Robots take over NYC deli 06/22/2005 01:49 AM
Cory Doctorow: Gavin sez, "This group called LEMUR (League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots) took over an abandoned delicatessen and have installed lots of miniature musical instruments, all run by remote control from a laptop. Some of them are as simple as a mallet hitting a bucket, while others are more elaborate. Every few minutes, they spring to life, playing a really cool percussion symphony of miniature bot music. They have a lot of cool audio and video downloads, although they don't communicate the full flavor of walking around in an environment populated by these clattering bots. They've taken over the former MVP Deli in the financial district of New York City (43 John Street), and will have the display up through the end of the week."

I've always had a hard time describing what I do. Recently, depending on the context, I've started calling myself a social entrepreneur. I first heard it in the context of the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship.

Here is a Stanford Business School definition of Social Entrepreneurship.

Boomerang Entrepreneurship: How To Sell
The Same Startup Twice 07/14/2004 08:57 PM
In 1999 the entrepreneurs behind a photo hosting company named Webshots sold their company to Excite@Home for $82.5 million. Not bad. Even better, though, was that a few years later, after Excite@Home went bankrupt, the founders bought Webshots back at an $80 million discount, paying just $2.4 million. That was pretty smart of them... because now, two years later, they've flipped the company again, this time to CNET, for $70 million, $60 million of which is in cold hard cash (they've obviously learned the value). You have to wonder if this agreement has a buy back option as well. While most news stories focusing on the deal are comparing it to Google' s similar Picasa purchase yesterday, this bit of yo-yo startup reselling is a much more interesting story.

If you tune in to the Republican Convention on television this week, you might get the idea that the delegates were cast by the Rainbow Coalition.

Great NYT correction. This is why I like the term "world majority":

An article last Wednesday about South Africa's wine industry referred incorrectly to Thabani Cellars, a winery there. It is not minority-owned. (As a black man, the owner, Jabulani Ntshangase, belongs to the country's majority.)

eBay Acquires Minority Interest in craigslist

SAN FRANCISCO & SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 2004--eBay, The World's Online Marketplace (Nasdaq:EBAY) (www.ebay.com), and craigslist, an online community featuring classifieds and forums (www.craigslist.org), announced today that eBay has acquired a preexisting minority ownership interest in craigslist of approximately 25%. The resulting relationship will allow eBay and craigslist to share expertise, resources, and creativity on behalf of online communities everywhere.

Craig shares his account of this about it on his blog.

I can imagine some people complaining about this, but I think this is might be a good direction for craigslist to go. Congrats to all involved. I look forward to seeing how these communities will interact and how eBay helps craigslist and vice versa.
