Take AVC.com, the blog by Fred Wilson. He wrote a blog post that always stuck with me about how there are regulars on his blog who hang out there a bit like “Cheers&# just having a chat with a metaphorical beer in hand. I picked questions that I had already covered in depth on my blog and answered them in shorter form.

I can attest from experience that publishing a regular blog to properly showcase your brand value, even before you have it, is a most cost effective approach in time and money. For blogging to work, you need to do it consistently and frequently, at least once a week, or the value evaporates. Find potential partners. Populate your team.

Contributing to industry blogs, or starting your own, is an ideal way to express your positive values, and build a reputation that can save you later if your product stumbles, or you receive some negative challenges. Invest your time in networking online, as well as offline. Every future entrepreneur should start by networking.

And it applies to business relationships & networking as much as it does to remuneration in the workplace.

It was a great conversation and I thought it would be a good idea to do some visible networking with Aaron to get to know him better.

I have to admit when I first walked through the doors of the Los Angeles Convention Center to attend Blog World I asked myself why I was wasting my time. Yet “another networking event”. That’s when it occurred to me how foolish I was to be diluting the value of any conference and especially this experience at Blog World.

He told me in some combinations of device / OS / network they are crashing 4 times per 100. All applications crash and this is especially true in the nascent mobile world where dealing with device types, OS’s & networks adds one hell of a configuration management problem. How many adds came through organic SEO? In 6 months?

LA is a vibrant community with a rich network of angels that fund early stage companies, lots of VCs, easy access to big media, lots of innovation in media, mobile content, games, green, health care, and many, many others. Probably the biggest drawback of Los Angeles is the distance and traffic that makes networking more difficult.
