What a whirlwind tour Seattle was— really an enjoyable weekend with friends.
I was able to grab the mic and record a podcast with Kimm Viebrock who was the very first person from Seattle to find out about Startup Weekend and reach out to me. Kimm and the room of 122 showed me how Seattle works (must have process!) and a huge thing or two about the concept and how it can be improved. This was recorded 10 minutes from launch while walking through the big room at the Adobe offices in Fremont.

Five Startup Weekend Los Angeles founders discuss their thoughts on “The Power of Doing it Now.” This conversation was just starting when I walked upon it, and thought it would make a really interesting podcast. In the episode, the founders share their thoughts on collaboration, speed, inspiration and community (and how participating in SW has jumpstarted their old projects).

So today was the day of the great day for conversations on the web, spurred by one single post, and the aftermath has been called “The great Jeremiah Owyang Twitter expansion of 2007.” In the post, titles so boldly “Some Conversations have shifted to Twitter” Jeremiah describes who he thinks twitter is for and not.
If you’re in the tech industry, and in marketing, you should be paying attention to what’s happening on twitter. There’s even search tools that can help you find discussions and memes. Also, if you’re trying to reach early adopters, these are tools for you. This really reminds me of the the whole blogging industry in 2005, it’s the same type of pros and cons –it’s just much smaller now. If you don’t meet these criterion, then it may not be for you, always remember to find the audience you’re trying to reach first.
For episode #5 Rana and Andrew (or as this discussion goes, @ranajune and @andrewhyde) discuss what it means to form the conversation, how it affects startups and Twitter best practices. Oh the joys of an entire podcast dedicated to the 140 character update.

The Facebook Beacon story seems to be everywhere now, so todays episode is dedicated to just that.

Zuckerberg Becon Apology: Thoughts on Beacon
50M Facebook users don’t care about OpenSocial APIs
Official Beacon Page: (as of 12/5/07)
User privacy is extremely important to Facebook. We designed Facebook Beacon to enable effortless sharing, but we’ve also put in features to protect user privacy. When you send an action to Facebook, the user is immediately alerted of the story you wish to publish and will be alerted again when they sign into Facebook. The user must proactively consent to have a story from your website published.
