'Once You’re Lucky, Twice You’re Good,' - Sarah Lacy - NYTimes Review

I dunno. The parts I am mentioned in are in the neighborhood but factually incorrect; a bunch of things are the exact opposite of the truth. And she calls me Josh. Ugh.

All I can speak on is the digg stuff, but it reads like it was dictated to her by Digg PR. And in fact the only person, other than Jay and Kevin, who manages to get in a digg picture (there's some digg employees in a equinix-related photo) is a PR person.

The funny thing is is that if the GOOG acquisition had went through, and Kevin's stake was (as conjectured) 30%, he would have made exactly the sum the article she wrote predicted.

Sounds like a sensationalist gossipy version of Founders at Work. I'll skip it and wait for FAW2.

For what its worth, I read the book and thought it was fantastic. Sure, there may be some artistic interpretation of the actual truth, but it was extremely motivating for me as an entrepreneur, thats for damn sure. The main takeaway I got apart from the importance of great mentors/friendors? That these guys worked their asses off to get where they are. Luck may be a small part of it, but pure perservernce is what saw them through.

Anyway, I thought it was a great read. Would recommend it, although with a pinch of salt since we have first-hand knowledge of some inaccuracies (see Joshua's comments above).

Judging by this review it appears Lacy did a fantastic job writing about life in a land of koolaid. To that effect, it may be worth a read....

Is this the girl that gave that really embarrassing interview with Mark Zuckerberg?

its funny that the published date on this article is Jul 27th.. I thought today is 26th!!
