New comment by zalzally in "Google Nears $1 Billion Investment in SpaceX"

Google Inc. does direct investments from time to time. Also they have their growth investment arm, Google Capital, which has invested some large sums recently in Glassdoor, etc. (but surely not $1B in one company unless they acquired that company). Perhaps Google Inc. is leading the investment with the round consisting of many undisclosed players across private equity, etc.

I'm really enjoying the healthy debate here. It's certainly a divisive topic with people seemingly very strong on either side.

New comment by zalzally in "Fred Wilson Vs. John Doerr"

zalzally — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 05:08:34 +0000

John Doerr is clearly a visionary, but it seems he's trying to play catch-up with the likes of Fred Wilson's USV, Sequoia, Benchmark, Accel, etc. as Kleiner has taken a backseat when it comes to recent hot deals. His enthusiasm is almost a marketing tactic to get entrepreneurs excited about the iFund and sFund (further marketing attempts to generate interest, vs. having their main fund focus on social and touch-screen technologies regardless of having specific funds that should do that).

John Doerr is clearly a legend, and if anyone can race back to the top in this current "bubble", it's him.

The higher numbers re: valuations I've seen and heard are just under $10M (recent YC startup). Potentially rumors of $20M (Instagram, but was apparently untrue). Not sure which startups are seeing the $30-50M range that Fred Wilson mentions. Clearly, he sees a lot of deal flow, but you'd assume the major tech blogs would cover these startups.

zalzally — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 04:58:12 +0000

Ideally, something like annotations (if/when it launches) could provide the necessary metadata for further filters. Agree that a small subset of Twitter users actually have a need for something like this.

In the meantime, check out an interesting startup that helps you curate time-boxed tweets: http://curated.by

New comment by zalzally in "Ask HN: What will be Facebook's weakness?"

zalzally — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 17:23:44 +0000

What about Search/Discovery? Sure, Facebook's Open Graph is being cultivated by all of us as we like and share stuff, but currently, there's no way to search through my feeds, what I've liked, what my friends have liked, the most popular liked items, and any slicing/dicing of that data. I'm sure they're working on it, but it seems like a major gap right now.
