Oracle Hires Former HP CEO Mark Hurd As Co-President

TechFully — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 03:39:57 +0000

Oracle has confirmed that former Hewlett-Packard CEO Mark Hurd has found a cushy place to land after one of the year’s messiest tech scandals. Hurd will be joining the company as Co-President alongside Oracle CEO and close friend Larry Ellison.

This comes as no surprise if you believed yesterday’s rumors of Hurd’s hire or took note of the fact that Ellison came to his defense during the controversy over allegations of harassment by former HP contractor Jodie Fisher.

WITN?: Can India Succeed in Exporting Mobile Services Like It Did with Bollywood? (TCTV)

TechFully — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 22:38:36 +0000

We’re not going to lie to you—this video may feature the world’s worst Skype connection. And that was after 45 minutes of trouble-shooting. While we have no problems connecting to entrepreneurs in Russia or Kenya, apparently London is the land that Skype forgot, which is pretty ironic given it was funded there.

But such old-world telecom connections are the new reality for Monty Munford who moved from uber-telecom connected India back to the UK last month. Munford has worked in two if the industries where India has outdone many other countries: Mobile and Bollywood. (See him above getting pampered.)

As we discussed a few weeks ago with mobile in Kenya – and as Munford wrote in his guest post on Somaliland yesterday – India is one of many countries trying to export what it has done well to Africa. Is Bollywood the model?

Super Angel/VC Smackdown: Why the Hate? (TCTV)

TechFully — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 17:40:36 +0000

Watching the battle of words, blog posts, term sheets and Tweets unfold over the last few weeks between VCs and Super Angels has been a little surreal. I’ve spent a career convincing editors that the internal workings of Venture Capital are more interesting than they sound, but even I can’t muster the passion to declare convertible debt AWESOME while equity TOTALLY SUCKS.

Clearly, this cultural explosion of tension is about more than just terms and who does what deal. After all, in theory, both these group need each other to thrive.

Rather than commission yet another guest post on the subject, we figured let’s just invite Super Angel rabble-rouser David McClure and early stage VC defender David Hornik into the studio for a no-holds-barred Smackdown. This is a five-part series tackling five wedge issues of the debate, and we’ll post one every day this week– consider it a primer on what you missed if you took August off, Mr. Old School VC.

Today’s topic: Why the hate? Don’t you two need each other?

As always when Dave McClure is involved, the language is NSFW. There, you’ve been warned.

Overblog and Wikio Just Married. Pregnant with a European Google News for Blogs.

TechFully — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 12:38:57 +0000

A trusted source has confirmed that French-blogging platform, Overblog, will soon be part of the Wikio family. Rumor has it that the growing Luxembourg-based news portal is apparently trying to develop European Google News for blogs.

For anyone who isn’t familiar with Wikio, all you really have to know is that it’s a news portal founded by Pierre Chappaz in 2005 after his previous company, Kelkoo, was acquired by Yahoo in 2004 for some 475 million euros. For acquisitions à la Française, that’s not too shabby.
