The Gillmor Gang — John Borthwick, Danny Sullivan, John Taschek, Kevin Marks, and Steve Gillmor — turned into Google fanboys on a dime, or $200, with the release of the Nexus 7 tablet. This thing is amazing,, small, fast, and did I mention $200. Just weeks after Microsoft Surface didn't ship, pre-ordered Nexi did, selling out in most if not all the stores that carried it.
The Gang touched on @borthwick's Digg acquisition and 11-day relaunch, but had no time to talk Yahoo and Mayer despite repeated requests from the producer and chatroom. It was all Nexus all the time. Did I mention it's $200?Latest Blog Entries

Just Like Everything Else In The Enterprise Space, Security Is About To Be Disrupted.
Posted On 21 Jul 2012 By David Ulevitch.. Under: Uncategorized.
Editor's Note: The following is a guest post by OPENDNS CEO David Ulevitch.
Disruption doesn’t happen in a vacuum, it happens in context. And there is no greater example of disruption than in the enterprise technology market right now. Much of this is largely thanks to changing enterprise landscapes (consumerization of IT, cloud apps, mobility), new sales models and innovative go-to-market strategies (SaaS, Yammer d’état, land-and-expand) that leave the entire space ripe for disruption.No Comments

Serendipity Isn’t A Use Case
Posted On 21 Jul 2012 By Jonathan Barouch. Under: Uncategorized.
When I started formulating the idea for my current startup, Roamz, the vision for the company was serendipitous discovery of the things happening around you. I imagined that we’d say to people “Want serendipity? Great download our app” and they’d respond “Yeah sure I was just looking for some serendipity”.
I quickly realized (the hard way) that you don't leave your house in the morning hoping that you will chance upon serendipity. You have a specific intent in mind: looking for a park for your kids, a cool cafe to grab a coffee or even simply to find a traffic-free route to work. If serendipity happens to occur in other ways then that’s a bonus and if not...then it is just another ordinary day.No Comments
