Comments on: a FB VC arm to power-up the API http://www.fbbook.com/fblog/2006/09/02/a-fb-vc-arm-to-power-up-the-api/ the blog about the book Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:29:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 by: Massimo Moruzzi http://www.fbbook.com/fblog/2006/09/02/a-fb-vc-arm-to-power-up-the-api/#comment-23906 Sat, 09 Jun 2007 08:16:12 +0000 http://www.fbbook.com/fblog/2006/09/02/a-fb-vc-arm-to-power-up-the-api/#comment-23906 Hi Karel, I'm not sure that "influencing" the developers with VC -and hence what is developed - is what facebook wants. Actually, it seems to me they are already offering what is most interesting (and often expensive) to a start-up, i.e. the possibility to put out their prototype asap and for free in front of a strong internet community and see if it gets any traction. cheers and thanks for the book, ciao, Massimo Hi Karel,

SOCIALIZR- http://www.socializr.com a new social networking site has os being when I tried to sign-up I got the follwing message: "Sorry, you don't seem to be on our Gamma Testing list." How UN social is that? It seems to already be blocking out early adapters. So whats up with being a on "A list"? who are the "A lister's" anyway? Also,where is the Socialzr BLOG? So where'sthe beef?

You captured the ethos of the place (in my limited exposure) and a substantial degree of the vision and drive which is secret to their success. The book is a good read, Karel.
