Should you sell your private company shares on SecondMarket? (thisweekin.com)

Jason, I'm a huge fan of TWiST and I think the show is an amazing resource.

That said, next time you post an episode could you please submit a link to just the youtube video and at least have the marker positioned to the point in the interview that's about the title of the post.

I don't feel like watching this whole episode, and I might be wrong but episodes generally include a ton of fluff...


I debated youtube vs. thisweekin.com and went with our site since it has show notes and youtube doesn't.


Righhhhhhht... Did you keep a straight face while typing that? Any frequenter of reddit or hn knows this is blog spam, plain and simple.

Oh also, I heard you are looking to fund some companies. I don't want one of your domains, but I do want advice and money. Happy to send a deck with some numbers... No NDA of course.


OK, so to recap:

1. Embedding an 80 minute video you made, with considerable cost I might add, on your own website is now spam?

2. reddit is now the gold standard of internet etiquette

3. the new best practice for to courting angel investors is courting them with trollish comments

rock on


There is a perfectly adequate section for notes on Youtube videos ;)

Edit For everyone else that wants to get to the point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DVz3wJadfM#t=23m51s


Could someone describe SecondMarket? Particularly, I don't understand how the stuff traded there is illiquid in some context, but evidently not in _their_ context.


This was a great episode. Cool when can identify world changing shifts as they are happening.
