Web 2.0 Logo Color Palette for Photoshop
Proof that if good or interesting news sits out on the web long enough, it will make it’s way to the forefront eventually. A piece that ran in February 2006 over at Milesā Blog Ā» The Web 2.0 Secret Weapon, is on the Digg front page today. Basically Miles created a color palatte or swatch if you will that breaks out varying levels of colors by Web 2.0 companies. It’s almost like fusing Web 2.0 with Pantone. Now SwissMiss revisited…
The Evolution of Social Media Press Release Distribution and Technorati Tags
As the future of Social Media Press Releases takes shape, it will take a community effort to keep it on track as well as encouraging mass adoption.

October 2006 Silicon Valley NewTech Meetup
While Alison McNeill attended the del.icio.us Birthday Bash, I co-hosted the Silicon Valley NewTech Meetup with Keith Vu, while Vincent Lauria was traveling to NY. Keith Vu Exciting indeed as it was definitely one of the largest events to date. There were some familiar faces and it was great to see new attendees as well. At over 600 current members, the monthly event is showing only signs of tremendous growth – which may require a new, bigger venue soon. Brian…

Business Week Lays Off 15 Reporters Due to Market Conditions
Online media, citizen media, and traditional print publications are competing at unprecedented levels, which are forcing many publishers to tighten their belts as a way of gunning for survival. Any tighter and they may suffocate themselves. BusinessWeek just cut 15 reporters from staff, including good friend, Larry Armstrong. The publication is citing difficulties in the market. It’s true that publications are laying off staff and it isn’t new. However, it’s always interesting to see who they target in their rounds….
More Web 2.0 Exit Strategy Badges
Marco Rosella recently ran a post on Web 2.0 exit strategy badges and prepping for the upcoming Web 2.0 Conference in San Francisco. I also covered it and offered a few more suggestions. Well, the creativity never stops I guess, so I’m publishing a few more ideas to complement Marco’s initial line-up of exit badges. I still say that we should get some of these made and pass them around at all of the events. In fact, let’s get these…
Shutterfly Hits the Street with IPO – Web 1.0 Still Has Legs
Online photo sharing and printing service Shutterfly raised $87 million in an IPO today, closing up 3.7% at $15.55 per share, reaching a ceiling of $16.73, according to VentureBeat. Marshall Kirkpatrick of TechCrunch observed, “In a time when IPOs are among the least common liquidity events enjoyed by Web 2.0 startups, for a photosharing site to remain independent and go public is interesting relative to all the startups we profile here.” I personally find this interesting on many levels. Just…
