I generally avoid stuff that relies on heavy SEO or otherwise obviously directly competitive. Although I'd avoid some of that stuff merely because it is bad for the ecosystem before I worry if it bothers my employer. I'm pretty clear where I work and what my burden of responsibility is. So entrepreneurs will end discussions when they learn where I work if I wasn't aware. Usually if there is a conflict issue it ends there. I invest small amounts relative to my net worth and am unlikely to compromise my behavior for an investment. The E(v) of an investment, if you assume the 33% chance of a > 3x return is still not that big. Although: Yahoo compliance forced me to pass on the first round of Twitter. Yet another reason I am annoyed at them.
