Saracuda!!
Sarah Lacy, also known as @saracuda on Twitter, is my subject for my profile paper. She is a native Memphian who is now the senior editor for TechCrunch, the largest Web 2.0 blog for tech entrepreneurs. She also wrote two books: Once You’re Lucky, Twice You’re Good: The Rebirth of Silicon Valley and the Rise of Web 2.0 and Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky: How the Top 1% of Entrepreneurs Profit from Global Chaos. Lacy was in Memphis recently for a conference and interview with a top executive at Fedex. I was luck enough to not only get in to the conference but also to get an interview with her for my iReportMemphis Blog! She is quite amazing and very fun to be around. She was also very pregnant upon her arrival to Memphis. I posted the video on Youtube, found here, and she's the best person I can think of in the Web 2.0 world to talk to. I also till have her contact info so I can ask some questions via email and see if she responds.

Well see now I think I want to challenge this a little. She is writing for a HUGE, one might even say, mainstream, tech outlet, plus she has written two books published by major publishers? I'm not sure that just writing about technology makes you niche. I would not say that Chris Anderson is niche, either.
ReplyDeleteI think she is too mainstream in the tech world to really qualify. Can you really argue that she is in the long tail?
