Just a friendly reminder that we’re

February 21st) for what looks to be another great Lunch 2.0! We’ll have people from various Yahoo! teams there to host us; it should be a great time
Hope to see you all there!

It was a great event where I met some interesting folks.  A few of them include:

- a table full of Yahoo Sign-in team members

- the founders of Lunch 2.0 (I’d retell the start-up story of Lunch 2.0 but bet I can find it later online somewhere) UPDATE: One of the founders Joseph Smarr wrote an entry about this recently.)

- a CEO searching for an Oracle db developer rockstar (I have one in mind, if you know of one say so in a comment and I’ll pass it on)

- a product manager from Yahoo! Publisher Network

As a result, I’ll be adding, in the theory of Practice (i.e., I’ll want to use it before helping other start-ups use it) YPN as a source for contextual ads to the Channel Blog.  From my understanding its still in beta like mode where they are being very selective on the types of sites accepted into the program.  Hopefully we’ll get Channel Capital Blog in there.

I may add more to this in a bit….Wrrz

 

Travel Fotolog

From time to time I’ll add fotos of people I meet and places I see.  Sometimes it will just be to share with others fotos I think are worth sharing. Other times, it may be fotos that have a point to them that I will sort in a catagory relevant to Channel Capital, LLC.  In the meantime, this is somewhat of an Off topic catagory that is more about the author’s where abouts….which no doubt will influence his world perception…and thus professional path.  More on that thought later…all Travel Fotos will be found at the link below, and I’ll reference some of them within blogs as time goes on.

Amazon Channel Store

I was having too much fun going through Amazon.com selecting boo
ks that I’ve read and plan to blog about.  I’m doing this for a few reasons.  Partly to go through the mental discipline of reviewing all the books I’ve read and asking myself what I learned, how it related to my experience and who/why I would refer it.  Its also because I refer the books to a lot of people who actually go out and buy them….so, as part of my goal to put to practice the things I suggest to companeis I work with, I’m implementing a revenue stream for Channel’s Blog. 

In doing so, I’ve signed up for an Associate Account at amazon.com and went through the process of singing up, picking content, creating a web store, etc..  Over time, I’ll have gone through the collection process and will get to see the stats of people looking vs. buying.

I also plan to do this for GoogleAd words and all the other Advertising networks out there.  I do a blog on each (or each type of program) and talk about what I learned, what could be improved, who it might be right for, etc.

Check out the books in Channel’s Library! Promise me, if you don’t buy something, suggest good books I’ve missed (that I read and forgot) or that I should add to my required reading list!

Singing Up method to Technorati

One method to claim your blog for technorati is getting a url posted, such as this one:

<a href="http://technorati.com/claim/59rhyk8s79" rel="me">Technorati Profile</a>

Perhaps I’ll delete this later, or will update this blog with more info on this process.

First Channel Blog

I am testing out different blog profiders, this one being TypePad.  After reading up about a lot of them, I decided to try out what dog food the dogs were eating.  Guy Kawasaki’s blog was using this services. So – I’m thinking it can’t be terrible and just might be great. 

We’ll see. If this works, we’ll go nuts with it. If not, we’ll keep searching for a blog that fits our needs.
