tl;dr:
A $5,000 ticket to Web 2.0 Summit 2011 includes MC Hammer pitching his new web service.
I honestly don't feel too bad for anyone who thought it was a good idea to shell out $5,000 to attend a Web 2.0 "Summit". Also, I'm pretty sure it's "Hammer" now, and didn't we all know that Hammer sold out when he dropped the MC anyway?
Success, n., the period of time that follows after which everyone has told you that you are wrong and happens concurrently with you laughing all the way to the bank.
Tara "Tiger" Brown's public resume shows her earliest professional employment was in 1997, with her first role at a technology "company" in 2000.
In 2001 I had a lunch meeting in downtown Los Gatos with John Frank, a sales guy from Spacedisk (now Accellion) - he'd just gotten off a plane from LA where a number of large tech/media tradeshows (Comdex? CES? idk) had just concluded. He spent a couple minutes raving about how awesome Midwest Airlines was, then pulled a business card out of his wallet and proceeded to spend the next hour telling me how he'd sat on the plane next to MC Hammer and had an absolutely fascinating conversation with him.
Hammer was both representing his own projects and providing general insight on media and technology to large technology-focused audiences in 2001. As an entrepreneur. A tech entrepreneur. While Tara was just getting settled in at Microsoft.

Listen MC Hammer, this girl knows what she's talking about. She writes for FORBES.COM. A website that requires you to click "continue" or "Page 2" to read the last paragraph of the post. This is only after you wait 30 seconds for the ad-wall to go down. You should probably listen to her...
Isn't an open letter something you write when there's some matter of community concern? This is just some tech journalist taking a shot at Hammer's search attempt with a heavy dose of condescension.
Wha? You talking to me? I live in some kind of crazy reality where... I've given-up trying to understand. I just go-off randomly. fuck it.
You talking about God, thinking search technology? Crack a book you've never read open randomly after praising God, then you will be enlightened.

Something which every entrepreneur is told, often, until they are successful.

Also John, if you're out there, sup! :)
