<p>Happy IPV6 day, to steal the <em>New York Times's</em> line, and a merry Internet Week to all. Did you know <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2011/06/08/betabeat-arrives-at-the-webutante-ball-before-judah-friedlander-but-after-the-shark/">Judah Friedlander is a Webutante</a>? Or that $1,500 is enough to convince a former <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2011/06/08/drown-internet-drown/">Facebook employee to dive into a decorative pool</a>? Some other things that happened this week in New York start-ups:</p>
<p>THE WABBYS. Betabeat won a Webby! Just kidding. The <strong>Pulitzer of blogs</strong> eludes us. Go and congratulate our brothers in content creation as they rub shoulders with <strong>Daniel Radcliff </strong>and OKGO's <strong>Damian Kulash </strong>at the Hammerstein Ballroom on <a href="http://webbyawards.com">Monday, June 13</a>.</p>

Medico.com also offers community features and a Q&amp;A platform organized around focused health topics such as diabetes, heart disease, and plastic surgery." The Fund's first investment was in <strong>MyCityWay</strong>, the winner of the first <strong>BigApps</strong> contest.</p>
