"chris, this is a concern, but it impacts the content partners (Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, etc) whether their content is being viewed on the web or via boxee. and there are new forms of bandwidth coming, like the unregulated spectrum that was made available between the TV white spaces i think it's a manageable risk, but it's risk for sure" - Fred Wilson

"I use the BB browser about 20x per day It's not great, nowhere near the safari browser on the iPhone But it gets the job done for me whenever I need it" - Fred Wilson

I agree. I'd rather deal with the crap browser rather than the iPhone's battery life issues and the lack of keyboard. And this coming from a huge Apple fanboy since 1983. Btw Fred - you should fund a startup whose goal is to build a Safari clone for BBerry using Webkit... business model is sell it for $5. I'd buy one for everyone in my company. - Aaron deMello

"this is a big and bold statement and i agree with it, of course. blogging got close, but the addition of short and mobile make all the difference in the world i think we are only starting to see the innovation in this space and i don't think twitter will end up with all the value. there will be plenty of value to go around. just as there will be businesses more valuable than facebook built on top of facebook, there will be plenty of value built on top of twitter." - Fred Wilson

"i think 2000 to 2003 was pretty rough. i lost more money in a couple months than i will ever make back. i put a dozen companies through bankruptcy. fired thousands of people. perfected the cram down financing. was sued multiple times. had to call in the lawyers to investigate a public company i was on the board of. had to put out a press release saying we had found major financial misdoing in a public company i was on the audit committee of. i could go on and on. that was hardship. and i don't think i am in for anything like that in the coming years. but i am an optimist too howard. and i've made my big mistakes. i am four years older than you, which is 28 years older in internet years :)" - Fred Wilson
