Is The Contact Info You Provide Someone
Public Or Private Info? 02/10/2004 05:32 PM
I've complained in the past about the annoyanc e of Plaxo spam. Lately, the more I've been thinking about Plaxo, the more it annoys me. Though I've never had anything to do with the company, and have never responded to a single spam, they now have a database with my contact info that others gave it. Bambi Francisco over at CBS Marketwatch has noticed the same thing with Spoke Software, which she finds disconcerting. However, I'm wondering about the bigger legal issues: is the personal info you've given to individuals for business or personal reasons shareable? Some say that all Spoke is doing is collecting public information. However, if the info was given to an individual, is there a reasonable expectation that the information is not public at all, but for private use only? I'm not sure what the answer is, but I wonder how long until there's a lawsuit around this issue. Personally, like so many other things, I don't think it's something you can get "back in the box," but these systems do reveal to me who is freely giving away personal information about me, which could make me less willing to do business with them in the future.

Ross notes that Newsgator got funded recently. There I noticed a trackback from rtwodtwo's posting: I never thought RSS programs would get VC’s cash. What do they think their exit will be? What revenue will this software have? Selling it to the warez loving public? Looking at its download.com count (<2000 downloads) the VC decision to invest looks very very strange. Well, I'm not sure what download.com has to do with this. RSS software isn't at the point yet where...

Just How Loyal Are You To The Companies
That Provide Your Tech? 09/20/2004 01:24 PM
While there are plenty of different ways to judge a company's prospects, one interesting element to look at is how "loyal" buyers are. Of course, loyalty may be tough to judge, and simply buying from a company (even repeatedly) doesn't necessarily show loyalty -- as a buyer may end up buying regrettably because there's nothing else available. However, here's a study of corporate IT buyers, where the folks behind the study go out and talk to various buyers to get a real sense of where their loyalties lie, and it suggests which companies might be vulnerable on loyalty. While Dell, Microsoft, Cisco and Oracle scored well (almost all of which may surprise some people), Apple, Intel and PeopleSoft faired poorly (which, again, is likely to surprise people). Of course, more details would be useful in determining what the real issues are. Loyalty can be a function of a variety of things, but it's interesting to see so many often-criticized companies on the "good" list, and so many companies that have good reputations on the "bad" list.

Los Angeles Times - From his boarding school days to the grind of the campaign trail, John F. Kerry has worn his ambition like a badge — almost always on display, yet rarely acknowledged. Over the course of a carefully crafted public life brimming with accomplishment and wrenched by war and loss, he has discreetly kept his distant prize, the presidency, in clear sight.

Companies Don't Have To Go Public

Companies Don't Have To Go Public 04/26/2004 03:41 AM
At the end of last week there was a flurry of articles from people talking about the rumors that Google would announce an IPO this week. We didn't post this because it's the exact same story that people have been running for months about how Google is probably going to need to disclose their financial info by Thursday. That was nothing new at all, but many people misinterpreted it to mean that Google would go public this week. At most, they might file to go public - which is quite different from actually going public. Even if they release the financial information as expected, it doesn't mean they have to go public, and some suspect that they'll stay private a while longer. While it's true that they'd be revealing the same info, there still wouldn't be the same pressure, because no one would be buying and selling their stock. Google seems to like being a private company, and while there's a lot of pressure to go public, that doesn't mean it will happen. One small note in the article was pretty interesting, though. It turns out that Google was actually structured as two separate companies (Google Inc. and Google Technologies) to keep them under the 500 shareholders financial reporting rule for as long as possible. Still, this whole debate brings up another annoying misconception that companies need to go public. While it is common, it is by no means necessary - and there are some very successful large companies that have stayed private and are quite happy in that position. Just like startups don't need to raise venture capital, established companies don't need to go public - and many execs who understand the downsides of being public are avoiding pressures to go the IPO route. Going public does give the company (and its shareholders) some liquidity, but that comes at a pretty steep price.
