Tahoe, it was a very impressive presentation! The CEO was sharp, articulate and focused. Someone did a great job with the Power Point Slides. He spoke of integration and the importance of creating a real business focused on long term value. The vision was sound, it made sense and was presented with passion and clarity. The Netrillionare club got up at the end and gave him a plaque and presentation. Another shareholder spoke on the importance of "integrity". The CEO them affirmed the notion by speaking of the importance of "credibility". His sincerity came through very clearly. The presentation was touching. The team at the top is very young, very sharp and very focused. However, I was left wondering if they have formed a team based on age at the expense of talent. The same chaotic energetic talent which takes organizations from very small to medium size, is sometimes quite different from that which is needed to go from medium size to very large size. They appear poised to grow into a large organization in the next year or so. And I hope they have some serious students of "system thinking", in that young group of managers. I asked if they intended to offer free subscriptions to SI given the powerful advertising model. The CEO believed the rif-raff would be too great. And quality of SI participants was more important than quantity. He also got a good laugh by mocking Yahoo's bulletin board model. I'm still not convinced you can't have both, quality and open participation. We will have to see what the future holds though. My instinct tells me the incentives will become too great in the next two years to maintain the present model. Michael
