Karel is on blogtalkradio tonight, 1on1 with the CEO
It’s my first “radio interview”, and I’ve love for you to call in. I’ll be talking with Alan, about internet entrepreneurs, social networks and Inside Facebook.
Mmmm, it’s crunchy.
Independent, local, close to the ground media publications are able to look in new directions, unlikely sources. Michael and Techcrunch get so many scoops because they listen and take the time to look. I’m delighted that when they looked, they liked. Hope you all enjoy it too!
Comment below and let me know what you like, and what could be better.
Awesome insight. What was great, and what else could make it even greater.
Facebook is one helluva story, and it’s great to hear a new insight into it.
What did I like:
a) correlation to motivation. How the methods mark and you guys used could be applied to any entrepreneur
b) some interesting pieces. ie- steven chen, mark really going there to grow wirehog,etc.
c) what made the company work. ie- mark and them knowing when to pull the plug, jeff rothschild’s vision.
d) unbiased and raw. I disagree with Liz. I’d rather see it in its current form, then obviously being edited in the manner she suggested and losing some of its realness. I could care less if the writing is perfect, I’m reading it for your story and the knowledge, not to pick out grammatical errors.
What I would have liked to see more of:
a) more information on Mark’s information flow theory. It’s something I personally am interested in.
b) more specific crisis situations ie- holy shit, what just happened.
c) more insight into Mark’s move out to silicon valley
d) more insight into the VC/ business side of things.

I really want your book, please let me pay for it!
Hi,
I’m building a network of social web apps in latin america and this book its a god-send for me. The thing is: I live in Colombia, my credit cards are from this country.. and PayPal doesn’t me allow to use their service for buying the book because it isn’t in their list of countries. How can i get it? Please help me!
maybe can I buy you something in Amazon? Maybe another payment system? maybe you could help a third world entrepeneur sending the pdf address and hope that this business will be really great?
thanks in advance and *good luck* with your book!

GigaOM said I do what?
GigaOM reviewed my online book, Inside Facebook, today and shook it hard. What fell out were the tasty tidbits, and the copyediting mistakes all of my kind early readers had overlooked so far. However, I’m delighted that Liz Gannes picked up on my main messages from my book, and my time at Facebook: Great ambitions lead to Great things, Facebook works - both inside and outside, and how online networking is changing society.
On my phone call with Liz, I tried to involve her in a discussion of whether the way we use online profiles changes our personalities, the way we deal with people in real life. That didn’t make it in, so I guess that was too heavy given her fever weakened state. She’s an amazingly informed and quick thinking reporter.
She is way correct that I need a copyeditor professional wordsmitter sentence shortener. What do I moralize though? Please tell me.
[sweet. she told me. check the comments. and now tell me what you think.]
And I hope I didn’t make a mess when I spilled all those beans.
I’m dugg: Find out what the kool-aid tastes like at the Facebook
An early engineer at the Facebook summarizes the experience, from what hiring was like, to what’s on the bathroom wall. Salty at times. Funny at times. Definitely worth the read. -Andre Stechert
