You Haven’t Got It
I’m back. Thank God. I didn’t blog most of the past year because I was writing a book that I got actual money for (just so you know, blogs don’t really pay) and because I just didn’t have an angle. Not sure I do now…

If CES Were Held In Fresno, No One Would Go
I think Tech reporters really only care about CES because it is in Las Vegas. If the show were held in a place like Fresno or Akron does anyone really believe reporters would trek from all over the world to see LG’s new roll-up screen? Of course not….
Only Tech Reporters Care About CES
Nearly every major online publication (and print for that matter) are sending at least one reporter to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) – and no one, except those reporters, actually cares what comes out of the show. It’s all the same –…
Aereo Will Fail
Make no mistake – there is no chance Aereo will survive longer than two or three years. That’s a best-case scenario. Broadcast Networks are dying (it’s true) and will be dead in their current form within five years. In five years, who is going to…
The Pathetic, Sleazy World Of Facebook ‘Likes’
Companies who believe that having millions of “Likes” on Facebook is important to their bottom line have it absolutely wrong. “Liking” Coke or “Liking” The Avengers on Facebook isn’t going to make a person drink more Coke or see The Avengers more times – it…
Stuck Between Old and New Media
Hollywood is stuck. New York is stuck. Silicon Valley is stuck. No one can really do anything too exciting because old media is still hanging around – refusing to give up the crown. Don’t get me wrong – OLD MEDIA IS DYING – but they’re…
2013: Endgame For Moguls
Old Hollywood just got another year older and closer to death. In fact, it’s getting harder and harder for Old Hollywood to get out of bed in the morning. Food doesn’t taste as good. Hangovers are a daily occurrence. In short, Old Hollywood is not…
Facebook Is Irrelevant
So… Facebook has announced it has passed ONE BILLION USERS. Sounds like a reason for a huge celebration. What an amazingly awesome global community! We should all rejoice together because we built it… together! But unlike the supermarket that rewards its one millionth customer with…
Should We Believe Facebook’s Earnings?
Today is a big day for FB:NASDAQ. The first earnings release after a pretty crappy IPO. Needless to say, earnings and guidance must destroy expectations. This is important for everyone who has a stake in the company – from those who had blind faith in…
Facebook And The Disappearing Valuation (A Fairy Tale)
Once upon a time, in the tiny hamlet of Menlo Park, California, there was a company called Facebook. This company was unlike any other (sorry, make that ‘like MANY others’) in that it connected people from around world through a magical and glorious technical achievement…
