Hi, I'm one of the founders of Platzi. We're really excited to have Sam teaching a class on our platform. It's really different to learn with live classes instead of just videos. We've been doing this in spanish for a couple of years and this is first english class. Please let us know if you have questions / suggestions or a terrible bug we missed.

  It is never cool to request sign in via Twitter and reserve the right to post tweets yourself on someone else's account. Never

    Oops, we'll fix it right now. Edit: And it's fixed rmason :)

      Appreciate the fast response. Apparently those down voting me have never had someone sending spam from their Twitter account and learned the hard lesson you can't trust everyone. I still think you did the right thing to remove it.

      I'm a bit confused about the sign up. Do you just login at 1pm PT and everyone (lol) gets in?

  Great initiative. Is it going to be possible to ask questions in real time?
  - freddier 12y ago
    Yeah. Ranked questions, ranked notes, real-time files and links. Hope to see you there :)

What start up did Sam Altman found and how did it go?

  Loopt, the first location sharing mobile app. I think the exit was around 40+ million is I remember correctly.

  I just googled "Sam Altman" and among the top few links was the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Altman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Altman I then read that and it answered your question plus extra. i recommend the same technique for most other topics. Very fast, self-serve, great for FAQ-prone facts.

Platzi guys on https://courses.platzi.com/classes/startup-class/ https://courses.platzi.com/classes/startup-class/ Typo on "How to operate, raise, talk to investors and creat a great company." Please fix. Also ...not cool on the Front Page of a high visibility event.
- freddier 12y ago
  And it's fixed. Thanks a lot suprgeek.

    otros mini-typos: published, is awesome. "All our classes are recorded and plublished. But the live experience it's awesome."
    - freddier 12y ago
      That one took a while, but I think it's fixed now. What do you think?

Also it would be nice to see the class in different timezones. I don't like calculating in my head and being wrong which happens more often. seems good though. thanks
