FarCon NYC

We are officially 10 weeks out 🙂

One thing I loved about last year's FarCon was how much it embraced and captured SoCal/LA vibes - an indoor/outdoor venue, steps away from one of the most iconic beaches in CA, incorporating local restaurants for lunch, color palette/branding, etc. 

It felt like "LA's love letter to Farcaster" ...which made me think a lot about what the New York version of FarCon LA could be.  Last fall, I started crowdsourcing some ideas over dinner about what "bringing New York to Farcaster" could look like (h/t @yb @rubinovitz @dylsteck.eth @zinger).  What we are planning with our partners has already far exceeded my expectations and has made me love this city and community even more -- we can't wait to share it with all of you!!!

(Also part of being a New Yorker is (slightly obnoxiously) thinking New York is the center of the universe so thanks in advance for indulging us for just one weekend 🗽)

Silicon Valley Daily

Reddit at $30B was not on my bingo card.

1. While traditionally their ad product was bad, they have been smart in leaning into the "[query] reddit" organic behavior. Other than Google and Amazon, one of the few at-scale websites that have consumer intent. Very good for ads.

2. LLMs are massively transformative for their business: a) data licensing to all the major players b) automatic translation for UGC advice / recommendations (see "[query] reddit").

3. No meaningful competition from feed-based social networks. Missed opportunity for Quora.
