MyWire!


The business I'm in requires a great deal of patience. Although it may seem to be an immediate-gratification industry, the wild.world.web in fact imposes severe constraints on anyone trying to create something new and intriguing.

Sure, you can create a micro-site, or a blog like this one, on the fly. But to build a content service that may eventually compete with the behemoths of the web (Yahoo, Google, MSN) is a dicey matter. It requires teamwork, vision, coordination of multiple skill sets, and the relentless drive of entrepreneurs who refuse to give up, regardless of the odds.

Almost as if we were insane.

For the last 19 months and five days, I've been working with a group of people in Silicon Valley to create just such a service, and today, at around 3:09 pm, our baby was born. Please visit the newly-launched MyWire and, if you have a moment, let me know what you think.

Thank you!
