Okay book. Not a lot of substance. But a few key insights.

Since John Battelle's "The Search," I haven't had such a good read about people that make web technologies happen. But his book was very focused on a single technology, while Sarah Lacy has chosen to deal with a whole period in Silicon Valley's history: the emergence and glory days of Web 2.0 (arguably those days are not over yet).

Sarah has a provocative style, she knows what she is talking about and she knows the folks that play the game. Her writing flows like the words in her columns, which she has been writing for nearly ten years now. In the course of the book, she carefully weaves a tale that lets the reader see where all the pieces fall: where each Web 2.0 entrepreneur (or "nontrepreneur" as she refers to Blogger's and Twitter's Evan Williams) connects with the next one and where did he get the inspiration (or the funding) from to pursue the next big thing.

Throughout the book's eleven chapters, I found myself referring back to a very useful diagram that she included in the beginning, which shows at a very top level companies and people, showing who was founder, investor and employee of which.

You do not need to be a geek to enjoy the book, but you will if you are. You certainly do not have to live in Silicon Valley to know what she is talking about, but you will get a kick out of local references if you live or work in the stretch of 101 between San Francisco and San Jose. You do not need to be a web entrepreneur to want to devour the book, but if you are, you will find yourself flipping through the pages in search of yet more interesting and passionate anecdotes from the people that made Web 2.0 what it is today.

Sarah Lacy's book is a must read for anyone using the social web today: in case you didn't realize it, that means every one of us!

It was "okay". It mostly talked about Paypal, Facebook, Digg and alittle about Blogger > Twitter. Some stuff were pretty informative, but it was (insert nice word for fluff here) overall. I already know alot about PP and FB (who doesn't?) but I did not know that the founder of Blogger sold to Google for $10 million in stocks and cashed out for around $50 million. I also did not know that the Blogger Founder started Twitter. Makes sense I suppose. Is it worth reading? Maybe if you're not from Silicon Valley or don't know much about Web 2.0.

Some things were alittle shady - how Zuck, 20, met an important person before he moved to the Valley. How did he meet this tech person who didn't go to Harvard? There are some gaps.

Lacy seems an admirable person, but given her lack of credibility over her article on Kevin Rose in Business Week last year and her disastrous interview w/Zuck at SXSW doesn't make this a sound book based on true facts, but based on assumptions and rumors. Most of this stuff could probably be found on Wikipedia if you look up the companies and founders. Save the money or wait till I donate this book at the local library near you.

Sarah has a way of telling a great story and relaying good information at the same time

My Twitter review: Zuck is Steve Jobs 2.0, Ning sucks, Slide is boring, Digg missed the boat, and the book was a "meh".

I wanted to like this book, I really did.

Having lived in Silicon Valley from 1999-2003, I identified with the sense of what was old would be new, and that true innovation trumps luck any day.

The book was a somewhat okay account of some of the newer darling dandies of the web (Digg, Facebook) but then droned on about Marc Andreessen and Jim Clark getting lucky with Netscape, then trying (trying!) to reproduce that same magic again with limited success.

This book is okay...I felt it got boring midway through, and then rehashed a bit too much.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Although it's becoming a little dated (talking about services or trends that are long gone) but the how/why of some of the key people in silicon valley is great to read!

This is the third book I read about tech entrepreneurs. In fact it is the fourth if I include Inside Steve's Brain (but this one is about a single entrepreneur). The two previous ones were interviews of many, i.e. Betting it all and Founders at Work. The beauty (and at same time weakness) of Once you're lucky, Twice you're good is that is is about web2.0. Is this new step in the Internet development a speculative bubble or a speculative revolution. It is probably too early to say even if author Tracy Lacy (appearing in another post) is quite convinced it is a revolution.

It is a beautiful book because it shows once again the richness of individual connections. I have my own illustration of it in a blog, [...]. Paypal and its founders appear to be at the center of this network. Fairchild had such a similar situation at the beginning of Silicon Valley in the sixties, Apple, Sun, Cisco thereafter.

Another interesting element is about investors. There has been a popular idea that web2.0 was not funded by venture capitalists anymore because the web2.0 business angels who were web1.0 entrepreneurs had learnt their lesson. The situation is more complex as the web2.0 financing shows. Greylock, CRV, Accel but also Benchmark and Sequoia are vey active. Finally, it shows again and again what entrepreneurs are, i.e. passionate, driven individuals and I can only advise reading the epilogue about Levchin's childhood. Quite fascinating...

a great book on what's happening in the Web 2.0 space in Sillicon Valley. why bubbles happened and will happen again in the valley, why LinkedIn.com could become one of the first stand-alone $ 1bn plus companies to come out of the Web 2.0, who launched three billion-dollar-plus companies, how cheap starting a Web business became in just a few years and in great detail about the Zuckerberg phenomenon. while the stories are heavily skewed towards well-known Web 2.0 names, it's a great read for anyone who wants to know what's happening in the Web 2.0 space in Sillicon Valley ... and L.A. ;-)
