Chief Love Officer
Posted by Ross Mayfield
"The real story is that I'm actually acquiring Oracle," Abrams said. "And Bill Clinton is becoming our Chief Love Officer."
Hail the chief.
Not too far from the fake,
Google Rumored to Acquire Friendster:
When asked in recent days about its supposedly impending investment in Friendster, a Kleiner VC is said to have replied that it was on ice while one of its other companies evaluated the prospect of acquiring Friendster.
Guess that would solve the
business model question. AdWords for dating.
Social Search. LJ community for Blogger.
Anyway, more
bubblet hucksterism:
"I'm projecting that a minibubble, a bubblet, is about to happen, and you'll see VCs each funding some sort of social-networking company," said Perkins. "And I actually believe that social networking is a huge area.
Perkins may have motives of his own for stoking the Friendster hype. His Always On Network, which launched as a sort of general interest Slashdot with a blogging component, plans in November to add what Perkins calls "a Friendster-type look and feel where you'll be able to link other members to your own profile."
Perkins and others looking into the social-networking idea may want to tread carefully with their knock-offs. Earlier this month, Abrams warned he has something that on the hypercompetitive Web is better than friends: patents pending.
There will be lots of graphs, but that there are limits on the number of graphs that can exist and number of businesses a that are viable.

Anyone aware of Friendster-like communities being offered to either 1) students at a large university 2) alumni of a large university?
Thoughts or suggestions encouraged.

Built one for another school, but if you contacted them you would probably have to scream: Take Off That Red Shirt!

Being a newby on the computer I did a search in the search engines on a "professional real estate blog" and I found your professional web blog. Let me introduce myself, I am a Halifax Real Estate Agent in Nova Scotia, Canada and I was told that blogs were discussions on specific topics which made me interested in searching specifically for a real estate blog. It seemed like an interesting way to see what trends and technology are happening in the real estate market in other parts of the world besides Halifax. I am considering a blog for myself if I can understand the technology of operating a blog and from what I see I am somewhat hesitant right now even though it was interesting reading.
Respectfully yours
