1) I chuckled when I first heard ‘jumped the shark’. But am now tired of it. The term itself has, well, errm…. jumped the shark. [nice to see in that last one that the new editor of Wonkette is still on the ball]. We need a new term that means the same thing. Creative (funny) readers — I leave this up to you. I will try to post one suggestion for everyone that is left here — maybe we can stumble onto something.

2) Heard a great throw away line in a meeting the other day. “You need to fix what’s wrong before you scale. If you don’t, you just scale the problem with you”. At the time it was a perfect thing to say.

3) Daniel I know I haven’t given a lot of attention to topics you’re interested in… my problem is that my thoughts jump all over the place. Plant a seed through email and steer me back towards VC innovation. Hope you’re doing well.

4) Martin does a nice job discussing the good and the bad (read the comments) of Jet Blue’s viral campaign.

5) A good (but long) read on the background story for Facebook.

6) I like the business model behind Bag Borrow or Steal. A Technorati search for the company produces a lot of recent posts like this (40 days ago) and a tonne of older posts like this (279 days ago).

7) Liz lays out some good reasons for link love (“The blogging version of spring would have to be link love”). As usual, the best content is in the comments: “I don’t understand the folks who hoard their links. It’s not like there’s a link account that gives interest”.
