The new Web 2.0: Frat culture with VC

by Jeff Hester · Jul 31, 2006

A great article on a cool IM start-up called Meetro. “…Meetro is six guys and an Internet startup crammed into a three-bedroom walk-up.” What a way to start a business! Meetro is actually pretty cool. IM with built-in location awareness. Find people within five miles, 100 miles, and so on. Neat stuff. read more | digg story

Why share knowledge?

by Jeff Hester · Jul 30, 2006

A few days ago, I answered the question “what is knowledge?” I’m going to take it one step further, outlining our personal knowledge deficiency, and why we need others to share their knowledge.

Floyd Landis and the Tour de France

by Jeff Hester · Jul 29, 2006

Last Sunday my neighbor Floyd Landis (actually, he lives a few miles from me) won the Tour de France. A few days later, controversy ensued as ICE announced that one of his six tests during the race showed a higher than normal testosterone level.

Knowledge Hoarding

by Jeff Hester · Jul 24, 2006

I ran across this rather disturbing quote on the web this morning: “Knowledge is power. Knowledge shared is power lost.” This is the very argument that keeps people from sharing knowledge — a fear that they will be giving up a portion of their power base. This irrational fear cripples people and prevents us from […]

Digg, Yahoo! and MySpace: All Go Down

by Jeff Hester · Jul 24, 2006

All of these mega properties have had recent outages. Where they differ is how they handled those outages and communicated to their community. Digg’s outage, which I mentioned last week, was brief. They did a decent job of communicating to visitors, explaining that the site was down and that they were working on it, and […]
