So You Want to be a VC?
From Rob Go: 4. VC is about being an investor. I find that I tend to have these conversations more often with former operators or folks with a professional service background. VC seems attractive because you get to work with entrepreneurs, see companies across a broad set of sub-sectors, and can help multiple companies facing a variety of important decisions. All of this is true. But what’s...

Thoughts on Path
The new Path is really pretty. Actually, the old Path was really pretty too, but it never had a chance. It had a weird reverse-friending model that no one understood and an arbitrary low limit of 50 friends. It had no real leg-up over existing services like Instagram or Twitter, and was often next in the joke-butts line, after the disastrous Color. So what makes the new version so buzz-worthy? ...

stevenf: I joked to my wife, “what we just did with that video was straight out of an Apple commercial.”  That’s the funny thing about Apple commercials, though. They’re not sci-fi pipe dreams selling you a promise of a future that might be. They really built that stuff, and you can do it right now.  This.
