Calacanis has the experience to make this work but the real challenge is going to be standing out amongst the crowd here. Steve Case’s online health venture is growing rapidly but one wonders if this is just a game of constant re-investment into marketing and product development which is great for consumers but doesn’t lead to much ROI for the investors/founders.

Probably not very insightful, but what can I say, I’m a JJ fan.

Lets see what Kokua tells us? I can’t see that become a popular phrase.
I’m going to kokua PSP3!

Nah. Jason loves playng and it surely is much fun for him to quickly make a screenshot on his 24″ iMac. I’m sure he has already gotten this far with Photoshop.

We’ve had a lot of talks with publishers and other people on the traditional media side this past quarter and automotive is allegedly hot online right now. Gaming’s a no-brainer of course, and it’s really such an underserved market in a lot of areas, I think you can slip into one of those holes and do well.

Very interesting.

Mark Pincus revealed yesterday on his blog that he is an investor in the new project. It’s called Mahalo.
