip a website’s WordPress design off [...]

TweetSubmitting this to Startup Weekend NYC this weekend. The Idea: The Greatest Menu Meals (fb app initially) The Concept: Users rate specific meals on the menu of restaurants. We’d have menu’s for restaurants and users could specify what they thought of various meals — it would also be a reminder to them (personally) to know [...]

TweetI’m submitting this in the pool of ideas for Startup Weekend NYC this coming weekend. The Idea: Where I Hang Out (fb app) The Concept: Users specify the bars/restaurants/coffee joints that they frequent. Thus I may say that last night I was at Hardware (bar/restaurant), 67 West (bar), and Level (bar/dance club). I might have [...]

TweetOverall the weekend was a blast — but not exactly what I expected. I had my own expectations of the weekend after hearing about the Boulder Startup Weekend. I had expectations of a lot of fun, meeting new people (crazy people — entrepreneurs — like me), knockin back some beers, and building something cool. There [...]

TweetIf you’re in Toronto or NYC, be sure to either sign-up or just stop-by the StartupWeekends that are planned. This weekend (tomorrow) is Toronto and the following weekend is NYC. If you’re attending either, leave a comment on this post — and I’ll see you there!

TweetSeth Godin has a post up about giving away ideas and how execution is the real hard part. It’s the truth. Personally, giving away ideas is like therapy for me — or rather, a necessity. My Mom has had the perfect analogy so far for me — it’s as if I’m in the bottom of [...]

TweetIt’s not quite Kevin Rose style, but it’s still a mention in BusinessWeek. Attorney Jay Parkhill (advised me during my Ringside Startup social experiment) also made it in the article.

TweetI think there’s enough open architecture in the Facebook API that would allow someone to create a Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo! Mail/Zimbra copycat. The current Facebook mail/messaging is very simple (no BCC, no forwarding, no quick access to your contacts). You would need to have your own domain that you open up as the “free” email address domain [...]
