I am writing a new post for Ugotrade. But it is taking quite a bit of research, so thank goodness for Posterous.  Posterous really is positioned perfectly between Twitter's micro blogging and my penchant for macro blogging on Ugotrade. 

At the moment I am going over my notes on  "Web Meets World " start ups - particularly the ones I heard pitch at Web 2.0 Summit.  I am really interested, of course, in projects that are part of the grand scheme of instrumenting the world. The best start up pitches I heard did seem to score high on Guy Kawasaki's Reality Check test .  Now I think I should order Guy's book - see video on Reality Check here!  I snapped Guy signing copies at Web 2.0 Summit (see below).

As my friend Jonathan Hochman said on Day 1, "if everyone here [Web 2.0 Summit] shut down their website it would be the end of the intenet!"  Which is why I still have many more pictures from Web 2.0 Summit to post!
