  • Mashable's Pete Cashmore seen through Lisa Bettany's eyes

    I think I am on a Lisa Bettany kick this afternoon. I just watched this brief video profile of Pete Cashmore when he was in San Francisco recently for a Mashable event around the time of Google I/O.

It is a powerful speech worth watching/reading regardless of whether you agree with him or not. His speech was inspired by a meeting he had about 25 years ago as the Israeli ambassador to the…

  • Off to the 27 Dinner with some geeks tonight

    We’re heading off to the 27 Dinner tonight like half of Joburg geekdom. I’m looking forward to it partly because we are going to hear from Justin Spratt and Google’s new country manager, Stephen Newton (please no Google PR speak??!).
