We’re long past the days when you can pickup the phone and ask the operator to connect you to “Pennsyvania 6-5000″. However, the Internet is starting to feel old in that way – we’re running out of addresses for the Internet Protocol Version 4 – yes, those numbers like 192.168.1.1 that one encounters when setting up a home network. In 700 days there won’t be anymore – so we need to move to IP version 6. This move has analogies in the Digital TV transition and the addition of area codes to the phone network a few years ago.
There are big blocks of these numbers that ISPs like AT&T... Read More

I’ve written about my days at Andersen Worldwide and my growing appreciation for the exposure I had to leading ideas and the people who share them. One of them was Victor Millar, one of the firm’s leaders at that time. First as his presentation producer [got his slides through the audiovisual department] and then as his junior speechwriter, I got exposed to a lot of good stuff. One of the concepts was what I called his ages — the progression he took you through on the way to the Information Age and what it would mean for business. As a result, I have a... Read More
Our Network Age Briefings series is going on hiatus for the next two weeks. It’s the end of August, so lots of people are on vacation. We’ll resume after Labor Day. The Briefings have generated terrific momentum so far. We’ve had great conversations recently on The Real-Time Web, Disconnecting, and Apple & the FCC. Archives of the audio are available. We welcome your further comments on these sessions.
Our next call, currently scheduled for Wednesday, September 9, at 4pm PT / 7pm ET, will focus on China in the Network Age. Note the special date and time. We’ll have guests live on the line from Beijing. ... Read More

This month, we’re announcing a new weekly teleconference series — Supernova NetworkAge Briefings. On these free, open calls, frank discussion is encouraged (and civil disagreement is embraced). As a follow up to his recent interviews with Clay Shirky and Andrew Keen, Howard Greenstein will moderate the first one-hour Briefing on Thursday, August 6, 11am PST/2pm EST, featuring Andrew Keen (“The Cult of the Amateur”) and Erick Schonfeld (Co-Editor, TechCrunch).
The topic: The “Real Time Web” has worsened information overload. Many agree that information flowing across our news, email, Facebook, Twitter and other flows needs to be curated or filtered. But,... Read More
We’re delighted to launch our first 2009 Supernova Mixer event at Wharton Ι SF Campus on Tuesday, August 11, 5:30pm – 7:30pm.
We invite you to join a lively conversation with Deloitte’s John Hagel and John Seely Brown on The Shift Index — a major new effort to track the real impacts of what we call the Network Age. In their initial report, they address why most companies fail to harness “Real Time Web” connected knowledge flows for competitive advantage; Return on Assets of US firms is falling even as productivity increases; the gap between winners and losers in business keeps growing, and big companies are losing their leadership...

Yesterday, about 600 Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, VCs, and social media geeks piled into the historic Fox Theatre in Redwood City for the 4th annual TechCrunch CrunchUp. Instead of turning off our cellphones and keeping it dark and quiet, we filled the room with the blue glow of laptop screens and the rainstorm sound of typing. And instead of sitting back for a summer blockbuster movie, we watched Robert Scoble on the big screen, video streaming live from England. (Well, okay, there were other panels and presentations, too.)
The topic of the day was Real-Time Streams, and it focused on the usual suspects: Twitter, Facebook, Twitter, Friendfeed,... Read More
