Is the audio in this driving anyone else crazy? The guy with the accent is so loud compared to Sam I had to stop listening.

Off-topic: I always hate sites that limit my sign up options to Facebook or Twitter...

  I agree. I am a total facebook user but I am beginning to take a second thought to the idea of giving my whole friend list to random companies (which is what the sign up page offered). I decided not to sign up because I just don't want to give that information out to every company that asks - especially when that company doesn't even respect me enough to offer e-mail sign up. It's like - yeah, if you want to verify my identity through facebook's API, great. It's fast and you trust facebook. If I choose to save time and do that instead of email sign up and it is my decision, that's great. But why do you need access to my friend's list? And not giving me the option of using my email means you aren't really looking to protect me as a user... which means I definitely am not giving you access to my friend's list. I use facebook every day, but that doesn't mean I want to leak my complete friend list to every site on the web.

    In the new version (2.0) of the Facebook API, Facebook no longer gives the friend list to developers.

      On the app permission page: "Mejorando.la will receive the following info: your public profile, friend list and email address." I thought the new api always had friend's list as a an option.

  Hi, Christian from Platzi here. You're right, we'll update to include an email login option for future courses. Thanks for the feedback.

What is the difference between this and the How to start a startup series?

  The Startup Class has amazing contents. Sam wanted to share new ideas from a recent post using our live streaming platform.

I think Sam needs to go back and do a successful company first. Too much of what he says is gathered from other peoples experiences and not his own. Feel like I am in an MBA class
