In praise of dual-class stock structures for public companies
via blog.pmarca.com by Marc Andreessen on May 06, 2008
A dual-class stock structure means that a company has two different classes of common stock. Each class of stock has the same economic ownership of the company, yet different voting rights.

via ReadWriteWeb by Richard MacManus on May 08, 2008
Last night ReadWriteWeb got its first link on the Yahoo homepage, thanks to Yahoo Buzz - the beta social news service that is letting blogs get coverage on the world's most trafficked website.

A new web service for Twitter clients
via Scripting News by (author unknown) on May 04, 2008
Yesterday I wrote about a way to prepare to decentralize Twitter, in the event of a lengthy outage. The goal is to create no extra work or complexity for users. I think this is the responsible way for developers to help because it's 1. Not a good idea to build a centralized system around a for-profit company and 2.

A letter to Pennsylvania (or how to become a superdelegate)
via Lessig Blog by (author unknown) on April 16, 2008
I grew up in Pennsylvania, and went to university at Penn (as did just about everyone on my Dad's side of the family). I spent a couple days near where I grew up about three weeks ago, speaking at Penn State and Bucknell, and then travelled to Philadelphia to speak at an Obama event at Penn. It is surprising how home never quite leaves you, no matter how far away you may be. And so as I saw...
