I have been involved in founding or managing a startup, non-stop, in one form or another, for the last 10+ years. I have a background, as a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University in Computer Science and winner of numerous graphics arts awards that has allowed me to be a unifying force of form and function, business and technology, art and process. Another driving force in creating of this blog, one very personal to me, is that when I started out, a great deal of what I hope to pull together and share via the Product Guy Blog, I would have loved to have known and have had access to when I began my journey in the world of start-ups, their products, and venture capital, and hope many of you will embrace these experiences.

theproductguy··on Y Combinator's Versionate is Dead
That article discussing the new company to which the founders of Versionate have gone. That is _not_ an article about Versionate, the company, nor their product. On the Internet, if you do nothing for your product, say nothing about the product or company for almost a year, that is effectively a dead company.

I would recommend taking the time to read the article. If you did read it you would find the entire post to be 100% accurate.

Nice article (I like your style)... it would be better if people referred to semantic web technologies as technologies and facilitators of other applications, not as the abstract, "future" concepts. I address many of these on my blog -- you may find some of my MI topics interesting/applicable.

theproductguy··on Ask YC: Choosing wiki software
I use pbwiki; free personal version; has all the features i need; wysiwyg, data backup, fairly simple UI

I really like versionate -- but it is still missing some critical features -- I am keeping a close eye on it and hope they eventually do the needed upgrades.

This is a topic I frequently discuss on my blog. I think you may be saying something similiar/same when you refer to your concept of hybrid as I state with respect to the trend of Modular Innovation. Check it out and let me know... http://tpgblog.com/2007/12/06/modular-innovation-101/
