Startup Idea #59: dot-com IKEA assembly

ndouglas — Thu, 02 Feb 2006 15:09:41 EST

Community site publisher Bryght happened to get a web-geek IKEA installer at their Vancouver office. This guy explains how he built his site, AssembleNow.com, in twenty-five minutes and got his first customer in a half hour. What a quick startup time. Granted, a furniture assembly gig isn't prime VC material, but someone should bring this guy to the Valley, where every client is an office full of Web 2.0 guys too lazy to build a bookcase.

Craig and Kornbluth up the cuteness ante

Too adorable! Josh Kornbluth of KQED interviews Craig Newmark, and it's like watching two nerdy teddy bears have a conversation. Even an interruption by a clip of Josh with bunnies can't outcute Mr. Craigslist.

Nerds on TV: Larry and Sergey talk to ABC News

ABC News forced Larry Page and Sergey Brin to sit and talk with dippy "World News Tonight" anchor Bob Woodruff. The get-drunk-quick drinking game: every time Larry's face freezes, take a shot.

Other highlights:

Bob comments on the amenities of the Googleplex. "You never have to go home when you've got all this." Larry flexes his eyebrows as if to say "I don't have to go home for sex, Bob."

Bob asks, "What do you want to do with all this money?" Sergey goes off on how he won't live the high life; Larry licks his lips and shifts in his seat. This boy's gonna cause some trouble.

A Bill Gates clip shows, apparently, Bill giving a puppet show.

Larry drinks some water — WHILE SERGEY IS TALKING. Best. Ventriloquist. Ever. These guys should tour.
