Will Zuckerberg's IPO letter be as inspiring as Larry Page's? The same media frenzy of interest that we see today in the Facebook IPO we saw with Google in 2004... I remember vividly the day Google filed its "red herring" with the SEC in preparation for its IPO. I was out at lunch when our bureau chief Richard Waters, called me, "They've filed." We were expecting it any day and this was the day, finally an end to what seemed an endless cacophony of speculation in the media and Wall Street about how much money Google was making, its capital costs, etc. We would finally see the audited financial reports -- and that document would immediately establish a new benchmark representing the business model to beat for this next generation of Internet companies. My colleague Scott Morrison ran back to the Financial Times' office by Union Square, where our hard working laser printers were churning and spitting page after page, hundreds of pages were piling up. It was an extraordinary document. Wow. It's a damn fine Founder's Letter the best I've ever seen.

Letterpop U.S.: Google’s acquisition of Motorola is a go Google headquarters must be all high-fives today. Just hours after the European Commission cleared the company’s proposed acquisition of Motorola, the U.S. Department of Justice has given its approval on the deal as well. “The division concluded that the specific transactions at issue are not likely to significantly change existing market dynamics,” the Department of Justice said in a press release today that concerned Google’s Motorola acquisition and its approval of the Nortel and Novell patent sales to other major tech companies. The U.S. and EU had been looking closely at the Google acquisition of Motorola because of possible antitrust issues. Google deflected those concerns by saying that it is in the company’s best interest to maintain the Android ecosystem and not give Motorola advantages over mobile device manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC, and LG. The primary reason Google said it wants Motorola is to own its patents, which will help Google better defend Android from lawsuits.

Snatch - Le magazine des bons et des méchants A Long-Term Survival Guide - How to Make Bamboo Joints Flickr co-founder Caterina Fake rolls out Pinwheel | Bootstrap The co-founder of Flickr and Hunch is out with her latest startup, called Pinwheel. Caterina Fake just launched it in private beta, and the site--and its name--at first glance seems similar to Pinterest , one of the fastest-growing sites on the Web. Fake raised $7.5 million, with Redpoint Ventures leading the round. Other investors include Ron Conway's SV Angel and The Obvious Corp., run by Twitter founders Ev Williams and Biz Stone. That's big money for a startup that's just rolling out and so far has no users. "I'd probably invest in Caterina even if I was unsure of the idea," said Geoff Yang, a Redpoint founding partner who is joining the board of Pinwheel. So what is Pinwheel? The notes can be public or private, shared with an individual, a group, or everyone. Fake sold her first startup, Flickr, to Yahoo in 2005 for a reported $35 million.

FiveThirtyEight A Flock of Twitters: Decentralized Semantic Microblogging In my last article, Flocking To the Stream, I ended with this thought about the growing issue of social-networking fatigue: …as the number of streams continue to increase and as the flow rate of each stream picks up, people will grow tired of having to subscribe to, having to join yet-another-stream phenomenon (YASP). Does the Web truly need additional stream providers each with their own data silos? Is there a user-centric solution to this rapidly growing, overflowing-stream issue that puts YASP to rest once and for all? This article answers these two questions in great detail but the succinct preview version is as follows: Table of Contents Since some of the following may be too generic for more advanced readers, I’m providing this Table of Contents to help readers navigate to those parts with which they may have the most interest. Although you should feel free to skip ahead, doing so might result in missing a crucial connection. A Web of Damned Streams A Flock of Twitters A final point.

Paid Search Is About Process, Not Planning Many times we’re asked to present a plan for the next 30 – 60 – 90 days of a paid search program. This makes a great deal of sense when we bring a new client on board and have to fix or re-build their program. It takes time to build out a program comprehensively and laying out the priorities helps manage expectations. After that point that request for a “vision” or “plan” reveals a fundamental misunderstanding about the nature of paid search marketing. Paid search is an amazingly powerful channel for capturing existing demand. For demand generating channels planning is of paramount importance. Paid search is different in every respect. This is not to suggest that paid search requires no work. However, it doesn’t really require a plan. Asking an analyst for a long range plan for a paid search campaign is like asking your stock broker what stocks you should buy and which you should sell 6 months from now. Absence of “a plan” is unsettling, particularly when you’re working with an agency.
