WITN?: Can India Succeed in Exporting Mobile Services Like It Did with Bollywood? (TCTV)
2010-09-06 18:10:34
We’re not going to lie to you—this video may feature the world’s worst Skype connection. And that was after 45 minutes of trouble-shooting. While we have no problems connecting to entrepreneurs in Russia or Kenya, apparently London is the land that Skype forgot, which is pretty ironic given it was funded there.
But such old-world telecom connections are the new reality for Monty Munford who moved from uber-telecom connected India back to the UK last month. Munford has worked in two if the industries where India has outdone many other countries: Mobile and Bollywood. (See him above getting pampered.)
As we discussed a few weeks ago with mobile in Kenya - and as Munford wrote in his guest post on Somaliland yesterday - India is one of many countries trying to export what it has done well to Africa. Is Bollywood the model?

Merger Mania: Corp Dev Execs Talk For An Hour About Who They’d Buy And Why
2010-09-06 16:53:41
We'd heard this was a great discussion but haven't been able to get our hands on the footage until now. On July 29th senior corporate development executives from Cisco (Derek Idemoto), Facebook (Michael Brown), Google (Amin Zoufonoun), Microsoft (Fritz Lanman), Twitter (Jessica Verilli) and Yahoo (Taylor Barada) convened at Startup2Startup to talk about what kinds of companies they want to buy, and why.
The panel was moderated by CODE Advisors founder Michael Marquez, who was also a former corp dev executive at both Yahoo and CBS. He put together a panel of buyers that will represent most or all of the M&A activity in the online space over the next year or so, with the possible exception of AOL.
My favorite part is at 27:30 where each panelist says the top acquisitions that the person to their right should make. Watch everyone's body language - lots of nervousness up there on stage. But the entire hour is worth watching if you're even thinking about selling your company right now.
The Attack Of Branded Content: Who Will Control TV On The Web? (TCTV)
2010-09-06 15:20:27
I've got to admit, the concept of 'branded content' on the Web makes me cringe. It is generally used to refer to Web videos created and packaged specifically for an advertiser. Maybe I am old-fashioned, but I like my videos created for the audience first, not advertisers. And yet, in the budding Web video industry, branded content is bringing in some serious dollars and even some serious talent.
There is a lot more going on here than advertisers bankrolling the production of their own videos because there isn't enough professionally produced Web video to show their ads against (although that is part of it). The rise of advertiser-produced video entertainment is but a sign of a much larger shift that is happening as people consume more video on the Web. Advertisers love broadcast and cable TV because of its massive reach into every home. They are finding it nearly impossible to replicate that reach on the Web. The only way they can do it is by spreading ads across tens of thousand of sites through video ad networks.
Many of those video ad networks also create their own content for their own sites, but some are also starting to become broader video distribution networks as well. One of the biggest video ad networks that specializes in creating branded content is Digital Broadcasting Group (DBG). Last week, I met with COO Rick Kleczkowski, who told me about a few of the Web video shows DBG is producing, including the upcoming ControlTV, Built Green, and Family Versus Chef. We also got into a spirited discussion about why branded content seems to be taking over the Web, and whether or not that is a good thing I ask him if guys like him are going to put guys like me out of business (see videos below).

Super Angel/VC Smackdown: Why the Hate? (TCTV)
2010-09-06 12:42:27
Watching the battle of words, blog posts, term sheets and Tweets unfold over the last few weeks between VCs and Super Angels has been a little surreal. I've spent a career convincing editors that the internal workings of Venture Capital are more interesting than they sound, but even I can't muster the passion to declare convertible debt AWESOME while equity TOTALLY SUCKS.
Clearly, this cultural explosion of tension is about more than just terms and who does what deal. After all, in theory, both these group need each other to thrive.
Rather than commission yet another guest post on the subject, we figured let's just invite Super Angel rabble-rouser David McClure and early stage VC defender David Hornik into the studio for a no-holds-barred Smackdown. This is a five-part series tackling five wedge issues of the debate, and we'll post one every day this week-- consider it a primer on what you missed if you took August off, Mr. Old School VC.
Today's topic: Why the hate? Don't you two need each other?
As always when Dave McClure is involved, the language is NSFW. There, you've been warned.
Recommendations Working Like A Charm: Twitter Follower Growth Is Accelerating
2010-09-06 09:34:19
It's been about a month since Twitter turned on its people recommendation engine, a set of algorithms that enables the service to automagically suggest people you don’t currently follow but may find interesting.
Twitter has indicated that these suggestions are based on a variety of factors, including the people you already follow and the people they follow. They are, for now, only visible on Twitter.com and the Find People section.
And based on my experience, the algorithms seem to be doing their job just fine indeed - I have most certainly discovered a lot of new interesting people on Twitter who I wasn't following yet, and my own follower count has increased significantly in the past few weeks.
So for fun, I decided to use TwitterCounter to look up the counts for a couple of accounts I follow, to see if this is a general trend of something I'm noticing for my account only.

Facebook Denies Testing Places In The UK – But It Looks Close
2010-09-06 08:27:38
Is Facebook testing its location based service Places for imminent rollout in the UK? Notes on Twitter started to surface over the weekend indicating that might be the case. And as you can see from this screengrab from @kierondonoghue on Saturday, it did work for a short time.
However, we've checked with Twitter's official spokespeople and they say 'We weren't testing it this weekend contrary to reports.' And a simple check of the iPhone app reveals that even if some people can access their location via mobile in the UK, most can't.
So there you go. But, the imminent arrival of Facebook Places in the UK and across the rest of Europe is clearly going to have an interesting impact not least on local location-based startups who already compete with Foursquare and Gowalla, to name the two main US players whose services have migrated to Europe.
