Whatever else is happening next week (Apple, IDF, Disrupt): Forget all that noise! This is the event you want to be at.

As I wrote (yes, I wrote some of this copy), this is "not just your usual talking-head executive conference."

"CloudBeat stands out as a place where people who know cloud tech first-hand share insights on the latest technologies, what’s working, who’s buying what, and where the industry is going."

It's small, but very focused. People who attended our last two CloudBeat conferences raved about it. Be there or be square!

VentureBeat's next amazing event is CloudBeat, Sept 9-10 in San Francisco. Yes, I know, there's a lot of stuff going on those two days in SF. But this is the place to be if you are serious about enterprise tech. 

Plus: If you click this link you'll get a 25% discount on the ticket price.

Cloud startups! There's still time to enter the Innovation Showdown at CloudBeat. The event happens Sept 9-10 in SF, and it will be a great way to get your company in front of a very select audience of investors and IT customers.  #enterprise   #cloud   #cloudcomputing

I got my hands on a Chromecast today. (And I ordered one, too.) Here are my first impressions: Pretty clever, and it's going to be very useful. For $35, plus $8-12 shipping, Google is going to sell a lot of these. But it's not going to make the back of your TV look any prettier.

There are about a dozen photos in this post, fyi. Would love to hear what you think!

Great story about Marissa Mayer's first year, by +Sean Ludwig. This story also sports a very cool comparative chart by +Jolie O'Dell showing stock performance for many previous Yahoo CEOs.

I would be interested to hear from anyone with direct experience of Yahoo or Mayer's leadership: How is she doing?
 
Best Yahoo CEO ever?

If you've ever wanted to throw me into a tank of water after reading one of my stupid articles, well, here's your chance:

http://techcarnival2013.eventbrite.com/

I'm going to be perched on the edge of the dunk tank from 6:45-7pm tonight. I challenge you -- I DEFY YOU -- to come and try to make me fall in. I bet you can't, though. Last I heard, your aim was terrible. Maybe wearing #googleglass will help? Nah, I doubt it.

Tickets are just $10. Verbal abuse will be free.

Introduction
I'm the executive editor of VentureBeat and, before that, I was the editor of various Wired blogs for four years. 

I'm also the publisher of tinywords, the world's smallest magazine.

For more, visit the Tweney homepage and Dylan's blog.

I have worked at four content startups (including my current job) and several established national magazines, covering technology, business, and science. The work I’ve enjoyed the most has involved creating new editorial products to inform and entertain readers on complicated topics of wide-reaching importance.

At VentureBeat, my job is to lead the news team, hire outstanding talent, set ambitious goals for them, and get out of their way. My own goal is to build VentureBeat into the #1 online news magazine for business and technology.
