It is a very fine line, man.

I never noticed it before but I think the CEO of youtube looks a little like a down syndrome kid.

Good to hear these stories for something different and motivating. A long reading though.

I think it would end up completely killing the net connection. Videos are going up on the TC40 website though as they become available. Check Powerset for the first session.

I would say these are useless posts on TC40. I will wait for the complete summary once the conference is over.

Nobody has time for the meaningless half-sentences and interprete the complete picture.

Thanks for this article Duncan.

Even though TechCrunch is mostly a blog, it would be great to see interviews with material such as this published here. I know there are a ton of startups that read this site and pray that they too can become what these guys have. It is always encouraging to read that the success stories all evolved from pretty much the same environment.

Steve Ballmer — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 20:40:04 +0000

Duncan! Who the H@#$ are these pimple-faced kids and rejects you have up there? Where is my invitation? I have given you guys chance after chance to get me as your real keynoter but I get no reply! I am almost beginning to believe that you don’t want me. I can fly in any time in the next few days, I bring my own enthusiastic crowd.
Time is a-wasting dude!

TechCrunch40 Update : Humble Beginnings - A Review…

For those who have read my morning post on TechCrunch40 : Whats Hot in San Francisco Today , they ( and me too ) would be waiting miserably for one of the most exiting discussions in the TC40 , and that is the Keynote panel where the Sequoia’s Michae…

Now you see why Search Engines Web had been insisting - during previous blog posts - that these moments be archived for future generations …..

As well as offering live coverage for this world wide readership.

Does anyone else see how historically important a meeting like that was and why it should be videoed for Internet historians.

Hopefully, the ENTIRE video will be put on YouTube - we have to think about the people around the globe and future generations who may be doing research about this period.

It would be extremely selfish NOT to release this to public domain.

Lol, nowadays one has to clarify that Andreessen was originally CTO and co-founder of Netscape? That’s amazing.

Great startup advice form Marc: have a founder CEO, and don’t hire too many people too quickly. Hm, wonder how much that was from the Netscape experience

I’m doing a series on the TC40 - Faroo was my second post:

http://techfold.com/2007/09/17.....c40-faroo/

“Warning Bells: Revenue sharing is commonly a prop to support a core business that doesn’t have the strength to stand on its own. Faroo results will be based on popularity - a poor proxy for either quality or relevance. Similarly, Faroo’s results will be a thin slice of the net. Finally: Faroo’s website talks about Faroo as an alternative to [Google’s] “info monopoly” - mixing “information wants to be free!!1!” politics with business is a warning sign about the company’s readiness to compete on the main stage. Basically no barriers to entry.”
