John Edwards Campaign Claims Listening

Ryan M from the John Edwards campaign claims that the campaign is listening to the blogosphere / social media. Sorry Ryan, but the facts speak otherwise.

Fred Wilson Dislikes the Techcrunch Dead Pool - Too Bad!!!

Fred Wilson doesn’t like the Dead Pool over at Techcrunch.
A friend of mine communicated a better idea for him and other venture capitalists. Why not spend more time looking at original ideas - real detailed business plans with actual revenue models? The dead pool would be a lot smaller if people did hard work instead [...]
