Not the image you expect from such a menacing title. Interesting read, nevertheless.

Top 10 Technology VCs Online

Social media and other online channels are increasingly driving the influence, reach, and ultimately the success of today’s venture capitalists. Whether through blogging or tweeting, podcasting or networking via professional communities on LinkedIn, the Web provides powerful opportunities for venture capitalists to interact with entrepreneurs and the world.

For this report, OpenView examined what it deemed to be the top technology-focused venture capital firms in the United States. We then compiled a list of 28 venture capitalists to analyze for the report by examining their use of three social media tools: blogs, Twitter, and Quora. The result was a ranking of the 10 most influential venture capitalists online overall, as well as the top five using each of these tools. Importantly, the report also looks at the techniques these leading venture capitalists use to fuel their success online.

Leonardo da Vinci’s resume

April 9, 2012 By Bobby Voicu

And that’s exactly what your resume needs to do, too. Not the laundry list / standard bio that talks about you, but the marketing piece that talks about the benefits to your future employer and how you fit into his or her needs and desires.

So it turns out that even on his 560th birthday, this remarkable fellow Leonardo da Vinci is teaching us about the future. What a genius…

The Dirty Little Secret Of Overnight Successes

April 9, 2012 By Bobby Voicu

Don’t cave to your mistakes, embrace them. In fact, mistakes are simply to the portals of discovery. There’s an old saying that “every bull’s-eye is the result of a hundred misses.” So the next time you feel the sting of failure, just realize you’re likely one shot closer to hitting your target.

Business Planning Will Make a Comeback

Business Planning Will Make a Comeback

While I don’t love business plans at all (making them, at least), I think a business plan should be taking into consideration (at least a short version of it) even if your startup is based on Lean Startup principles.

How to use Yahoo and MSN Smilies in Pidgin

June 27, 2007 By Bobby Voicu

For the last 2 years I have been using Gaim for all my Instant Messaging needs (especially Yahoo Messenger). Recently, along with version 2.0, Gaim is no longer Gaim, it is Pidgin. I was happy to see it out of the beta, but something stopped me from using it from the first day. I was so used to the Yahoo Smilies, I just didn’t feel comfortable with the default Pidgin smilies.

Now, that’s not a problem anymore: I have found a theme pack with all the smilies for both Yahoo and MSN. I have found it on gnome-look.org.

Why would you use Pidgin instead of Yahoo Messenger? How about no advertising, nu stupid buzz (ok, that was then, now you can remove the buzz), the same IM client on Linux and Windows? No IMVs, no Audibles… The same client for every protocol (MSN, GTalk). Yes, you might lose some advantages like Photosharing and file sending, but trust me, you will be a lot happier having them in your email account, to be able to find them from any computer.

Well, you have to test it to understand what the heck I am talking about

P.S.: Pidgin is almost similar to a cartoon some of my friends created, which is hilarious and deserves your attention: Pidjin

My first post

May 21, 2007 By Bobby Voicu

On the new blog, obviously.

I was never good at writing first posts, but I have to. I read somewhere that the first post is important in order to set the tone for the entire blog and, why not, set some targets to achieve for myself.

As such, I would like my blog to be as informative as Darren Rowse’s Problogger, as light hearted as Shoemoney‘s, as succesful as John Chow‘s, as open about my projects as Tyler Cruz‘s and as funny as I can be (which is not much).

That’s about it for the first post. Stick around to see how’s it working in the end.
