Draw Your Ideas - A VC : Venture Capital and Technology , May 16, 2010 I saw Jack Dorsey give this talk at The 99% Conference last month.

I ran a VC AMA (ask me anything) last Monday on Meerkat and had > 1,000 simultaneous people asking me questions. For years when I did This Week in VC (now BothSides TV ) and one of the most magic parts was the people who watched the show live and could ask questions in realtime. love Twitter. I’m loving Meerkat so far.
