great stuff and thanks for sharing Dennis. here's a deeper dive into other investment vehicles for travel + hospitality (including notable angels and operators, institutional funds, corporate funds as well as incubators and accelerators): http://datainsightsideas.co...

from a founder POV, it's additive to one of your earlier posts this year focused on the "super angels" in travel: http://skift.com/2013/04/10...

Nice post Adam. My concerns, if I was a content creator, would be fairly simple: where can I get the most distribution for what I produce? In a way, it's a two-sided experience. A service like SoundCloud would be the *de facto* place where I'd publish my music since it's got a dense audience for certain genres (i.e. EDM). But I wouldn't put up my songs to a destination site with little traffic - I want my content to go where the eyeballs go. But SoundCloud can't get a loyal following of EDM fans if the long-tail creators start moving elsewhere. There should be a high switching cost associated with the service.

Yes, middleware piping, i.e. Gumroad, really does help the content creator make money no matter what destination experience she publishes too, but I wonder: something's gotta give on the explosion of these new destination these new long-tail sites. Maybe a Kayak for long-tail could be the solution?

excellent analysis charlie. really dead on with this perspective here: "From my perspective, I believe those two conditions to be true, such that the marginal dollar allocated toward marketing generates substantially higher ROI than the marginal dollar allocated to talent."

Re: How to Get a Job Interview Tomorrow with Facebook Ads

Great post Sam and thanks for shedding light on this!

My favorite line: "The most important part of this campaign is your landing page. This is where potential employers that click your ad will be directed. Do not simply send employers to your LinkedIn, or Visual CV page. Great advertising for a product with a terrible presentation does not lead to any sales."

I saw this change of direction a few months ago after the CSS of their email changed colors from the hard black/red to the softer greens - all of a sudden I saw a switch to the family space. Deals that were aggregated by them started to diminish each day, with very few showing up in the email.

Interested to see how things pan out.

Hopefully David and team will add that functionality soon to the rest of the Tumblogs. I do believe that this may be included in the pro feature set slated for release this summer.
