Web Discussions: Flat by Design
It's been six years since I wrote Discussions: Flat or Threaded? and, despite a bunch of evolution on the web since then, my opinion on this has not fundamentally changed. If anything, my opinion has strengthened based on the observed data: precious few threaded discussion models survive on t...
I too use an iPhone and my list is basically the same. No longer use: Canon point-and-shoot camera, Sony Camcorder, Garmin GPS, bedside alarm clock, iPod. (wristwatch substitution happened way-back in the days of the pager, for me)

Allen - Great post. Nice and concise way to put it: "schedule-altering behavior" = VC is in fact interested.

Walk the Walk, Not Talk the Talk
As in many other situations involving asymmetric power relationships, VC’s (who usually have the power) like to preserve optionality with startups in which they’re interested. That is, VCs generally will try to keep interesting deals “on the hook” until they have to make a decision (usually dri...
