I think the best solution for the social networking era is “in-stream&# advertising. I talked about the platform moves of Twitter and why it should be expected. Message of the week (from Fred Wilson) – “don’t fill cracks&# but innovate in new ways with the platform. But I made it for a reason.

I believe that Twiistup is now a platform from which to grow and highlight what is uniquely LA. For highlighting what is uniquely LA, for adhering to a strict quality standard for speakers and for building this great platform for the future Francisco Dao (aka “ The Man ”) should feel proud of what he has accomplished.

Alec Meikle: I was in the early stage of building a social network for travel, and thought it would be a great idea to create this for that service. We spoke with founder Alec Meikle to learn about what the service offers and how it's different than what's available from other software. How did the idea for the service come about?

We will never be Silicon Valley in the way that Toronto will never be Hollywood. It’s not uncommon for incredibly smart and talented Phd’s or CS majors from Stanford to raise $10 million on an early-stage “platform&# that if it succeeds it will be huge. But we have a great city for building technology companies.

Movies – no website has more Hollywood DNA. MySpace HAS followers, what it doesn’t have are people excited to promote themselves on their platform. I’m not friends with most of the people that are connected to me on social networks. Work with the studios to have premium Hulu-ish content prominently branded and for sale.

I’ve written before about why I believe most Hollywood online video startups don’t get the future (and why most Silicon Valley startups don’t get online video ). It’s one of those things that even smart, socially-liberal people fall prey to. They will partner with every producer of online video software.

So without my weighing into the pro’s / con’s of this I can say that I believe it will capture a large segment of the market but leave room for “open platforms&# to play a big role. Thus you see television manufacturers rushing to create content ecosystems, app platforms, TV OS’s and Internet offerings.
