 Aside from demonstrating the way the web can be used to effectively support

 traditional media programs, it's a pretty good guide for those taking their

 first steps on this whole new media startup thang.

If that's the In Business NetNanny show it was really helpful. However, as a

friend said to me tonight it's still hard raising money for an Internet

business unless you are the son / daughter of someone alrready in the

finance

loop !


Another thing that is beconming more apparent are the 'time wasters who

'pretend' to be VC's or may have other motives. There are some real Walter

Mitty characters out there. I've met a few recently at FT and elsewhere.

One

owner of what he hopes is an honest 'angel' on-line service has suggested a

list be compiled.  If anyone wants to share details they are very willing to

mail me ( off list please ) with names, where met, how they seem to

operate.....


All sources treated in strict confidence. Just make sure you don't

accidentally reply to the list ;)
