I am a sucker for entrepreneurship-oriented reality shows. Start-Up Junkies Season 1 is about the evolution of a Seattle-based startup, Earth Class Mail. Accordingly, there are lots of familiar names, sites, experiences, etc. You can watch it for free on Hulu.
In Episode 2, they mention how Ignition Partners had cold feet but eventually participated (to the tune of $6M) in the $16M round.
As for the idea itself, I think they have the same problem as Netflix. Just as DVDs will eventually be replaced by streaming video, most mail-based communication will be (is already being) replaced by digital communication.
Unrelated note: Ron, the CEO, is a CMU CS/ECE grad.
Just started watching this last night. Dunno if you've seen this, but it's really been interesting so far...i'm about 4 episodes in.
Seems too bad there are only 8. Some of the editing is a bit cheesy, but I think overall it's well done.
let me know what you think.

Google's Calendar widget builder. Support for multiple calendars to display, and some style options. This always results in a single iframe tag to embed on your site.
It seems odd that the builder has to sent size information to the embedded iframe url. Why is this not just rendered on the client where it has access to it's frame size?

I love this series! It's fun to see recognizable buildings and institutions in Seattle. The venture team was really cool to film this while everything else was going on.
