Howdy, I'm MG Siegler. I’m a general partner at Google Ventures and a columnist for TechCrunch. This is where I collect things.

Some selected works. Some haikus. Some investments. Ask away.

About your "Timing Is Everything" post. Are you trying to imply that Facebook will make a phone because SJ once said he wasn't but did so anyways? Two different people with two different reasons. Also, do you really think a FB phone makes sense? Would it just be Facebook apps with a store that sells other Facebook-enhanced apps? To me, that is what FB has been doing in the last 3 years. So it doesn't make sense to me. Please enlighten me if you see something I do not. Thanks.

I guess my point is that even though these people state things they’re *not* doing, they’re actively thinking about and/or working on them. That was the case with Apple, and it’s the case with Facebook.

That doesn’t mean it’s a good idea for Facebook to do a phone. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. Again, timing is everything. It just means it would be stupid for them not to be looking into it. Which they are — and have been, clearly.
