My goodness, I can't stand The Apprentice -- it progressively gets trashier each season, so I simply stopped after the first. Paul, if you think Zoodango sounds cheesy, go see Trump's Learning Annex commercial where, in less than a day, Don

As I mentioned in a previous thread, I'd like to organize a Palo Alto meetup amongst Startup School/YC News participants. If you're interested in getting together for dinner and a evening of interesting company, please e-mail: StartupSchool

I think Startup School is a great opportunity to meet other hackers and, hopefully, form meaningful relationships with like-minded peers. I'm from Los Angeles where the startup community is generally lacking -- the idea of "entrepreneurship

It seems that the crowd at OpenCoffee is mostly comprised of visiting international folk. I'm going to stop by next week and check it out. I'll let you guys know how things go.

Prashant -- where are you located? I got the feeling from some of your postings that you might be around the Northern California region.

Well, what I mean to say is that the number of meetups is simply dependent on those interested. YC News gatherings shouldn't ultimately be restricted to Startup School weekend. I figured that it would be great if YC News goers in the Palo

FYI, I made this post aside from Startup School -- I was originally hoping to meet up with other YC News peeps in the Palo Alto area (maybe those thinking of applying for Summer Founders?). Regardless, observing this thread's progression, I

I think there is a virtue to not having much of it to begin with. My parents are big believers in saving for rainy days, and we definitely had some rainy days during my childhood (Dad works in aerospace, go figure). I think tough times lik

I've been a big fan of Danah's work for the past 3 years. This is an interesting analysis she published a while back (though it's ever evolving), especially since most people are quick to generalize Friendster's demise as a product of inte

At no disrespect to Evan Williams, I think the nail went into the coffin for Odeo when its own creators weren't its best users, i.e. they didn't podcast themselves, so their podcasting tools failed to deliver for the rest of the podcasting
