Today, Seesmic, the company founded by Loic Lemeur, announced their initial $6 million funding. Several people noticed that my name isn't on the list of investors.  I'll probably end up kicking myself when Seesmic becomes the next Google or YouTube. I remain a fan of the company and Loic and his team and will be rooting for them.  Why did I get cold feet? It has nothing to do with the product or the company, both of which appear to be outstanding. It's the stock market. I had to make the final Seesmic decision as I was getting out of stock, at a significant loss. The only stock I hold now is AAPL, and sadly, it's way under the price I paid for it a few months ago. Like a lot of other investors, right now stocks give me the willies. I will likely get back in, slowly, a little bit every week to average out the price, hoping the market has found a bottom.

Americans know a good deal when they see it. Today a group of  leading scientists and practitioners from several fields -- agriculture,  medicine, economics, education, engineering -- is making a proposal to  the world. If  rich and poor countries will follow through on the promises  they have made over the past five years  to fight extreme poverty and disease -- and rely on the best science and technology in doing  so -- the world can save millions of lives and extricate hundreds of millions of  its poorest people from the trap of extreme poverty. The cost is a mere 50 cents out of every $100 of rich-world income in the coming decade.
