Real Girls Media raises $6 Million

Real Girls Media, another San Francisco start up that is gearing a web site towards women. Funny thing is, they are approaching this whole Web 2.0 thing from the top down. They are building it from – 1. Acquire the money, 2. Put the people needed in place, 3. Build the site.

The company is founded by Kay Everett Thorp who at one time was a venture partner at a San Francisco venture firm Walden VC. The company is slated for launch next year as in 2007, along with the first of her ideas which is also scheduled for a 2007 start – DivineCaroline.com – targeting women ages 25 to 54.  

This compares to another start up called Sugar that is doing it the more traditional way. It is quite interesting to read about as well as blog about the number of women oriented sites that are hitting late 2006, and ones scheduled for 2007. I would have to say it is way beyond time to attract more women to the internet. There are some very smart people here, that are doing what I have talked about before in one of my podcast shows – target marketing. It’s old school, but hey – it does work!

 Technically Speaking, $6 Million is a big chunk of change on something that is only going to come online sometime in 2007. Again, I ask – “Where is Rex Dixon’s freakin’ $6 Million???”

Google’s Click To Call

I already talked about the bad uses OR should I say the more expanded capabilities of the service today. I wonder if this is a great service or something that should be secured a little more? Technically Speaking that is!

Joanne Bradford Takes over MSN

Microsoft has pulled the trigger, and the new top person at MSN is none other then Joanne Bradford, the software’s top ad-sale and marketing executive. This was talked about earlier on VentureBeat, and now it appears that is is official.

Google, Yahoo, Microsoft Part 2

It’s really just a matter of choice. We all see the same news, and we all do our own spin on it. I find it interesting to read all of them, and you the reader should have it all in one spot. Now of course the way you should be doing it is via our sponsor link and logo for – yourminis - located to the right or in the upper right corner under “Visit Our Sponsors“.

TechCrunch’s – Google, Yahoo, Microsoft

GigaOm’s – Ditto the above!

Technically Speaking, time for me to get rolling and outta here for awhile!

Sequoia Rocked in Court!

Stay Tuned folks. You think Rex Dixon and Mr. Business Golf havne’t been around the block a time or two? You don’t think that history doesn’t repeat itself? Heed the warning VC people. You may have your money, your stock portfolios, your slamming Zune (ha!) right now – but it could all come tumbling down like the house of cards you are living in.

This has been a public service announcement to the fools that don’t get the idea that Rex Dixon and Mr. Business Golf are not just saying what we say to hear ourselves talk. I’m not even posting links to the podcasts I refer too, if the VC types haven’t taken the time to learn the hard lessons of the record biz from the late 80’s — well they deserve to have their BMW’s repo’d, their cell phones shut off, and thrown into the gutter and spit out like yesterday’s news.

Medio raises $30 million

Medio, is now the second start up from Seattle that I have blogged about in at least the last 12 hours. They are doing something that other search engines are not adopting too well, or quick enough at this time. That would of course be the cell phone search market, or mobile market specifically. It’s quite apparent that if they are able to raise that much capital to work with, search is an important thing for allot of users!

GridNetworks

GridNetworks is a Seattle startup that wants to take some thunder as well as some more of the huge video market. It aims to compete with the upcoming Venice Project, which is the company started by the Skype co-founders. Venice is supposed to launch in New York at the Television conference Thurs. or Friday.

You can read the GridNetwork statement on their technology. Venice project was covered more indepth about 2 weeks back right here.

That is it until after 5am when I have to get up from sleeping; well yeah.. Technically Speaking I already am sleeping!
