Adventures in home working

This post by Brad Feld, a Venture Capitalist who has recently invested in NewsGator is useful if you too have invested in a copy and want to understand a bit about where the tool is going.  But its also interesting if like me you want to understand a bit about syndication in general and the market opportunity as investors see it.  I recently posted on how I see the market from a technical perspective for behind the firewall corporate environments, in discussion with NewsGator this market is certainly in their plans.

More PowerPoint posts continue to catch my eye.  The first is from Brad Fled, a venture capitalist who has recently invested in NewsGator,  Brad writes:

I've looked at thousands (tens of thousands?) presentations pitching new businesses since the mid 1990's. The vast majority of them suck. Unfortunately, it's not Powerpoint's fault (no - it wouldn't be better if Freelance has become the standard).

Brad points us to:

 Edward Tufte - a master of The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, thinks Powerpoint is evil and corrupts absolutely

He also gives us a good outline presentation for pitching to a VC, which is definately worth checking out if you ever have the need.  In fact its a good start if you need to make a pitch for any kind of investment.
