Internet tycoons and hedge funds

It's an interesting cross-over between technology tycoons and hedge fund managers, and one that I think is difficult to put into words. I'm still learning about the blend between the two groups, as I find myself more and more interested in social media and its implications, yet remain firmly embedded in the hedge fund financial technology world. We're getting great input from potential investors to move SkyRank to the next level which will be a completely new direction and revenue model. Tomorrow I'm spending the evening socializing with what will likely be, from my past experience, a very interesting group of people who are working in social media, at the #140 conference in NYC run by Jeff Pulver. Let me put it simply: it's just a lot more interesting to me to be on the cutting edge of technology, especially now, with social media bringing people together, rather than sitting behind a computer finding inefficiencies of various markets. So, how to blend the power of social media with owning a massive hedge fund database and comprehensive hedge fund rating? We're putting together some good ideas in this space and it's quite exciting to be moving in this direction.
