Keen On… Samir Arora: Glam Does Food With Foodie.com (TCTV)
Screen Shot 2012-02-09 at 3.54.26 PM
The pioneer of vertical media, they call themselves. And Glam Media, the publishing network with more than 220 monthly million uniques, announced today their "logical next play" - a vertical food network called Foodie that will offer a social, interactive network (Portal 2.0?) for food bloggers, critics, chefs and, of course, eaters. But, as Glam's co-founder and CEO Samir Arora told me when he came into our San Francisco studio today, Foodie isn't just another of Glam's vertical plays.

Keen On… Dane Jasper: Why High Speed Broadband Is The Key To US Innovation (TCTV)
Keen On…. Dane Jasper_ Why High Speed Broadband Is The Key To US Innovation (TCTV) | TechCrunch
There are few more articulate supporters of high speed broadband access than Sonic.net CEO Dane Jasper. Not only does he think Americans should have the right to high quality broadband, but he also thinks that it is the key to innovation in the broader economy. Home video is, of course, increasingly dependent on broadband and so, Japser told me when he came into our San Francisco studio earlier this week, is innovation in our healthcare and education sectors.

Keen On… Sonic.net: Why Fiber Is The Future Of Wired Connectivity
Screen Shot 2012-02-02 at 8.55.58 AM
It's always nice to see a small, plucky start-up take on the big guys and not only survive but also prosper. My excellent Santa Rosa based ISP Sonic.net is doing just that - laying its own fiber-to-the-premises network in Sebastopol for only $70 a month and signing up 30% of the local market. While the numbers are still small (the fiber network still only reaches 700 Sebastopol homes), the Sonic.net story is encouraging because it shows that innovation is still possible in the ISP space, a market that has been dramatically "consolidated" since 1995, shrinking from thousands of thousands of local providers in the nineties to just a handful of national carriers today.

Keen On… Payvment: Making eCommerce More Social (TCTV)
Screen Shot 2012-01-24 at 2.46.31 AM
Earlier this week, Facebook announced changes to its Open Graph which have huge implications to the social ecommerce platform Payvment. The two year-old Palo Alto based start-up, which already manages 80% of the ecommerce transactions on Facebook, will now be able to be integrated into the Open Graph. What this means, according to Payvment's Founder and CEO Christian Taylor, is that we can now broadcast what we want on our Facebook pages. Such social one-click purchasing power is "big trouble" for Amazon and eBay, Taylor predicts. And even bigger trouble, I suspect, for parents who will now be inundated with gift ideas by their Facebook loving kids.

Keen On…Inside Apple: How Apple Is Organized Like A Terrorist Cell (TCTV)
Screen Shot 2012-01-17 at 10.41.43 PM
The more we know about Apple, it seems, the less we really know. According to the journalist and writer Adam Lashinsky, America's most admired company is also America's least understandable company. And that's why he wrote Inside Apple - to reveal to the world how, as the subtitle of his book says, the Company Really Works.
