A VC (795) permalink
I posted quite a bit late last year about the fact that I was actively buying Google, Apple, and Amazon during the market meltdown. From late september until thanksgiving, I bought these stocks four or five times as they dropped their late November lows.

Encouraged Commentary: Bringing Natural Conversational Dynamics to Commenting (31)
on
ReadWriteWeb (10355) permalink
Commenting on blogs is - by and large - broken. Designed with the hope of proffering interaction among bloggers and readers, commenting has generally devolved into a series of one-off responses with little actual conversation. Why? It's not designed to facilitate conversations. That's why you see any number of people - Intense Debate and Disqus, most notably - working to provide technology that enhances the conversational dynamic. Now, a new open source project from Jim ...Shared by a scheMer sMile (29) alifr (143) Atul Arora (228) Chris Blow (18) Chris Charabaruk (117) Chuck Reynolds (53) dang (33) Daniel (42) Devlin D (38) Eric Anderson (1) Gauravonomics (54) huixing (27) Jack (31) Jarred (77) John Tropea (43) manuscrypts (43) marcel weiß (52) Marylka Yoe Uusisaari (9) Mázsa Péter (63) Melissa Attree (36) Pedro Valente (42) robdiana (184) Ryan W (45) Saj (51) spidaman (36) StevieB (95) Tac (35) taoge (24) Tyler Hurst (24) Tyson Crosbie (33) Will King (20)- Jarred said: This is really cool...
