I recently interviewed Sarah Lacy, BusinessWeek reporter, Tech Ticker host and author of the book "Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good: The Rebirth of Silicon Valley and Rise of Web 2.0" (scheduled for release tomorrow).
Sarah and I had an in-depth conversation about her new book, life in Silicon Valley, Twitter, her infamous SXSW interview, and much more.
This article is part 1 in a series.
You have a new book coming out, could you tell us more about it?
The book is called "Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good: The Rebirth of Silicon Valley and Rise of Web 2.0". While it's about Silicon Valley, it's really written for people outside Silicon Valley who heard all about the dotcom bubble, heard all about the bust and then heard nothing about Internet companies for a long time. Then out of no where we started hearing about MySpace, YouTube and Facebook, a lot of these modern Web 2.0 companies. And there were a lot of misunderstandings about what this wave of companies meant. There were a lot of stories saying it's like 1999 again, but it couldn't be farther than 1999 again...
