Union Square Ventures current members (and an alum) went on a blogging tear today. Stellar posts all around, good enough to merit a reading list here:

Brad’s post today regarding public editing after publication is excellent. A must read for all new media producers and consumers (and prosumers).
Next, check out Charlie’s early numbers and [...]

I’ve been to a bunch of concerts this weekend: Mastodon, Tapes N Tapes, and Pretty Girls Make Graves.
All great shows… There’s no way I could pick a favorite.
Mastodon was totally brutal (read: hardcore, not shitty). Halfway through, I expected to see them sacrafice a goat on stage. I jumped in the mosh pit and was [...]

Wallstrip interviewed Jimmy Wales today. It turned out great; check it out (also embedded below).
My favorite quote from the interview: “There’s something about a project to gather all the world’s knowledge that really brings out the nutcases.”

The latest battle described here pitted Jeff Chester, the executive director for the Center for Digital Democracy, against Mike Zaneis, the Interactive Advertising Bureau’s (IAB) vice president for public policy. An attendee, Kaliya Hamlin, described the [...]

Over a year ago, a Nevada court ruled that Google’s cache falls within the boundaries of fair use.
Does that mean that when I download copyrighted* streaming media (like internet radio) and cache the result, my cache of the streaming media falls under fair use?
Or, does the fallacy in this logic rest in the [...]
