My Use of Facebook Groups: IA Capital Partners and Information Arbitrage

I have done a woeful job using these groups to stimulate discussion. I tossed out a few questions early on, generated some interesting dialog, and then stopped. Stupid. Sorry about that. So here is my pledge. I will use best efforts going forward to do the following:

  • IA Capital Partners Facebook group: Pose questions and offer commentary around what I am actually seeing in early-stage deal land, a land where I am very active and seeing a lot of stuff. I'll share ideas, trends, themes and memes, and would love group members to share their perspectives as well.
  • Information Arbitrage Facebook group: Raise thematic questions and issues of interest to me around Wall Street and technology, and generate a hopefully vibrant discussion around these issues.

I'd also love it if group members started question and theme threads of their own around the concepts and meanings of these groups. I think Facebook groups can be a very powerful medium for an active, multi-threaded conversation. I just feel like I haven't done my part to foment an active dialog. My bad. I'll try to do better.
