10Q Detective does a great analysis of why troubled dermatology company Connetics might be a buy now.


Yet another six-digit domain name deal. This time it's not even a dot-com.


If you are thinking of starting a blog and want some ideas on making money, Read this.


Trade Like Markel, courtesy of Controlled Greed.


Interesting interview with a Web entrepreneur via Guy Kawasaki's blog.


VC Will Price compares the performance of VC firms with the S&P.


Jealous.


A statistical look at the Duke Lacrosse case via the Freakonomics blog.


More than ever, I am excited about the new business models that are still cropping up thanks to blogs and the so-called "Web 2.0." The Internet is just a nonstop source of good entrepreneurial ideas. Om Malik mentions a new ad network starting up. Incidentally, Malik himself just took VC money to turn his blog into a business.


Its amazing to me that YouTube.com had its official launch only last December, and now it's the advertising medium of the future. Go YouTube!


An attempt to map the blogosphere. I don't get it, but it looks cool.


If you want to start blogging, Steve Rubel's micropersuasion is a must-read. Here he points out a study on what makes a successful blogger.


Paul Kedrosky points out an interesting report on the costs of being public. I think these costs are actually higher than reality, but the report does point out the problem of Sarbanes-Oxley. Sarbanes-Oxley doesn't really accomplish much except to make companies look for exchanges elsewhere (hence the increasing popularity of the London AIM market) to go public.


Carmen Electra and pink sheets. Although, it's the other pink sheets.


Great analysis of Internet video via the Internet Stock Blog.


Value Discipline on the stocks in the pet game.


This looks like a must-see.
