10 Reasons the “Ad Crisis” is a Myth

To readers: Yes, yes, a REAL blog post. Hold your applause, cause this’ll probably be the only one this month!
Based on Beth Comstock’s remarks earlier this week, the web has been all afroth with news about how ad-supported startups are going to die because, to quote Beth

Life Management: Basics of Time Management

Intro

The Ensight Life Management Course: Introduction

Over the last few months, the b5media team has been growing. Fairly quickly. In fact, it’s been growing faster than we’d projected. Part of this is due to the cold hard reality that none of us has run a company this large before, so it was easy to forget about a position like an Office […]

Why b5media Doesn’t Have “Big Blogs” (or: playing to niches, giving readers choice)

A recent post by Jason Calacanis reminded me that we don’t often talk about the b5media model.
Weblogs, Inc. and Gawker are the two biggest. Nothing else even comes close. I mean, B5 Media raised some money but can you name their top blog?

Outgrowing the b5media Basement

It’s funny, of all the things I though b5 would become known for, our workspace was never one of them. However, as part of keeping costs down, Mark and I have been spending a fair amount of time huddled together in my basement. I think people started talking about it after Mark did a presentation […]

My Funding Speech

It’s not often I get to give speeches. So I was pretty saddened to find out that there weren’t like academy awards for raising funding or something. Not that b5 would necessarily deserve an award (ahem, yet), but I had one all ready and rarin’ to go.

My Business Cards

For the TechCrunch event, I had some new cards made up. They were a huge hit. Hell, I even got a Robert Scoble post all about them :-D
I’ve always, always had issues with business cards. After every event, I try and email folk to say thanks and see if there are any opportunities there. But […]
