VCs are abandoning the eCommerce sector at their own peril as I totally agree with Neil and the coming boom in online brands.

I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.

Joe Kraus Blog: On startups. We're creating a culture of distraction:

My favorite summary line on this whole topic comes from Sherry Turkle, an MIT professor who studies technology and society. “We are lonely but fearful of intimacy. Digital connections offer the illusion of companionship without the demands of friendship. We expect more from technology and less from each other”.

““Companies die from not being eaten by their competitors, but from self-inflicted wounds. They don’t have discipline. Their best people get frustrated. They chase all these shiny objects that aren’t core to the business. They become complacent because of early success.””

- Drew Houston, Dropbox (via sequoiacapital)

hm .. shiny objects.

Welcome to the Silicon Beach — a stretch of 10 blocks along the Pacific Ocean and home to one of the highest concentrations of tech companies and startups anywhere outside Silicon Valley or Alley.

“There’s a Wild West boomtown thing going on here right now,” said Michael Dubin, 33, who launched Dollar Shave Club last month with a YouTube video that’s been viewed more than 4 million times. “L.A. is a place where you can think big. I couldn’t imagine any place I’d rather be.”

From this pressure cooker of ideas and venture capital, a new kind of Hollywood star is emerging — the 21st-century tech star. Known more for digital innovation than acting talent, these entrepreneurs are poised to become the darlings of Tinseltown.
