Friday. Love.

This week we share our affection for the new book from author Neil Gaiman, "Hearts, Keys, and Puppetry", written by Neil and 124 Twitterers. Literary crowdsourcing another hallmark for 2009. Love it. (Great example of aggregation, contextualization and editing.)

This Friday, we love venture capitalists. (We've been talking to and meeting with a few lately.) So we'd like to share a little love for Fred Wilson, who has sparked a debate about whether NYC has an "inferiority complex" as a venue for startups. We'd love to see NYC become a technology center again. Let's get some love going for Silicon Alley 2.0.

Friday. Love.

It's Friday! And while we're not sure about "green shoots" on Wall Street, we certainly see them on the Internet. Here are a few we love:

• Alice—Running your home just got a little easier.
• Oyster—See the truth before you travel.
• Cookstr—The best recipes on the web.

It's Friday. You know what that means: Love. This week, no links—just a quick note to dad, in honor of Father's Day on Sunday. Have a great weekend!

Here’s to you dad. Just wanted to say thanks for everything and then some. Like thanks for not getting too mad and being supportive when I wrecked that (Mustang, bicycle, golf cart) and for only scaring my (prom date, baseball coach, algebra teacher) just that one time. Thanks for teaching me how to (tie a four-in-hand, mix a martini, make pancakes) and reminding me that (mowing the lawn, cleaning out the garage, stacking cordwood) would make me a better person. To this day, the smell of (Brut, single-malt scotch, pipe tobacco) reminds of you and everything you told me would be important someday. Thanks for everything dad. It’s your day on Sunday and I simply wanted to wish you the best!

Friday. Love.
