On: NowPublic news site buys Guy Kawasaki's Truemors website

Guy does have that kind of access, but he didn't use it in this case. Nor did he need to -- in fact, he overspent. (There was a lot of talk here about that fact when Truemors first appeared.)

Guy spent about $13K on the whole shebang.

Yes, but now he's on the board of NowPublic. As well as a partner at GarageVentures. Should make it easy for NowPublic to raise more money. I.e. I'm characterizing it as a thinly described bribe. I have no idea if that's true, of course.

Board of advisors, not board of directors.

I think you're exactly right.

[ojbyrne → dpapathanasiou]

Other than "thinly described" :-(. Noticed it too late, now it's there forever.

Actually, I kind of like "thinly described". :)

Don't worry, no one reads these comments ;)
