Comments on: Internet Week New York: Men in expensive suits and women in, um, very little

A night out at the exclusive, buttoned-up Founders Club event and the much more raucous CollegeHumor "Hottest College Girl in America" party. Welcome to New York.

Ok, Carolyn, but for the guys out here you could have included more photos of "America's Hottest College Girl ". At least let us know where she'll be teaching--I'd go back to school smiling :)

FYI, News Corp exec would be Jeremy *Philips*, I believe... Jeremy Stoppelman is CEO at Yelp, and my fellow ex-PayPal colleague & sometime Mafioso.

RE: Alison

Long live the Bimbocracy. Parents should be grateful that their impressionable teenagers daughters will have such a wonderful role model (NOT).

I went to a lot of parties and it seemed like the scene was divided up into "suits" (money/advertising people), tech folks (very casual), and party girls who just seemed to show up. I did lots of mingling but found it cliquish (like any bar scene). People seem to hang out with the people they already knew/worked with.

Thank god for cute bartenders...they are chatty and tell you what's really going on behind the scene with the organizers of the events. Worth every tip I spent.

If you were still in college, you would have beaten her :)

Perhaps someone should point out to you that the girl behind Alison and to the left made the dress Alison is wearing. Just for this event, too.

Web sites launch all the time, but they also shut their doors. We highlight 15 that bit the dust this year.

Top 10 news stories of the decade

Let the debate begin: Was the iPhone more important than iTunes? Was anything bigger than Google finding a great business model? CNET offers its list of the 10 most important stories of the '00s.
