This is a note to readers of this blog. As many of you know, I m the CEO of Radar Networks, the makers of a new service called Twine. Twine is a service for interest networking, which I believe is the next evolution of social media. How are social networks and interest networks different? Social networks are about connecting to people and messaging with them -- they are basically the next evolution of contact management and email. Interest networks are about leveraging collective intelligence to discover and share great content around your interests -- they are the next evolution of social media (discussion forums, wikis, blogs, social news aggregation, and social bookmarking). Interest networks are for making sense of information and discovering new information that matters to you. I now use Twine as my main place for authoring and sharing content on the Web. (I also use Twine as my main place for keeping up with my many interests. The Twine community does a great job of scouring the Web to find the content that I want to know about. Generally if there is an article that matters to me, it shows up in Twine very quickly. I no longer have to read as many RSS feeds. This is the power of collective intelligence at its best.) However, although Twine can be used both to author and discover content around interest, in this article I will focus on the authoring side of the story. Of course I am biased, but speaking from the perspective of a blogger, I can say that Twine is rapidly becoming the personal publishing environment I always dreamed of having. It s an ideal environment to author content and distribute it to highly relevant audiences. In Twine, I have many different public and private microblogs on various topics that matter to me, and I also participate in microblogs that others have created. It s super easy to post to one or many of them at once. Twine also has good support for discussions. It s very easy to have discussions around any piece of content -- and the discussions simply work better than they do in my Typepad blog. And of course, Twine has cool features such as automatic semantic tagging of all my posts, great content management features for finding all the content I have added, and powerful contextual recommendations to other interesting content that are added to my content. As a result of these benefits, in the last month, I have found that my blogging activity in Twine has become about 100X my blogging activity here in Typepad (no offense to Typepad, by the way -- I really like Typepad too, but as a means of distributing content, it just isn t as useful to me as Twine). Posting in a traditional blog is a labor intensive process and in the end my post only appears to the readers of one blog. But in Twine it is as easy as bookmarking something, or authoring a note, and then sharing it across a bunch of different communities. And Twine helps me keep track of the discussion around each of my posts as it evolves. So if you are interested in what I m reading, what I m thinking about, and what matters to me, you ll find a lot more of that in Twine. If you are not yet a Twine member already, register and you will be let in very quickly. Here is where I hang out in Twine: Nova Spivack s Public Twine -- This is my blog in Twine, for general posts. Web 3.0 - Semantic Web -- This is a twine about, well, what the title says. There are thousands of participants. Cool -- This is a twine about unsually cool things. It s the Twine equivalent of Boing Boing. But instead of a small elite group controlling what gets in, the entire community helps. News of the Strange -- I admit it, I really like fringe news and odd news stories. Science Discoveries -- A twine about emerging discoveries in science. Web Industry Trends -- A twine about new ideas and trends in the Web biz. And many, many more... You can see them on my Profile in Twine. And if you want to track all my public posts in Twine, go to my profile and subscribe to my RSS feed in Twine. Twine is still in invite only beta -- but in the second half of July we will be opening up all the public content in Twine to the open Web. Anyone will be able to read it and we will be letting people in faster as well. I will still blog here when I have larger articles to share. But on a day-to-day basis, I will be posting a lot more in Twine. Hope to see you there! (By the way, if you are a member of Twine and you are also finding that Twine is becoming the center of your social media life, feel free to copy and paste this post and adapt it into your own blog)

For the last 20 years, venture capital has underwritten most of the transformative software and Internet companies. However, change is in the wind. Evolving economics (for both startups and venture funds), combined with changing markets, will have a dramatic impact on the venture capital industry, and move things away from Internet IT. Get ready for a Venture Capital Shakeout.

Stewart Alsop (Alsop Louie Partners), Roger Ehrenberg (Monitor110, Inc. ), Bruce Golden (Accel Partners), Cary Davis (Warburg Pincus, LLC), Salil Deshpande (Bay Partners)--For the longest time most of the innovation in financial markets came from the inside. Teams would hive off from major brokerage firms, starting hedge funds, or less, commonly, new companies providing data and research services. Web 2.0 is changing all of this. It is less expensive than ever to create companies with global data, and global access to customers. As a result, money technology is a hotbed of innovation and related startups, exactly the sort of happy hunting ground of which venture capitalists are fond. We have brought together some prominent VCs and angels to talk about the future of these markets from their perspective. Where is the hot money going? Where will the most innovative developments come from?
