A senior VP at NBC recently asked me for my advice regarding digital media strategy, and YouTube obviously came up in the course of our conversation. I'm still waiting to actually see what the service delivers, but I'm a bit worried for You

Well I'd assume this would be very dependent on what you're planning to work on.

Domp, I've been loving the discourse that has emerged between you and far33d, and I have absolutely no idea what mynameishere is trying to say. Not sure if the post is trying to be offensive, or if it's simply trying to help (though not cle

A few of these points really resonated with me, especially #9. I couldn't help but feel frustrated that school was a place where writing about ideas often took precedence over execution. As I spent the last winter break contemplating my fu

Remember, DRM is merely an attempt to control how you acquire and experience music. It's a facelift to an aging concept called physical distribution in a web-empowered society.

I'm guessing you have a team set up? Working remotely? Thanks for the info, btw -- all of this sounds exciting.

I think it helps to note that Reddit didn't launch a few weeks ago.

I'm very interested in this. A portion of my background is in game design at Atari and marketing at EA. How does team selection work?

I could imagine why many startups have chosen to focus on mobile, especially when it's a space that's attracted significant investment from carriers and media conglomerates alike. However, many startups underestimate the true intentions for

I've seen at least 2 Scribd-hosted docs earning popularity on Digg over the past 3 days. Crazy because Scribd went live not too long ago and I distinctly remember a lot of people questioning its use case.

Nice one, Daniel.

I see what you're saying, but, to a certain extent, you won't be able to test what your team is truly made of until you guys hit that first bump -- this is when things become clearer, and I would imagine you wouldn't want to wake up one mor

I would imagine such a situation to be dicey. Startups are forged around shared passion, trust, and ability to work well together, not too different from marriage. Using the marriage metaphor, I think going into business together on a fir

Guy gave a fantastic talk at Stanford a few weeks ago. I'll admit that I was initially skeptical given the many posts that have appeared on the web questioning his track record. In response Valleywag's sarcastically-titled "Guy's Golden T
