Let’s save the uplifting one for last.
VC Tax - Matt has been all over this one for quite some time now. It appears that even if a Democrat is elected to office, the VC tax will slow the internet economy down. That isn’t a good sign of things to come. Not saying that VC’s shouldn’t pay taxes, but right now the only economy worth a hoot is the online one. Why kill it?
Offshore we go – It appears that more US companies are establishing a foot hold offshore. Nice. That means, we all will have beach front property; well if you want to go work off shore in some 3rd world country where you need to drink bottled water, or even better – wine all the time because the bottled water isn’t pure either!
Facebook - Wow, Dave hit the nail on the head with this article. Kind of funny, as I have been debating in e-mail (semi-debating) why Facebook is working, and other things are not today. I agree, that Facebook is in the driver’s seat, but they need to forge ahead and do something now.
I know, I sound a little dramatic, but here is a good story. About 10 years ago a buddy of mine was living with me. He was 19 at the time. He was a whiz at everything computer. I mean an absolute whiz. I smiled and told him, “Don’t be so sure of yourself, as there are guys/gals that are like your brother’s age who will come up and pass you while flipping you the finger.”
I was right. For more info see – Mark Zuckerberg – who was probably all of 13 or 14 years old at the time of my statement. So my message to Mark is the same one I gave to my buddy 10 years or so ago. Think about that, and laugh if you want, but look what you did in the past few years. Don’t think it won’t happen again.
Technically Speaking, the Link Blog is updated. A few interesting items going on such as the big revelation of the iPhone and 25% of the customers that AT&T have signed up are switchers. Other than that, it’s Friday!
