My goal with this blog

I write about relevant changes in the way that people use the web and how startups are built to provide services and products for this ever changing wonderful thing we still know as "the web." As a former entrepreneur turned early-stage investor, my greatest hope is for this to be useful to other folks that are like me in the hopes that they can avoid some of the mistakes I've made.

Some serious UNIX analogy power

There is an IBMer with a terrific blog post where he tells of describing all of this Web 2.0 hoopla to a friend as:

chmod 777 web


So in UNIX-speak this loosely means: allow anyone to read, write, and execute the web. Really cute, and really right on. Anyone who knows even a little bit of UNIX gets it right away.

Especially nice during this week of Web 2.0 trademark nonsense when people just decided to pile on poor Tim.
