4/16: I Found Myself A Party: Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night

I was at David Noel's blog, at this particular blog post actually, following everybody on the list, trying to give myself a relaunch at Tumblr, a platform I use to listen in. And way down is Dennis Crowley's tumblog. Guess what I find on there. Tonight's gonna be a good night.

FourSquare Tweet, FourSquare Blog Post

Four squared is 16, get it? Hence April 16. That was a grassroots recognition, not a Team FourSquare recognition. FourSquare just had its RT moment. The RT - retweet - did not come from Team Twitter.

Friday April 16, 10pm -> 2am
The Hotel on Rivington - Penthouse
107 Rivington Street (btw Ludlow and Essex)

Managing Al, Brad, Fred: An Opportunity To Jump For

"I am interested in understanding why you chose the title General Manager. It does not seem that you need one person to manage the small and largely self-motivated team."

Fred Wilson: Talent Overload

Fred Wilson and USV first put out a post weeks back saying Farewell Andrew Parker, or something along those lines. And someone commented, in all earnesty, who died? He did not say who died, he said I came over here huffing and puffing hoping noone had died or anything like that. Oh no, Andrew is thankfully alive and well, Fred had to respond.

And now this even more earnest comment on the management position. These two comments have so far stood out as the hiring process rolls on at USV.
