Yossi Vardi being honest

Yossi Vardi – the grandfather of the Israeli tech scene and guest speaker at Campus Party on Thursday – while in Israel. Vardi has invested in over 80 high-tech companies and his Midas touch has seen many of his investments sell to global businesses in multi-million deals – including ICQ (sold to AOL), Brightcove, TheGiftsProject (sold to eBay), and FoxyTunes (sold to Yahoo). He has acted as an advisor to the World Bank and the UN. He also tells a mean joke. Here are some of his nuggets of wisdom for anyone starting up in the tech scene.

Classic behind the scenes look at how "winning investments" are made. The real question i have is are any USA based VC firms really doing it any differently? Sure you can draw up your charts and your theories but isnt it all just darts at the end of the day?

Rihanna to chat live on Facebook

Its great to see how many stars are taking on the experience of live chat with their fans,

 

 

Rihanna to chat live on Facebook

Rihanna's going to get a little face time with Andy Cohen and millions of fans tonight.

Considering that she has one of the largest audiences on Facebook (She has 62,251,725 fans.), Rihanna could be there for a while.

The chat is set to start at 7 p.m. EST. Viewers can catch everything at http://facebookcom/facebooklive. If you can't log on in time, don't worry. A video of the session will be available to watch online right after RiRi signs off.

Colorado, Washington Legalize Recreational Marijuana

http://abcnews.go.com/ABC_Univision/News/colorado-washington-legalize-recreational-marijuana/story?id=17656515

This has to be the biggest side story of the night.

Recreational use is VERY different to medical use. No need to fly to amsterdam anymore just go skiing in colorado.

http://www.LivePoliticalChat.com is powering down today for the forseeeable future but with political issues like this and the fiscal cliff coming up over the next few months it wont be long before we power it back up for its next event.

Facebook "bait and switch"

lol just posted this to each of the Live Fan Chat facebook pages eg LBBC LFBC LNSC the irony of it only being seen by 5% at most of the people who have clicked they wanted to subscribe to our content is classic.


http://dangerousminds.net/comments/facebook_i_want_my_friends_back
 Write a comment below if you see this but i know that less than 10% of my pages fans will actually even be shown this message let alone know that i wrote this post.
 Facebook Timeline is the bigest bait and switch in recent history@!!

Time to reimplement RSS feeds and email subscriptions to reach people who want to hear from us and remove the bottleneck in between us.

Larry King hosts the unrepresented "Third-Party" presidential debate tonight Tuesday 23rd, Oct at 9pm

Larry King chats live to
"Third-Party Candidates"
tonight at 9pm.

Join the "real alternatives" live fan chat with Larry King "Third-Party Candidate" debate tonight 9pm.

This debate will be harder to find on tv (dont let anyone tell you media is free and fair in America). If you are on Time Warner Cable it will be on Ch-135 on RT America and Ch-776 on Cspan, if you are on other networks you'll need to find your local guide.

If you want to watch it online it will be shown at http://www.ora.tv/ora2012/thirdparty ,or on Hulu, or on YouTube.

We'll be running a live fan chat event at http://www.LivePoliticalChat.com/go/1939 so feel free to forward this email and invite your friends to join you during the live fan chat simulcast.


Whats the point of an AmericanThird Party candidate?

As you can see on this list - http://www.presidentsusa.net/thirdparty.html most Third Party candidates are single platform parties. The real question I'd like to hear answered tonight is whats the point of participation? What do each of them hope to bring to the table.


Did You know Larry King owns part of OraTV?

OraTV was set up primarily as a platform for Larry King to spin off after leaving CNN - http://www.adweek.com/news/press/larry-kings-oratv-gearing-summer-launch-140613 Does this affect how you feel about watching him in the debate tonight? Would you think less or more if you knew Candy Crowley owned part of CNN.

Curious about your thoughts, also curious to know if you think TV networks have any advantages over online video providers except for "bradcast" efficiences.

3rd USA Presidential Debate tonight 7pm

3rd and final debate tonight 7pm edt
The 3rd USA Presidential Debate starts earlier than normal tonight at 7pm.

We'll be running a live fan chat event at http://www.LivePoliticalChat.com/go/19378 so feel free to forward this email and invite your friends to join you during the live fan chat simulcast.


Does either candidate have an edge on Foreign Policy?

With Lebanon being pulled into the Syrian conflict over the past few days does either candidate have an edge?

It will be interesting to see if Israel forms a significant portion of the debate or will they steer clear of this "third rail" issue as neither candidate has a solution palatable for all voters.

Will either candidate seriously address the bigger "Foreign Policy" issue begins at home with the realisation that 'Merica has to slim down its resource demands and that the end of cheap food and peak oil is upon us and unless we can fit into a global equilibrium "resource" issues with China/India/Indonesia will dominate the next few decades making territorial issues in the middle east look like an easy problem to solve.

Is the future of USA foreign policy one of engagement or of competition - what do you think?


Will there ever be an American Third Party candidate?

Bloomberg made an interesting move yesterday with his "Center pac". What are your thoughts can we ever have a successful Third Party candidate or are the dollars/numbers required just never going to make this possible and even Romne"sias" move towards the center over the past few weeks cost him political capital?

For all the Gary Johnson fans out there http://www.LivePoliticalChat.com will also be hosting a live fan chat during Tuedays "Third Party" debate hosted by Larry King. On stage live discussing the issues will be Gary Johnson (Libertarian Party), Jill Stein (Green Party), Virgil Goode (Constitution Party) and Rocky Anderson (Justice Party).

Unfortunately watching Tuesday's Third-Party debate will be a little harder, RT America (Ch 135 on TimeWarner) will be the only channel carrying it live (C-Span are talking about carrying it live but still to be confirmed). Alternatively fire up your browser and head over to http://freeandequal.org/events/presidential-debate/ to watch the video and then join in the live fan chat at http://www.LivePoliticalChat.com/go/19379 from 9pm Tuesday.


Will 'CBS' Schieffer win the Debate Moderator title?

During the second debate on Oct. 16, there were 122 interruptions in total — an average of 1.4 per minute, according to George Mason University's Center for Media and Public Affairs

Being in such a high profile role is a thankless task, i figure if at the end of the night you go home and both sides hate you equally (including the public) then you've done your job well.

Kristen Stewart cuts live fan chat short

http://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/2012/10/19/kristen-stewart-answers-fans-questions-in-live-chat/1643481/

Looking a little uneasy, Kristen Stewart answered fan questions in a live Web chat for Balenciaga on Thursday afternoon.
It as scheduled as a 30-minute event to promote the brand's Florabotanica perfume, for which she is the "muse," but the chat was over in about half that time.....

http://balenciagafragrance.com/en/live-interview


lol so she wasnt briefed that dealing directly with fans was harder than her regular acting style....?

Who would have thought Big Bird could topple the USA Presidential Election. I'm not sure this was the "zinger" the Republicans had in mind.


wow just 6 hours of military spending=PBS annual budget yep Mr Romney cutting PBS is going to make a huge difference- http://on.fb.me/RwXTxR

But for coaching staff and the players, this is why they have the record they have "McCarthy: I told team to keep the faith. What's left is to get back and get ready for Saints".

#CNNsotu

Wow Watching #CNNsotu and heard only 14c spent in a grocery goes to the farmer, the biggest portion goes in energy costs!


Imagine a world were we can reduce energy costs thermal/solar/BlackKryptonIfusion by 90% what this would mean to food costs/production costs of good (clothes/household products etc)

Why are we spending money blowing shit up in the middle east and not on the R&D of BlackKryptonIfusion or other alternative energy.

Real time translation

neat, i just noticed that http://littlemonsters.com/ has real time translating for their chat engine, nicely done.

Facebook kills the Live Stream Plugin

Chuckled at "requires refreshing for every comment to appear", lol what exactly are these guys spending their R&D dollars on??


I know massively scalable chat is hard to do but if http://www.livefanchat.com/ can do it it properly you'd think that Facebook would have no issues scaling and not need to kill this product (heck they paid $20m for the Hot Potato developers to buy the experience/technology).

September 2012 Breaking Changes (90-day notice) - Removing Live Stream plugin

The Live Stream plugin will be removed on September 5, 2012. We recommend using the Comments Box plugin instead. Please migrate your app as soon as possible. On September 5th, if your app is still using the Live Stream plugin, we will render the Comments Box plugin in its place. While it offers similar functionality, there are a few functional differences. Please see the Live Stream plugin documentation for more info.


Migration to Comments Box Plugin - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/live-stream
On September 5, 2012, if you are still utilizing the Live Stream plugin, we will render the Comments Box Plugin instead. While the Comments Box plugin offers similar functionality, there are a few differences:

· Live Stream allowed you to specify an xid so that you may have multiple plugins on the same page. Comments box does not allow this.

· Comments Box does that have 'via attribution url' for specifying where outbound clicks should go

· Comments Box requires a refresh for updates

Road Course !!

This weekend is one of the two road course events in the Nascar calendar.

Nationwide Sargento 200
Saturday 3pm edt
- http://www.LiveNascarChat.com/go/16284

Sadler is said to be the critics favorite however even though he finished fourth last year and has been on a winning streak this year i'm not so sure.

What is interesting however is that Jacques Villeneuve in the 22 car will representing for Penske Racing - i know a lot of oval fans will be booing...but we'll see.


Sprint Save Mart 350
Sunday 2pm edt
- http://www.LiveNascarChat.com/go/15817

Two wide restarts, left and "right" hand turns, whats not to love about Sonoma :)

Its interesting how there is no longer any real "ring-ins" for the road courses, and those that are...have their hands full anyway. This is Ambrose race to lose but with drivers getting anxious in the passing zones it only takes one bump to put anyone out of the running.

Lets face it- this race is impossible to handicap, if you think you can do better feel free to post your picks pre race day at http://www.facebook.com/LiveNascarChat/posts/315260778564728

Facebook has gone too far

i've just posted the following comment out on each of the 14 facebook fan pages we have for www.LiveFanChat.com/Sites


This extortion will not work in the long run.
.
.
.
.

Isn’t Facebook supposed to be the magical tool that levels the playing field for small business, non-profits, and grass roots movements? Once upon a time, maybe…but not so much now.

Do you know that “IF” you see this post you are one of only a few percent of the people that are fans of this Facebook page who will see it. It’s the abysmally small number Facebook bothered to publish in newsfeeds.

Yeah. You read that correctly. Most fans don’t receive our posts at all, in any way, shape, or form.

Facebook is only sharing them with fans who repeatedly return to our page/post or comment on the page weekly, The rest of the posts you see in your newsfeed are big corporations who are paying to be there.


In fact only about 4-6% of our posts are ever seen by anyone eg - http://alwaysupward.com/blog/fb-fans-arent-seeing-your-posts-and-how-to-fix-it

Basically since the IPO Facebook have demanded payment from each and every post LiveFanChat make in order for it to be seen and these payments run from as little as $5 to several hundred dollars depending on the size of the Facebook group.

This is ridiculous http://www.livefanchat.com/ has 14 different Facebook pages ranging from a few hundred to well over a few thousand followers we’ve built up over the last 12 months for our http://www.livebaseballchat.com/
http://www.livebasketballchat.com/
http://www.livenascarchat.com/
etc etc pages.

If we cant use Facebook to communicate with our fans without paying then screw Facebook and we’ll start using other methods to publish our content out.

Please sign up to one of the http://www.LiveFanChat.com/sites and we’ll send you an update via email on how changes about how you can access your content as we no longer choose to play Mark Zuckerbergs games.

Thunder vs Heat ...bringing it for 2012 NBA finals

So many teams came close, it could have easily been Celtics or Spurs in the finals but at the end of the day the teams that are here are the ones that dug deep and pulled out clutch plays when it counted.

I'm not even going to try and predict who the winner of this matchup is apart from over the next week we are going to see some of the best basketball in 2012.

Each team have an obvious power player in Lebron and Durant, but its the "other" superstars like Bosh and how well they can effectively pull defenders away from the zone that will determine attacking success.

With the Heat being in back to back finals you might tip the scales to them....but i wouldn't.

Pocono this weekend

Winstar 400

The Camping World Trucks are back in Texas tonight, rain cancelled qualifying last night so you know what that means...they'll all be messing and shuffling early.

The live fan chat for Friday nights race kicks off at 8.30pm
- http://www.LiveNascarChat.com/go/16309


Sprint Cup Pocono 400
Ok so this is the first year with the new pavement, can someone explain to me why a new pavement makes things so much faster?

The track lap test times this week are coming in faster than last years "season best lap times".

Do you think this helps one driver over another? Post your comment on our Facebook wall now.

With this years race being 100 miles shorter a few drivers feel they are in the with a shot but my money is on Hamlin and even though he has won here 4 times in 6 years he's down talking his chances with the new distance and track surface.

The live fan chat for Pocono Sprint Cup starts at Sun 12:00 edt
- http://www.LiveNascarChat.com/go/15815


Curate Smurate
Ok so Nascar inc and Twitter have just signed a deal where you can now post your #Nascar tweets onto the tv starting with Pocono - http://www.lostremote.com/2012/05/21/twitter-announces-partnership-with-nascar-to-compliment-broadcast/

My response to this was
"Curate...smurate people want to say what they've got to say and not have it moderated. Closed walled gardens are great for kindergarden but the internet wants to be free which is why moderation is controlled by the end user at sites like http://www.LiveNascarChat.com.


Having a delayed curated discussion is about as exciting as talking to my fish as they swim left around their bowl".

So let me know am i wrong with my thinking on this? Do you want someone to filter what you are saying?

We built http://www.livenascarchat.com/ so fans can have a place to say whatever they want...and if you dont like what someone has to say easy...click their username and block them you never see their message again.

Put the tools in the hands of the people instead of curating their comments.


Thanks to NasBus for another year

Facebook are now restricting feeds

LiveFanChat have probably spent about $60 on testing Facebook ads over the last 2 years so we aren’t the target audience/company for the new Facebook promote feature (as we are cheap skates and don’t spend much on advertising - probably spent about $50 on google ads in 2 years) but the issue I see here is that Facebook are now moderating what you as an end user sees, eg I peronally probably only get to see about 50 posts a day these days even though I log into Facebook regularly.

Basically Facebook are "restricting" what I see as an end user and this is breaking the original Facebook model that I get to choose what I see and don’t see. I don’t think most users have worked this out yet...but when they do there will be a revolt against Facebook.

The good feature that Facebook introduced is we now have super accurate analytics on who is seeing posts. As such I can determine is it worth my time to post updates about Celtics vs Heat game tonight - http://www.facebook.com/LiveBasketballChat/posts/378102848906321 because it accurately shows me how many people have seen this post 30 mins after posting (and seems to update hourly thereafter).

What this as a developer tells me is unless Facebook quit freaking around with feeds....as a content provider we'll start moving to email, sms, or similar if we cant control interaction with our end users.

Curate...smurate....

"Starting with NASCAR’s Pocono 400 race, which will air on TNT, Twitter will be curating #NASCAR to capture the buzz around the game".

- http://www.lostremote.com/2012/05/21/twitter-announces-partnership-with-nascar-to-compliment-broadcast



Curate...smurate people want to say what they've got to say and not have it moderated. Closed walled gardens are great for kindergarden but the internet wants to be free which is why moderation is controlled by the end user at sites like http://www.livenascarchat.com/


If you dont want to see someones message you just block them personally, having a delayed curated discussion is about as exciting as talking to my fish as they swim left around their bowl.

Shanghai Live F1 Chat tomorrow

Out of no where Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg claimed the first Formula One pole position of his career.


McLaren's Lewis Hamilton qualified second, but will have to start Sunday's race from seventh due to a five-place grid penalty for changing his gearbox.

The biggest surprise of qualifying was the absence of world champion Sebastian Vettel from the final session. He missed out on the top 10 by just five hundredths of a second and will start the race from 11th.

Although six of the previous seven winners (minus Kimi Raikkonen - 2007) will line-up for Sunday's event, only McLaren's Lewis Hamilton has ever won this event twice.

If the qualifying has been any indication.....should be a great race.


If you want to help us out please ReTweet or post on your Facebook wall the following;

Olbermann booted from Current TV as well.

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2012/03/current-pulls-the-plug-on-keith-olbermanns-contract/1?csp=hf


Wow first kicked out of MSNBC and now Current TV

Is the problem with Keith, his content, or the way that networks make money from advertisers versus the content commentatiors like Keith want to express.

Does anyone else feel there is an issue with the "many network" model i mean realistically the cable only networks just dont seem to be getting traction for Current/OWN etc that the NBC/CBS etc can the way they were projected to a few years ago.

Final 4

Final 4 is this Saturday the 31st of March.

Louisville Vs Kentucky
Game time - 6.09pm est
Chat URL - http://www.LiveCollegeBasketballChat.com/go/16433

This matchup between the No .1 seeded Kentucky Wildcats and the No. 4 Louisville Cardinals could very well end up being an even better and more heated contest than the final championship game. From 1971 until now, Louisville has won two National Championships and been in eight Final Fours. Kentucky has won three National Championships and been in nine Final Fours.

Will be the game of the night if not the championship.


Ohio State Vs Kansas
Game time - 8.49pm est
Chat URL - http://www.LiveCollegeBasketballChat.com/go/16432

Buckeyes Vs Jayhawks is the second game of the night. Jared Sullinger did not play the first time the Buckeyes met up against the Jayhawks this season. Kansas won 78-67, but had Ohio State had Sullinger who knows what the outcome would have looked like.

The Buckeyes had a very clear an effective game plan against the Syracuse Orange: attack them inside.The Big Ten is a tough conference and its teams know how to win tough games. This will be the 14th Final Four appearance for Kansas.

Great article, love the OMGPOP and the Pandora examples.

Game of the round
Kansas Vs North Carolina State - Game time 10.17pm est Friday March 23

North Carolina State is fresh off upsetting the three-seeded Georgetown in the round of 32. They came back from a 10-point deficit at halftime to squeak by and win the game by just three points. And the N.C. State Wolf Pack might just have another upset victory in them.

#ItsBristolBaby

This Sunday we're back at Bristol "Nascars toughest short track".


The Live Nascar Chat url for the Bristol Sprint Cup on Sunday will be - http://www.LiveNascarChat.com/go/15803

Please pass it on via Twitter and Facebook and lets get some buzz for these races.
Better still ask them to add you to their buddylist at http://www.LiveNascarChat.com/Username so they can see when you log in.


Drivers to watch
Kyle Busch is the Bristol Master since the new progressive banking configuration changes in 2007 winning 4 of the past 6 races including last year.

However keep an eye out for Jimmie Johnson who needs to make up the ugly 25 point penalty. Johnson has been a contender here in the past winning 5 times including 2010.
Who else do you think is one to watch this weekend? Why not post your thoughts on our Facebook wall at www.Facebook.com/LiveNascarChat


Driving for a living....
Brian Vickers will race for the first time this season at Bristol Motor Speedway, and believes he's got nothing to lose and nothing to prove.

"I just want to go racing. Honestly, what's the worst that can happen? I'm not going to have a job?'' Vickers said Friday at Bristol. "For me, it's just go out there and have fun and just enjoy the experience. I've been through this a couple times now where I don't know if I'm going to race again".

I tell you it must be a tough way to make a living - i've been reading the personal facebook pages of a few up and coming drivers this week and they all seem to say raising the sponsorship money is the toughest part of the gig.

Live F1 Chat returns for season 2012

Its time to banish the kids from the living room this Sunday and get back into F1 racing.


Melbourne is such a great location to start off the F1 season though its a shame the start time for the race is Sunday the 18th at 5pm Melbourne local time which unfortunately means a 2am start time here on the east coast USA at http://www.livefanchat.com/ headquarters.

For those of you living in better time zones the Live F1 Chat url will be - http://www.LiveF1chat.com/go/16375

New rules new creativity
F1 has always been seen as the pinnacle of motor racing engineering with ideas and features filtering down to regular cars over the years eg. ABS etc. However this off season even i smiled at the incredible genius of F1 designers

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/17/sports/autoracing/17iht-srf1rules17.html
..... teams nonetheless found another way of overcoming the lack of downforce in the rear, creating an equally ingenious system that blew exhaust gases out over the rear diffuser to create extra downforce.


The engines could blow fumes out from the exhaust pipe even when the driver was not putting his foot on the gas pedal — when, for example, the car was traveling through corners where the extra downforce was highly beneficial. The method included a computer-controlled system that programmed the engine to shoot out the exhaust at the desired moment.


This year, the blown diffuser has been banned, although teams are again fighting to find ways around the rule. “Teams will not unlearn the knowledge they have gained, and it is quite likely this area of regulation will need to be revisited again in 2013,” said Charlie Whiting, the F.I.A.’s technical chief.

Makes me wonder when we'll see active vacuum that was used on the Mclaren F1 filter down to regular chevy/bmw road cars.


The return of Räikkönen
Kimi Räikkönen is taking a leaf from Schumacher's book – a former champion (with Ferrari in 2007) returning after a sabbatical – and insists his motivation has always been strong, even if things haven't necessarily always looked that way. Will be interesting to see how competitive he is at Lotus.

Ladies and Gentlemen Start Your Engines....

Our first chat of the season kicks off 30 mins before the green flag at http://www.LiveNascarChat.com/go/15797

Harvick has made seven previous starts in the Budweiser Shootout at Daytona. He raced his No. 29 Chevrolet to Victory Lane twice the last 3 years for the Budweiser Shootout (2009 and 2010), but how can he compare with Tony Stewart's 6 wins at Daytona

Speech bubbles cant be really considered IP....can they?

Lol the things people do for press. There is an article in TechCrunch today by the CEO of HipChat (basically a group chat/IM app) about how he's concerned that Apple are going to sure him because their logos of two speech bubbles is too similar to the Apple Messages app.
