StockTwits TV – Interview with John Borthwick of betaworks

Recently, I sat down with John Borthwick , co founder of Betaworks (wicked cool real-time companies). John and his partner Andy Weissman build things, buy things and they invest in things….bitly and chartbeat , Summize (Twitter $twit search).

We chat about all of the above, managing a fast growing business, chaos, disruption, the early web and of course porn.

  • Ah- so you are the guy who convinced Jenny Holzer to do the web expansion of Truisms. She was using twitter for a while, pity she didn't continue. It is a good medium for her.

    All I have to say to you is the following

    GRASS ROOTS AGITATION IS THE ONLY HOPE
