What would you ask Fred Wilson? How about Don Dodge?

TieCon East 2008

I’m going to be moderating the Web 2.0: Viable Business Model or Bursting Bubble? panel at TiECON East 2008 later this week (May 30th).

The panelists I’ll be interviewing are:

Early this year Fred blogged about Twitter’s Business Model. Given Twitter’s downtime these days seems like a great time to follow-up on that post.

If you have any suggestions for what I should ask any of the panelists please post a comment.

The Business of APIs

Business of APIs Conference

Going to be back in my hometown NYC next week!

On Monday I’ll be speaking at the Business of API’s Conference at the Yale Club.

This is the second year for the conference, the first was hosted in San Francisco and drew an impressive crowd. This year’s speakers include Jeremy Zawodny of Yahoo, Ty Ahmad of MTV and Brad Burnham of Union Square Ventures.

On Tuesday I’ll be meeting some of our east coast angel investors for the first time. Looking forward to it!

I’ll also be interviewing some NYC engineers to join the Lookery team while down in NY. Know any great engineers? Please send them my way.

Lots and lots of worthless data

These are the slides from my talk on turning seemingly worthless data into a valueable asset. I presented these at the Business of APIs conference in San Francisco yesterday.

I’ll be in San Francisco lobbyconning Web2.0 and other events for the rest of the week.

Do you have worthless data?

My partner Scott Rafer gave a talk this week at Founder Hacks II.

His secret to starting a business? Get lots of people to send you their seemingly worthless data.

At Compete we sat on a goldmine of data.

At Lookery we’re off to a good start. We’ve been running in private beta for about 9 weeks and have already served about 1/4 billion ads, not bad.
