Miscellany


  1. One of Avvo's co-founders is stepping down.  Not a shakeup, sez founder Mark Britton [Seattle PI's Venture Blog].  I'm still not sure how they are supposed to make money?  I can't see an ad driven model panning out.  We are a litigious society, but are we going to spend that much time surfing a website that provides information about lawyers? 

    Also, on an unrelated note, they've added some features that may result in lawyers litigating reputation-related issues again.  I'm thinking about the "no cause for concern" button that they've added. 

  2. Is Facebook slowing down?  (More importantly, how is it going to make money??) [NYT/DealBook]. 

  3. I tried out xobni's much heralded product.  So far, I'm loving it.  Some have complained (link) about slow downs as a result of installing it, but I'm having no problems.  I think this could be a very useful tool in organizing and taming your inbox (kudos to their branding team on the name).  Basically every time you click on an email, you are able to access a ton of historical information regarding the email and sender (previous emails, attachments, stats, phone numbers).  The whole "I'm looking through my email" thing will never be the same.

  4. I've caught the LinkedIn bug.  Funniest LinkedIn story.  I send my friend an invite and she says "you know I'm not going to accept your invitation because X is also one of my connections, and I know you and X don't get along." He hee.
