A VC: Are You Bored?

• Mark Cuban thinks the Internet is boring, Fred Wilson thinks otherwise - and this is my first bookmark with a Firefox extension called Diigo that sways me toward Fred’s perspective in terms of technology. But if we’re talking about content, utility, or creativity - then I’m with Mark. The volume of content has exploded, with diminishing returns. Blogs and same-as-the-other-guys big media sites dominate our attention, but I want to find sites that suck me in, that astonish and inspire me, that keep me up late. Yes, they are out there, and I’d have to think there are many more than I know about. But on a day-to-day basis, I don’t find them. COuld be I don’t try. And I find myself enjoying the Net less and less. - post by anachison

From Techcrunch:

Odeo Releases Twttr, which is a sort of “group send” SMS application. Each person controls their own network of friends. When any of them send a text message to “40404,” all of his or her friends see the message via sms…People are using it to send messages like “Cleaning my apartment” and “Hungry”. You can also add friends via text message, nudge friends, etc. It really a social network around text messaging - and is very similar to another service called Dodgeball.

I’m testing Tony Perkins’ new corporate social networking platform, called Going On. It includes blogging features that allow me to cross post to a blog on his service - and on my own blog. But I’m still looking for the network membership tools - to see if this has any utility in launching a network, or if it’s just a hybrid profile/publishing system.
