About

This is a blog with occasional postings from John Borthwick.    I work in the technology, communications and media space — as an entrepreneur, a builder and an investor.    My interests are in building great companies and in understanding about how media evolves as it collides with real time conversations.     This blog contains occasional thoughts, mostly on the theme of participatory, real time media. I like to write to organize my thinking on a particular issue.   This blog is often a repository for that thinking.   Thus the name and the sporadic attention.    My twitter or tumblr stream are more reflective of day to day thoughts.

Im CEO and co-founder of betaworks the companies I am working with are listed on the betaworks site.     Prior to launching betaworks I was CEO of Fotolog, and prior to that I was Snr. VP of Technology and Alliances at Time Warner.      I arrived at Time Warner — AOL — in early 1997 when they acquired the company I had started back in 1994.    That company was WP Studio, producer of three sites: Total New York (one of the first local city guides, now gone), äda ‘web and spanker (a pre blog, daily journal of the occasionally twisted mind of Carter Adamson).

I also sit on the board and/or act as an adviser to: Center for Independent Media, RRE, Coburn Ventures, Rhizome and HRW.
