Startup Blogging
Mark Macguire and fellow Jellyfish co-founder Brian Wiegand, have left Microsoft to start up another company. And this time they are going to try their best to blog the process. Mark and Brian genuinely had some innovative ideas around the performance marketing space first with their search engine that was ordered by cashback (which now powers Microsoft’s efforts in the area) and perhaps less followed, their Shopping Game shows, where folks would guess the lowest price an item would drop to before someone bought it. Be sure to add the blog to your reader if you are interested in the world of startups.
From success to failure. Go check out Jason Goldberg’s post on his first 7 months in his new company, socialmedian.com. Jason was the former CEO of Jobster and was certainly hung out to dry by many (and many for justified concerns). But you can’t help but love someone who jumps right back into the startup game and also is so transparent about recognizing mistakes and not making them again. He has instantly earned my respect.
