Just got back from crashing the Xobni party.
Xobni is a Y Combinator company which has managed to reach the point of external funding. I have no clue what Xobni does other than make a Facebook app that tells people to e-mail you instead of send a message—I installed it in my profile just before heading [...]
Rajat from my LinkedIn…
There’s really exciting things happening here, and we’re staffing up the team! If you know anyone who might be a good fit for one of these positions, I’d greatly appreciate pointers and introductions.
We’re also looking for a few consultants to help us optimize our systems: a DBA with MySQL experience and an [...]
Zivity is social networking meets photo sharing meets erotica (or maybe just fine art and fashion). And they’re nearing launch.
The reason I like them (besides the fact that they sometimes invite this wallflower to their parties) is that they share royalties based on popularity with both their models and the photographers to take the pictures. [...]

“What’s up?”
“You called me earlier.”
“I’m at work now.”
“What’s that noise in the background.”
“I’m watching the latest BubCast. There is something about Spock. They’re hosting a Lunch 2.0 soon and I need some fodder for our announcement. All I found so far was that shit TED posted.”
“TED?”
“You know…from Uncov? I met him last week. Someone [...]
A conversation that never happened over iChat:
1: Hey, do you have a copy of the new iLife and iWork?
2: Yeah. How can I get it to you.
1: Let me get back to you…
1: Hey, my my iDisk has 10GB on it now, just put it there.
Nowadays, when I mention that I’m an introvert to someone, they can’t help but let out a short laugh. More than a couple people have called me a social butterfly recently.

My senior year in high school, a friend’s mother was having us play a charades game where you’re given a description of yourself and act [...]
Jonathan Abrams, the junior programmer at Socializr, sent me this. He is looking to double the size at the Socializr World Headquarters!
They have put together #1, #2, and #3, but they need #4, #5 and #6 to complete Socialzr.

Now that Pulse is officially out, I decided to “spam” my Plaxo members. I don’t know if it’s really spam since these are only the people already on Plaxo and I had to add them each individually (I wish there was a bulk function.)
[About Plaxo and Lunch 2.0 after the jump]
At dinner after the Facebook Lunch 2.0, a bunch of us at the table were trying to guess people’s ethnicity. Being in California, the correct answer might be like “part Paraguayan, part Uzbek” and shit like that. Half the people I know probably fucked up the scantrons when they applied to college and had to [...]
The other day at Lunch 2.0, I made the mistake of calling ValleyWag the National Enquirer of Silicon Valley in front of a Vallewag reporter. I was promptly corrected that it was the US Weekly. I guess that embarrassment was penalty for not paying attention to the mastheads when I’m at the supermarket.
Valleywag stops by [...]
