  • Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good

    Kevin Rose takes up 62 out of 294 pages in Sarah Lacy's Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good, her new book about Web 2.0. That's less than I expected, since Rose was the coverboy for the BusinessWeek story, co-written by Lacy, which launched her book. From the look of the index, not much time is spent on the women Rose is said to have "plowed through", as his friend Alex Albrecht once put it:

    Previously:

    • A is for Adelson, who cofounded Digg
    • B is for Botha, who sold YouTube big
    • F is for Fitzpatrick, and "hookers and blow"
    • L is for Levchin, who never goes slow
    • P is for Parker, the Valley's bad boy
