Optimism springs eternal at Web start-ups, VCs
Shared by Moah This post makes me happy UNLIKE the other gazillion articles that make me want to cry. And yes I fit into the category of those who can afford to go broke. No kids, no mortgage, no student loan, no car loan, cheap rent. My burn rate is as minimal as possible if [...]
New Lala.com may be (too) ahead of its time
Shared by Moah Alex has been gushing about Lala for a while. I still don’t quite know the appeal since I don’t seek out music much. I listen to whatever. but for music lovers out there, check it out and see how it goes. Lala is betting big that consumers will one day pay to [...]
Five great things about being CEO in a tech recession
