| 03.05.2000 | Why e-Business is Going to Slowdown | A good article about why e-business is going to slow down in the next few years. It’s not the typical explanation about the stock market, but a more realistic look at why e-business can’t keep growing at the rate it has been. |
| 01.05.2000 | The Grass is Greener in Silicon Valley | A nice little story about visiting a VC on Sand Hill Road. If you’ve ever done it, this will have a familiar ring to it.

| 25.04.2000 | A Look at eBooks | Upside takes a good look at the concept of eBooks and points out why it’s different than things like MP3s, and might not be so quick to take off. The fact is most people are just fine with books as they are, and moving to eBooks requires to... |
| 22.03.2000 | Kozmo's IPO | One company that has fascinated me for a few months has been Kozmo, with a fairly low key launch it’s managed to grow rapidly into many home delivery markets in different US cities in the past 3 years. Upside is covering the prospects of an... |

| 11.02.2000 | The Coming Wireless Web | Since I know there’s a lot of interest in wireless these days, I figured I’d post this article from Upside talking about our wireless future. However, since I’m not nearly the expert that some of you readers are on the subject (as if that’s... |
| 21.01.2000 | Websites Don't Build Relationships with Customers | An interesting column talking about the usual sales process where a relationship is necessary before a sale. I think the article makes some sense but misses one huge point: those relationships he talks about are in business-to-business sale... |
| 26.08.1999 | Special Ed for VCs | I’ve asked people in the know, how one becomes a VC. There in no real VC “track”. Most people just fall into it one way or the other. But according to a recent Upside article, there is a VC school of sorts. The program only accepts 10 stude... |
| 22.06.1999 | Salon's IPO Not So Good | With everyone spending plenty of good press time on how idiotic it was for Salon to go public, you still never know what happens when a .com goes public. In this case, though, the press had it right: Salon went down in it’s debut. It will b... |
| 22.06.1999 | RiteAid and GNC Buy Into Drugstore.com | RiteAid and GNC apparently reacted to CVS’s purchase of Soma.com, by buying into Drugstore.com today. So, now Drugstore has a lot of big time backers (how much do they have left to own themselves?), let’s see what they can do with it. |
| 18.06.1999 | Microsoft Ditches Ad Agency | Microsoft has apparently gotten tired of those ridiculous commercials that show every company from which they stole an idea, or the sappy sweet commercials of kids using excel to save the world, and have ditched their ad agency. When a new ... |
| 09.06.1999 | Microsoft Investing in Inprise | I was surprised that many of the articles this morning reporting about Microsoft’s investment in Inprise missed the irony of the situation. Upside, however, begins to touch on it with their article. Inprise, of course, used to be Borland, a... |
| 20.05.1999 | Amazon.com Raising More Money | Amazon is getting set to raise another $2 billion in an expansion effort. Has it occured to anyone that Amazon really isn’t in the business of selling books and stuff online, but really in selling securities? |
| 18.05.1999 | eBay Buys More Companies | eBay has spent a ton of stock money on two more companies. One is an auction site, and the other is an online credit card processing company, which is probably the more interesting of the two. |
