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
