RT @jonrussell: Why reporting news based on the unconfirmed stories of others, particularly from Asia, is best avoided http://fortune.com/2014...
I get how people may not give a shit about how much equity Angels/VCs may take, but it's very important for innovation. Especially in Asia.
RT @serkantoto: @Mona Predatory AND just dumb. I don’t know which is worse.
It's concerning how predatory some big Asian VC firms are. I hope someone writes an investigative piece, because that is just wrong.
Current weather: level bajillion tweet storm, timeline tornado disaster = hot mess

Greatest thing about living in Asia is how I see drunk tweets from the US sober hours, serious, sober, "smart" tweets from our drunk hours.

I come back to Tokyo and it seems the number of people walking down the streets watching shows on their iPads and phablets have tripled. WHY

RT @davemcclure: today is full of possibility... and every day is today :)

RT @Ripleys: In weird news... Someone on a segway is talking his Hipster out for a walk? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014... https://twitter.com/Ripleys...
Brands pay Twitter when someone @replies to a promoted tweet. One more way to get back at brands I dislike; og way clicking their AdWords ;)
Neat: a Hacker News / Reddit type newsfeed of what VCs and Angels are reading, sharing http://nuzzel.com/abrams... via @VentureBeat
I wonder if all those parents who share their kid photos on Facebook and Insta daily save the photos locally... Or is there even a need?
