Twitter, SXSW, and Building a 21st Century Business
In case you haven't heard, I interviewed Twitter CEO Evan Williams at the keynote at this year's South By Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Conference on Monday in Austin, Texas.
Another theme of our conversation was focusing on win/wins — a term that's become cheapened to the point of jargon, but try looking at it anew: As Ev described it, Twitter cuts deals with partners only when they think everyone wins — including end-users. So, how was your week? Mine's been interesting.

IVP partner Dennis Phelps will be joining Yext’s board. Howard Lerman can be a little intense.

Fixing Conferences: Six Lessons From the Designers Accord Summit
I've realized that I can't stand conferences. To me, conferences are akin to watching television without Tivo, or going to AAA to get a triptik instead of mapping a journey on Google. Conferences are an old workhorse model--a mix of passive consumption and fluorescent lighting--that is at odds with the seeds of inspiration they are supposed to inspire.
Almost without exception, after each conference I attend, I swear I'll never go again.
But we do need them, or something like them.

“The most value you get out of most conferences are the parties from nine to midnight,” says frustrated August Capital partner David Hornik , complaining that most of the time at events is spent listening to people talk at you. So three years ago he started an invite only, strictly off-record conference aptly named The Lobby . He says the two way conversations are far more valuable, and you only get that at the parties, or outside the event in the lobby.
It’s held in Hawaii each September, and the goal is to have nothing but conversations.
