Very interesting interview done by Jason Calacanis of Ron Conway who has invested in many of the companies we take for granted now. Fascinating interview. If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, it’s a must watch. Heck, if you’re interested in hearing one of the smartest investors in the business, this is a great listen.
Moo, the company that brought you cool photo business cards, is bringing out sticker books from your photography. Photographer Scott Beale has the details. These are cool. I’m going to buy several.
Want to build your own game with your own face on it? MyGame.com has the answer. Here’s a cute little game we created last week where you get to poke me in the nose. Ouch, knock that off. Hey!

I just posted videos I did with Siemens’ Web strategist and Intel’s software community manager to Facebook. Available to my Facebook friends. I’ll add you as a friend so you can see these videos. Just sign up on Facebook and add me as a friend.
Oh, my.
I added the WordPress Facebook Application a few days ago. Now my blog, and your comments, are showing up on my Facebook Profile Page. Along with my Twitters. My Flickr photos. My Google Reader items. My Kyte videos. And a bunch of other things.
Jeremiah Owyang is sitting here with me and he’s the one who said it’s a black hole after seeing how Facebook is becoming the new portal for all information you post around the Web. He wrote a post titled “all your widgets are belong to Facebook.”
Other evidence that Facebook is a black hole, sucking stuff into it: They just acquired Parakey, a stealth-mode startup started by Blake Ross and Joe Hewitt, two former Firefox geeks.
Google’s stock is down about 5% in afterhours trading because its profits didn’t hit the analyst’s estimates. How did I know that? Google’s finance site, of course.
