While working, I often listen to YouTube videos in the background, much like a podcast. Depending on what I am working on and the degree to which the video is compelling, my focus on the video’s content fades in and out.

Everything you ever wanted to know about advisors, Part 1 - Venture Hacks

http://venturehacks.com/articles/advisors They provide advice, introductions, investment, and social proof. Any combination of these is useful, except for an advisor who just provides social proof—savvy folks don’t take those advisors seriously. 2. Should I put together a board of advisors? A “board” of advisors is not a formal legal entity like a board of directors, which is defined in the Constitution and shit.
It’s too soon for rigorous data analysis. I don’t have surveys. But I’ve been through about 120 startup business plans in the last month and it seems like there’s a big shift. There’s a lot more science and a lot less web.

All of these networks share a common point – it’s easy to get connections and to see what you’re doing.
