Topics include the Internet, mobile devices and applications, advanced software and hardware technologies, cleantech, venture funding, mergers and acquisitions, and other subjects of interest to business and technology leaders. </p> <p>Additionally, The Standard aggregates community knowledge in a quantified fashion, thereby ranking both the knowledge of the individual community members themselves, as well as the value of the information the community provides as a whole. This system is built as a prediction market, intersected with a reputation-based social network. Think of the prediction market as an Internet Economy Index -- a way to track the sentiment surrounding Web businesses as well as other technology trends.</p> <p> The Industry Standard is based in San Francisco, CA. </p> <p> Tech geeks with inquiring minds who want to know can <a href="/about/tech">read about our tech stack</a>. </p> <h3>Operations</h3> <ul class="operations"> <li><img src="/sites/thestandard.com/themes/industry_standard_v1/images/bios/dbutcher.gif" alt="Derek Butcher" /> <h4>Derek Butcher <span>VP &amp; GENERAL MANAGER </span></h4> <p> <a href="/about/bios/dbutcher" class="profile">FULL BIO</a></p></li> <li class="left-side"> <img src="/sites/thestandard.com/themes/industry_standard_v1/images/bios/ehill.gif" alt="Eric Hill" /> <h4>Eric Hill <span>DIRECTOR, PRODUCT and DESIGN<br /></span></h4> <p> <a href="/about/bios/ehill" class="profile">FULL BIO</a> </p> </li> <li> <img src="/sites/thestandard.com/themes/industry_standard_v1/images/bios/blouie.gif" alt="Baldwin Louie" /> <h4>Baldwin Louie <span>DIRECTOR, TECHNOLOGY<br /></span></h4> <p> <a href="/about/bios/blouie" class="profile">FULL BIO</a> </p> </li> <li class="left-side"><img src="/sites/thestandard.com/themes/industry_standard_v1/images/bios/ilamont.gif" alt="Ian Lamont" /> <h4>Ian Lamont <span>MANAGING EDITOR</span></h4> <p> <a href="/about/bios/ilamont" class="profile">FULL BIO</a></p></li> <li> <img src="/sites/thestandard.com/themes/industry_standard_v1/images/bios/ghileman.gif" alt="Garrick Hileman" /> <h4>Garrick Hileman <span>DIRECTOR, STRATEGY &amp; BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT</span></h4> <p> <a href="/about/bios/ghileman" class="profile">FULL BIO</a> </p> </li> </ul><br /></div> </div> </div> </div> <!-- end wrapper --> Wed, 24 Oct 2007 15:44:16 -0700 Eric Hill 74365 at http://is8.thestandard.com
