Facebook goes in content targeting

Its about time a social network started to target the content users willingly submit on their social profiles- just a no-brainer if you'd ask me. If you really think about it over 90% of MySpace's revenue comes from search with their Billion dollar Google deal.

After spending 2 days pitching to VC's and hearing the news about Facebook's revelations on search - i realized what had to be done. We have to figure out our potential search gains. With over 10 Million visits to our site to date this could be the missing link for VC's to gain their undoubted "YES"! This was really spawned from my meeting with Mike Brown from Foundation Capital he asked different probing questions about my vision and the future of the web and that felt really nice for a change...I can't wait to sit with him more often to bounce more philosophical theories about where i think the web is going.

Earlier on Thursday we met with Azure Venture Capital it was an associate named Barry Chubrik the pre-screener and numbers cruncher to make sure that we are the kind of stuff Azure would even come close to wanting to hear a pitch from. The first thing he says when entering the room on the 11th floor conference room overlooking all of San Francisco bay was I only have 30 minutes. Albeit nice, he carried with him that arrogance of "I have my MBA from a tier 1 school so my time is much more important than yours" - I found him pretty intriguing nonetheless. He didn't know a thing about our niche, but mustered up a few common names in the industry like NING.

After that meeting I had to yet again make some updates to our next meeting with Mike Brown...which turns out he didn't really seem to care too much about the sale but more about the vision and the genuine interest to want to help. We had talked about a month prior on the phone. I owe my thanks to that intro from Nathan at Limelight.

A few applications and tools we plan on building include email aggregation similar to what a group of developers have done at Fuser out of Boulder and a browser application ...can you tell we're preparing for some new updates before "Back To School" !!!
