Every venture capitalist wants that huge success, the big disruptive innovation that destroys old industries and makes them millions.
The irony is, the biggest disruptive innovation that ever came from the Internet could in fact be open source software, and the old industry it destroys will probably be venture capital.
The other part of this post is that I can't use Phil Ringalda's BlogThis! tool any more (because I have FF 2.0) and the script from Blogger's help doesn't work with Google-based accounts. BlogThis was a huge help in just snipping interesting stuff from the web to write about, but then I guess all that linking and quoting was what helped my previous blog get labeled as a spam blog.
Phil's not updating BlogThis anymore, and I don't blame him - your reward for writing a cool, free and useful tool is often a bunch of yabos beating on you for changes like you were Microsoft. Some developers get testy about that and post snarky messages, others just melt away. When you get a check, at least you keep showing up.
