Web 2.0, social circles

Clarence Wooten over at VPFund, a great guy I met in person at the first TechCrunch BBQ, has a pretty good write-up about how the new web paradigm that many call “Web 2.0″ creates new social circles where anyone virtually knows anyone. I couldn’t agree more. One of the things I found around the time I flew into the Bay Area was how much of the borders were being brought down by the new web – a web that focusses on conversations between people.

Without the new world of relationships and conversations, I wouldn’t have worked on TechCrunch, I wouldn’t be launching an amazing project soon, and I wouldn’t be waking up to a lot of new ideas and people. To sum it up, this is a great time to be an entrepreneur (as Joe Kraus wrote three months ago).

Bling

Back in 2005 we found a need for a great online collaboration tool to manage our clients and projects. We built one for ourselves, and then decided to open it to a greater audience. We turned Goplan into a full-fledged product, and we've been maintaining the platform since.
