I managed a tech fund for 13 years at JP Morgan, most of which time you were running CNET. I've recently co-founded an online database firm which has a heavy media and content syndication component. If you get involved with seed funding, send me an e-mail address and I'll send some details. Best regards.

It just feels like they shipped it way too early.. and it's not the feature regression but the devs' lack of acknowledgement that's got the users in an uproar. Long-time users felt slighted and disenfranchised.</p><p>Meanwhile Whiskey Media replies to blog comments within the hour! You guys rock!</p>DMackThu, 28 Jan 2010 00:12:40 -0000http://www.whiskeymedia.com/we-think-thesixtyones-new-de#comment-31601683<p>Major redesigns take time to work out. I'm sure they'll work out any short-term kinks.</p>Whiskey MediaWed, 27 Jan 2010 19:52:35 -0000http://www.whiskeymedia.com/we-think-thesixtyones-new-de#comment-31575963<p>It _looks_ good, but it doesn't work anymore, unfortunately!</p>DMackWed, 27 Jan 2010 18:08:08 -0000http://www.whiskeymedia.com/2009-in-review-part-1-our-new-people#comment-31331498<p>This gives me hope for the quality of Craigslist's job offers. ;-) <br>Your team looks great, keep up it up!</p>Magdalena GeorgievaMon, 25 Jan 2010 20:56:23 -0000http://www.whiskeymedia.com/weve-raised-a-bit-of-money#comment-29076652<p>Congrats. How does one become one of the great people that you'll hire?</p>BatmanSat, 09 Jan 2010 13:20:19 -0000http://www.whiskeymedia.com/llamanl-we-love-sci-fi-and-wo#comment-27842302<p>We've talked about all the ones that have been mentioned so far, as well as a few others. We've also talked about music, sailing, bar-b-que, outdoor adventure, and fitness as well. For us, building the sites is the easy part. The criteria for us is that they category has smart, web savvy fans where there is either a lack of good social communities or ones where the current leaders are too big and generic.</p><p>Drinking our own Kool-Aid here, but we think the kind of publishing we do is pretty unique so all categories are wide open. We are in the process of finishing off a few more features that enhance our platform, then we are going to start cranking out sites again. Will start in areas where we have a lot of personal interest, as we find that the most fun to work on.</p>Whiskey MediaSat, 02 Jan 2010 15:36:35 -0000http://www.whiskeymedia.com/llamanl-we-love-sci-fi-and-wo#comment-27841683<p>What type of genres and subjects are you looking to possibly expand into? Besides scifi, horror, fantasy, or action? Or how about a cinema, gadget, models, toys, etc...?</p>isaacalexanderSat, 02 Jan 2010 15:19:04 -0000http://www.whiskeymedia.com/llamanl-we-love-sci-fi-and-wo#comment-27839577<p>Thanks Jim.

Will ping you guys once we have something for you to look at to get feedback. Thanks again for the comments.</p>Whiskey MediaFri, 01 Jan 2010 11:17:41 -0000http://www.whiskeymedia.com/llamanl-we-love-sci-fi-and-wo#comment-27725478<p>Sci-Fi sites tend to try to be everything to everyone or so niche that they fail to speak to a large enough audience or fall trap to copyright issues. I prefer Niche over mass communication of that 15 second video from an upcoming movie.</p><p>Sci-fi can be broken down into three categories publications (books, comics and the written word), movie (based on distribution model) and alternative media (games).</p><p>What would be really cool is having a sci-fi "Time Bubble" which would be a directory of science fiction content based on the timeline of the story while allowing for niche groups within the site for creating user created content.</p>BrianFri, 01 Jan 2010 01:50:41 -0000http://www.whiskeymedia.com/llamanl-we-love-sci-fi-and-wo#comment-27688597<p>OK i didn't expect to hit the front page so quickly... Have a look at IO9 and their pro-feminine message or any other site and their Star Wars over everything. Anyways, time for some festivities, perhaps i'll have more to say when I'm sober again. Happy New Year!</p>LlamaThu, 31 Dec 2009 17:08:04 -0000http://www.whiskeymedia.com/llamanl-we-love-sci-fi-and-wo#comment-27679327<p>What about a toy collecting site?</p>SteveThu, 31 Dec 2009 15:43:39 -0000http://www.whiskeymedia.com/2009-in-review-part-1-our-new-people#comment-27675801<p>Lian, we couldn't agree more!

While I'm grateful for every Whiskey Media staff member like Daniel, Kent and Mike, the two awesome additions to GB and CV in Sara and Drew have been perfect choices and are both great to watch on-screen as well as what I'm sure has been a big improvement to all things Whiskey behind the scenes too.</p><p>Keep it up!<br>Liam 'FLStyle' Brown</p>FLStyleThu, 31 Dec 2009 13:32:27 -0000http://www.whiskeymedia.com/happy-holidays#comment-27221983<p>Wohoo!
