Social software shootout
Interesting event last night at the Mountain View offices of Silicon Valley law firm, Fenwick & West. It was the Rafe Needleman moderated shootout between LinkedIn (SV darling that just announced an investment form Sequoia), Spoke, Visible Path and ZeroDegrees. LinkedIn seemed to have its act together by far and I personally use and adore the service, and won the VC Panel Award for most likely to succeed. Spoke won the audience award but the voting was allegedly stacked in their favor.
And this is amusing -- "the ultimate inane in-joke quiz for people normally above this kind of thing." Well-said! What kind of social software am I? Thanks to MollyB's blog. My score says "You are the blogosphere...and you just want to be linked." There are 12 possible results (!) according to the people behind it.
