After taking a break from Pho last week with a Dot Com Nando’s edition, the Dot Com crew went back to Pho Vancouver to meet the famous Brian Wong. Brian is so famous that nearly every Web 2.0 company wants to head hunt him. He recently accepted a position at Digg.com and he knows exactly how to get on the front page every time!
Brian is the kind of guy that just mesmerizes a room. He was the last to show but he took center stage as he talked about social media and his new top secret iPhone app. However, for all his sheer genius, Brian wasn’t smart enough to get his own name for his domain or Twitter account. That’s what happens when you’re famous. Squatter will try to steal your name. Hopefully, Brian will unleash the Digg lawyers on those squatters.
In addition to the famous Brian Wong, this edition of Dot Com Pho includes iPhone Gary’s first anniversary, I am not Tiger Woods, men with commitment problems, really small bowls of Pho and an iPhone app of the week that is so top secret, we can only tease you with it. Anyone is welcome to join us for Dot Com Pho. Follow me on Twitter to find the time and location of the next one.
