News Panel with Cyan Banister and Erik Lanigan - TWiST #225

0:00-1:00 Welcome everyone! We're at CNET with Cyan Banister and Erik Lanigan for the News Panel.
1:00-2:00 And Cyan Banister, you've been to all the conferences I've ever done, right?
2:00-2:30 Now Erik, you used to work for Leo but you had a bit of a break up, yes?
2:30-3:30 Thank you to Sourcebits for sponsoring the show. Everyone give them a shout-out at @sourcebits!
3:30-4:45 Let's start with SOPA and PIPA. Wednesday was the big blackout and several senators pulled their support after that day. What do you think is going to happen next?
8:30-9:45 If SOPA was around when Chad Hurley was building YouTube, would YouTube have even been able to get funding?
9:45-10:00 Earlier this week, Apple made a big announcement in NY about their iBooks 2 initiative.
10:00-11:45 Erik: Does this even have a chance at being the future of textbooks if we're giving it to iPads only?
15:30-16:15 The Facebook IPO is rumored to be coming in May and could be one of the largest in tech history. Thoughts?
16:15-20:00 Erik: The IPO could be six times bigger than Google's. Is that a rational valuation, given the product?
20:00-27:00 How do you think they can compete with Google+? They were also in the news, adding the ability to post videos to your status. Why would Google go around YouTube?
27:00-28:30 When you invest in a startup do you think, what if this is knocked off by Google or someone else if it's a good idea?
28:30-30:00 Thank you to MailChimp for sponsoring the show. We love them and you will too! Go to MailChimp.com to get started for free.
30:30-31:15 Erik: What do you think when you get pitched by a startup that you could see as a feature of a bigger company?
31:15-36:45 Cyan: Sometimes I advise them to be parasitical.
36:45-37:30 Cyan, how do you turn someone down when they pitch you?
37:30-38:30 What do you think of the noise factor that's about to increase on Facebook? They just launched 60 new apps. Do people want to see this?
38:30-41:00 What about something you purposefully endorse versus something that's an automated share?
41:30-46:30 How much time are people spending on Facebook at work?
46:30-49:00 What do you think about Yahoo's new cuts and hiring freeze? And Jerry is gone now--what does that mean for the company?
49:00-50:45 If Facebook was smart, they would allow people to share revenue from the pages they create, like the New York Times, for example.
52:00-53:30 What kept Jerry there for so long in the first place? Was he just hoping he could turn it around?
53:30-58:00 The Huffington Post is planning to launch a 24/7 streaming online news network. How will this pan out?
58:00-1:00:30 So Cyan, if someone wants to pitch you, what channel should they go through?
1:02:00-1:02:15 Erik, Cyan, thank you both for joining me today. We'll see you next week!

- Startups - News with Liz Gannes and Bill Nguyen - TWiST #264

1:00 Welcome everyone to the TWiST News Panel.
1:30 With us today are Bill Nguyen of Color and Liz Gannes of AllThingsD.
2:30 Huge thanks to MailChimp for their continued support! Everyone thank @MailChimp!
4:30 Paul Graham sent a message to startups this week, advising them to lower their funding expectations.
6:45 Liz, is Paul correct, is nuclear winter coming for startups?
11:45 Bill explains the Color mission.
13:00 How have market caps impacted your business, Bill?
14:45 Liz, what's a journalist's perception of Color?
16:15 Seans Parker and Fanning launched Airtime this week, a social discovery video chat platform.
19:00 Jason does a live Airtime demo.
23:00 Bill attempts to defend Airtime.
25:30 Tyler: Well, one problem it solves is loneliness.

30:30 Thank you to GoToMeeting for sponsoring TWiST! Everyone try GoToMeeting and use the promo code "START."

35:30 Jason asks Bill if he paid Lindsey Lohan to crash on the PCH while using Color.
37:30 Ellen Pao broke her silence this week when she posted on Quora that she is still with KPCB and has no plans to quit. Is it surprising that her first official public statement was made in this manner?
42:15 Bill, what's your take on all this? Any merit to the allegations?
44:15 Liz, is the Valley sexist or not?
46:30 Liz talks about Hacker School, a new program in New York.

55:30 Facebook launched their new app center today and a preview of it leaked before the launch. Liz, will this be confusing for consumers?

52:00-53:30 What kept Jerry there for so long in the first place? Was he just hoping he could turn it around?
53:30-58:00 The Huffington Post is planning to launch a 24/7 streaming online news network. How will this pan out?
58:00-1:00:30 So Cyan, if someone wants to pitch you, what channel should they go through?
1:02:00-1:02:15 Erik, Cyan, thank you both for joining me today. We'll see you next week!

News Panel with Cyan Banister and Erik Lanigan - TWiST #225

0:00-1:00 Welcome everyone! We're at CNET with Cyan Banister and Erik Lanigan for the News Panel.
1:00-2:00 And Cyan Banister, you've been to all the conferences I've ever done, right?
2:00-2:30 Now Erik, you used to work for Leo but you had a bit of a break up, yes?
2:30-3:30 Thank you to Sourcebits for sponsoring the show. Everyone give them a shout-out at @sourcebits!
3:30-4:45 Let's start with SOPA and PIPA. Wednesday was the big blackout and several senators pulled their support after that day. What do you think is going to happen next?
8:30-9:45 If SOPA was around when Chad Hurley was building YouTube, would YouTube have even been able to get funding?
9:45-10:00 Earlier this week, Apple made a big announcement in NY about their iBooks 2 initiative.
10:00-11:45 Erik: Does this even have a chance at being the future of textbooks if we're giving it to iPads only?
15:30-16:15 The Facebook IPO is rumored to be coming in May and could be one of the largest in tech history. Thoughts?
16:15-20:00 Erik: The IPO could be six times bigger than Google's. Is that a rational valuation, given the product?
20:00-27:00 How do you think they can compete with Google+? They were also in the news, adding the ability to post videos to your status. Why would Google go around YouTube?
27:00-28:30 When you invest in a startup do you think, what if this is knocked off by Google or someone else if it's a good idea?
28:30-30:00 Thank you to MailChimp for sponsoring the show. We love them and you will too! Go to MailChimp.com to get started for free.
30:30-31:15 Erik: What do you think when you get pitched by a startup that you could see as a feature of a bigger company?
31:15-36:45 Cyan: Sometimes I advise them to be parasitical.
36:45-37:30 Cyan, how do you turn someone down when they pitch you?
37:30-38:30 What do you think of the noise factor that's about to increase on Facebook? They just launched 60 new apps. Do people want to see this?
38:30-41:00 What about something you purposefully endorse versus something that's an automated share?
41:30-46:30 How much time are people spending on Facebook at work?
46:30-49:00 What do you think about Yahoo's new cuts and hiring freeze? And Jerry is gone now--what does that mean for the company?
49:00-50:45 If Facebook was smart, they would allow people to share revenue from the pages they create, like the New York Times, for example.

0:00-1:00 Welcome everyone! We're at CNET with Cyan Banister and Erik Lanigan for the News Panel.
1:00-2:00 And Cyan Banister, you've been to all the conferences I've ever done, right?
2:00-2:30 Now Erik, you used to work for Leo but you had a bit of a break up, yes?
2:30-3:30 Thank you to Sourcebits for sponsoring the show. Everyone give them a shout-out at @sourcebits!
3:30-4:45 Let's start with SOPA and PIPA. Wednesday was the big blackout and several senators pulled their support after that day. What do you think is going to happen next?
8:30-9:45 If SOPA was around when Chad Hurley was building YouTube, would YouTube have even been able to get funding?
9:45-10:00 Earlier this week, Apple made a big announcement in NY about their iBooks 2 initiative.
10:00-11:45 Erik: Does this even have a chance at being the future of textbooks if we're giving it to iPads only?
15:30-16:15 The Facebook IPO is rumored to be coming in May and could be one of the largest in tech history. Thoughts?
16:15-20:00 Erik: The IPO could be six times bigger than Google's. Is that a rational valuation, given the product?
20:00-27:00 How do you think they can compete with Google+? They were also in the news, adding the ability to post videos to your status. Why would Google go around YouTube?
27:00-28:30 When you invest in a startup do you think, what if this is knocked off by Google or someone else if it's a good idea?
28:30-30:00 Thank you to MailChimp for sponsoring the show. We love them and you will too! Go to MailChimp.com to get started for free.
30:30-31:15 Erik: What do you think when you get pitched by a startup that you could see as a feature of a bigger company?
31:15-36:45 Cyan: Sometimes I advise them to be parasitical.
36:45-37:30 Cyan, how do you turn someone down when they pitch you?
37:30-38:30 What do you think of the noise factor that's about to increase on Facebook? They just launched 60 new apps. Do people want to see this?
38:30-41:00 What about something you purposefully endorse versus something that's an automated share?
41:30-46:30 How much time are people spending on Facebook at work?
46:30-49:00 What do you think about Yahoo's new cuts and hiring freeze? And Jerry is gone now--what does that mean for the company?
49:00-50:45 If Facebook was smart, they would allow people to share revenue from the pages they create, like the New York Times, for example.
52:00-53:30 What kept Jerry there for so long in the first place? Was he just hoping he could turn it around?
53:30-58:00 The Huffington Post is planning to launch a 24/7 streaming online news network. How will this pan out?
58:00-1:00:30 So Cyan, if someone wants to pitch you, what channel should they go through?
1:02:00-1:02:15 Erik, Cyan, thank you both for joining me today. We'll see you next week!
