Further, its usually a waste of time talking to associates or principles (ie non partners) if your in the early stage. At the later stage, most of these guys are irrelevent anyway. Best, bF Mike,

Lot's of interesting things come out of Europe these days as penetration of broadband and mobile has been much higher/faster than in the US. Only a few guys like Morten Lund, Soren Kenner and myself focus on that space. No wonder we all work together :) Net,

Morten was the one guys who seed invested in Skype when nobody believed in them. Recently he invested in Maxthon and Zecco + much more coming. AND he is Danish - not a US based investor. BTW, I think it is wise of many of the guys that "dont't get it" as you say, not to invest in tagging and all the social media hype. There is very little business in it with a few excpetions. The fact that Yahoo bought Delicious (which is a great service) does not mean that there is business in it - just an excit (which is always nice of course).
