12:54 PM me: hey het
I mean, "hey"
you should send me that thing
12:55 PM Andrew: ok, give me a sec
12:56 PM me: beautiful
12:58 PM Andrew: did that go through?
me: yep, thanks
Andrew: ok
so yeah - I need to convey what the paltform is capable of to you
then we need to discuss what is possible with it
12:59 PM me: you know what would be a good way to do that?
Andrew: then we need to pick 2-3 of the best aspects and make a sales pitch with them
me: GOOGLE WAVE
Andrew: true
ill make a wave
me: very well
then like invite me or whatever
1:03 PM Andrew: check otu the wave
its even monospaced
1:04 PM me: I'm already confused
let me get my bearings here
1:05 PM ah, got it
1:08 PM josh got pwned
1:09 PM Andrew: truly
seen ning.com?
me: what's that about?
1:11 PM imma grab a sandwich, brb
Andrew: check it out
same idea
except ning only lets developers customize a little bit
and the info is all hosted on ning's servers
so they still own the network
when you want to make a "ning" site
you pay them
adn then send them some files
1:12 PM and they integrate them into their stuff
btu you are very limited in what you can do
ego works the same way
except no central authority
also, ning got $200 mil in VC over 3 years
1:13 PM me: wow
1:14 PM that's fucked up
okay, brb sandwich
I mean church
Andrew: were this to be even marginally successful
it still may nto make us rich
but it wuold easily put ning out of business
which I also find appealing
1:26 PM me: yeah
I like that aspect, too
2:21 PM me: heh heh
got me another huffpo piece
Andrew: what?

2:28 PM me: how now?
