U.S. based adoption of wireless text messaging is way behind Japan, Korea, and Europe (assuming we're going the same place, of course). Now the Boston Globe says that it may be starting to move here, building on the youth market. Maybe, but I still notice that most of the story is based on vendor-side 'push' flack, and I have an abiding faith in the ability of U.S. carriers to cock up a good thing in the quest for bigger ARPUs right now. Let's see them start publishing their sub numbers like J-Phone and DoCoMo, eh?

He is founder of the eponymous software company which created Cold Fusion, and was a development partner of engineering groups managed by myself and fellow VC Bruce MacNaughton during our CompuServe days. Allaire and Cold Fusion were acquired by Macromedia in early 2001. Now two years on (and presumably fully vested and out of his lockups) he's leaving Macromedia to become EIR at a Boston area VC firm. Welcome to the investor side of the table, Jeremy, and I hope the next thing is as cool as the last.
