:: Setting sites ::

Thursday, March 03, 2005

The Connected Ventures guys, (in)famous for CollegeHumor.com, were written up in the New Yorker recently and at the time I dismissed them as nothing more than savvy entrepreneurs who saw a lucrative one-trick pony and went about addressing it expeditiously. I was wrong. Besides running conceptually-interesting sites like Crazewire alongside more low-brow counterparts, two of the five gents, Jakob Lodwick and Zach Klein, have started up Vimeo as a side project. It's, more or less, Flickr for video - a very complimentary comparison - and it's in keeping with the nice, simplified style of Flickr and its tag-crazy ilk (Del.icio.us et al).

I too want to sit in a Tribeca live/workspace loft and create cool sites. Well, at least my lifelong dream to set a world record for the longest un-refueled single-pilot airplane flight is still... crap. I'll do it better. I'll be blindfolded. And incontinent.
