This company was started by Victoria Duff (who many of us know from back in the late 90s), Phillis Lane (who I have known for quite a few years) and Jon Bukosky. Hopefully this is a sign of a new kind of ecosystem where there will be the possiblity of creating good start-ups that are not a classic VC kind of play.

As I look at more and more start-ups predicated on viral growth, and at the use of social marketing, its becoming simultaneously easier to understand some aspects of viral growth and still a gap in understanding whats going to be that "hook" that will grab people at the end of the day. Why did MySpace win?

I completely agree with her, but Ive found it to be really difficult to: Meet People within a given Geography Online who share passion around Technology, Start-ups, etc. So, what Ive ended up doing is planning our own events (wine tasting) and just inviting people who I know are interesting. Weve done one so far, and its great.
