Jordan says you're a commie if you don't drop a link to that flickr set.

You are kidding, right? Because [www2.oprah.com]

If they get funding then I'm going to pursue my life's ambition, which is to put Facebook on the web.

@WagCurious: I think what they mean is a video version of Oprah on the web. With them as Oprah. And Tom Cruise on a couch.

We've been describing it as an internet version of The View. ;)

@Julia Allison: aren't the older women already doing this, and with a ridiculous name?
[www.wowowow.com]

@Julia Allison: Who's going to be your conservative ingenue?

@narnio: "Question of the Day: If Senators Clinton, Obama and McCain were cars -- what would they be?"

Exceptional.

@JA

Yes, but internet version of view is so yesterday..true the gender demographics among both pc internet and mobile internet are somewhat in female favor with 80% combined..on 2 billion potential viewers..

How is the relationship building in start ups not being covered? What techniques and skill sight the female gender have that play towards getting that story out?

funtrepreneurs.

@Ted Dziuba: :)

I'd stick to manhunting or cancel it. Most VC firms aren't interested in investing under a million and I would be hard pressed (sorry girls, no offense intended) that they'd get that. Second, very few VC firms in the valley invest in this kind of thing. You also shouldn't need to raise a round to create a show. You don't see the rest of the girl entrepreneurs spending the money to parade themselves around the valley for a reason. :)

Funny, I'm advising on one of the companies listed by a commenter here :)

Well.. they have a lot of fans.. so probably wouldn't find it hard getting free geeks for runners.

Probably get a lot of viewers as well......but they should stay away from the oprah brady bunch kinda show.

Make it more like Jeremy Kyle.

@Julia Allison: I hope your tagline is something along the lines of your blog post: "I stand for the idea that women don't have to be one-dimensional"

Also, I wish you guys (VW) would post more photos of hot *men* in their swim trunks or looking cute or whatever, even if they are just tangentially related to tech gossip. If I wanted to see a thin girl in a bikini, I'd sit in front of a mirror.

Patricia is exactly right - what do you need the VC funding for, Julia? Grab a video camera and start doing it. Build an audience, improve the show by trial and error, and at some point grab a sales person for ads.

Maybe Ali G can accompany them as well.

if they get money from silicon valley VC's, then I'm moving out of the valley because all my faith is lost. That or I need to hire some hot slut to make "presentations" behind closed doors.

Or, TechCrunch will use its super powers of connections to make this happen. Trust.

@michaellamb, lol.

This idea is targeted at women. I think the question of its success would be: will these girls be appealing to their target audience?

@brechtgirl: beyond myself I don't believe there are very many guys who look good in swim trunks who are even tangentially related to technology. Long days of sitting in front of a computer under artificial light doesn't help the waist line or the tan line.

@brechtgirl: We'd do that if we had the images. Send what you've got.

@OnYourEnemiesList: Tone those thighs

unless the vc's that they visit still thinks its 1999. i doubt this idea will fly...

the internet version of the view... is it just me.. or are the internet users and watchers of the view fairly mutually exclusive groups.

re @brechtgirl's comment @Julia "I hope your tagline is something along the lines of your blog post: "I stand for the idea that women don't have to be one-dimensional""

I think we're past having to prove that women are one-dimensional, yes? And your blog is a lot about going to fashion shows and shopping...maybe you're needing to prove to yourself that *you* aren't one dimensional, but I'm not sure the rest of the women on the web are similarly concerned?

@shareme:
Agreed. This sounds like a disaster so far.

Also, not so sure this particular roundup of girls would appear to a target market for women online either, unless they welcome the waves of mockery or do something to turn it down a notch OR become funny OR SOMETHING.

Don't they already sort of have "The View" online... it's called ivillage.com (if you know the female market this should have come up). They have a tv show to go along with it. Best write a compelling and proposal piggyback with them if that's the big plan. Skip the VC-trolling.

why don't you come by and butter my cup, baby? i'll program your site in rails for free!

you guys would need a black sidekick that doesn't know whether the earth is flat or not because she's too busy being a mother

@michaellamb: Perhaps a Business model?
[theozzone.com]

@JDone:
Someone needs to be funny or compelling to do this.

seriously I will be ashamed of Silicon Valley if those girls swoop in and sashay their breastusus like they did at the TC Party and get money WITHOUT A GREAT FUCKING IDEA. I know lots of VCs who regretfully turn down what they call "very good but not good enough to fund" ideas weekly and online Oprah is, well.....

@googoo- took me a second but right on!

+ Watch video

This has got to be a joke.

Aren't the women they'd be targeting this at too smart to watch it?

@dalejo: Yes. But you're presuming that the show is the ultimate goal here. The key is in the post, second sentence.

@yawnster: Hell, if zuck gets funding for a commodity, anything goes.

Oh... Mary in that one video where she visits the dermatologist for a mustache or something, she seems like she'd be a barrel of laughs to hang around with... right.

I am trying to figure out how to react to this LOAD OF CRAP...
I mean who really gives two fucks about what these 3 have to say?
If these girls were lighting 'queefs' on fire and asking for judging of a squirt distance competition, I am all in, sign me up. But the reality of that happening is about a bleak as this FUCKTARD idea actually getting funded.
If this get's funded I am going to get my cousin Sal to video him shaving fucking advertisements in his hairy ass chest. Or better yet, I get the black toothless hookers from Market St. to have the letters M and M tattooed on each ass check, that way we can film her doing cart wheels and watch the spelling go from MOM to WOW! Think that a dumb fucking idea, then that's about as stupid as these three air-heads talking on the interweb!

JA,

Stick to your witty commentary schtick and tell your friend to continue living off of daddy's money. Other 'REAL' ideas are floating around out that that are way more in line for funding then your steamy pile of poop!

GUYS GUYS guys

you're missing the point

if they can get 1 million to have 24/7 videos of julia allison prancing and dancing around half naked then by all means, i'm in.

dude, there's real porn on the internets. Why would someone pay her on obscene amound of money to prance around? I'm sorry to see she flipped you man.

I'm not saying anybody's idea is or isn't going to fly. I'm saying it'll more than likely be a waste to fly to the SV to raise capital for a project like this, for said reasons.

dang..theres more than 1 internet?

Maybe I'm the only one who noticed, but how skinny is Julia in that shot...way too skinny....like Nicole Richie Eating Disorder skinny

You're all missing the point here, which is that Jakob somehow made sweet nookie with Mary's kid sister. He's my new idol.

This has EPIC FAIL written all over it!

@Duncan: Angles.

This is just another attempt to get attention. This girl is really sad.

If she is truly getting meetings with VCs (which I highly doubt) they are doing it to be polite.

There is no way this idea will get funding. As Patricia pointed out, the intended target audience of Oprah is the female viewer. Not many females respect women like Julia Allison. Maybe a few fugly geeks will tune in because she likes to flash her tits, but that's about it.

Julia -- Silicon Valley has real women like Leah Culver who are gorgeous,smart and self-made. We really don't need gold diggin' trash from New York...but thanks for the laugh. Maybe your look-alike Ashley Dupre can give you some career advice. Like they say, Golddiggers: Like Hookers, only smarter. Not sure you're any smarter, though.

I just noticed that's Andy Sernovitz in the ali g video. Whoa he's aged.... dayum. Where's BFF- seth g..

@Duncan I think it's the angle/shot - she's arching like she always does (sex sells). The other one is nasty skinny.

I'd love to see reports on whats going on in Silicone Valley. I don't want to see women giving their opinions to each other on a tv set. Go out and interview execs and engineers about their technologies. I'm gonna watch!

I don't believe three privileged broads with all too much in common even comes close to The View.

@c0d3w12: You can't light queefs on fire.

@brechtgirl:
I was going more towards the thinking that if you could, that would be worth possible funding. Or at the very least a mini tour!

They're plain...

The concept reminds me of the horrible time I spent "behind the scenes" of Chix on Flix. That "cute girls dishing pop culture" pantload couldn't earn an audience or a buck, that was 1999, and they had Katie Wagner. Good luck to you.

[video.google.com]

Isn't Julia Allison that crazy ex-girlfriend who viciously disclosed her ex's medical condition?

Yup, it's her. (Thanks Google.)

@FlakJack: cute??
