The difference is when you don't use your bandwidth, the company benefits, but when you don't use your square footage, a company doesn't gain anything.

Was Yuri Milner's investment part of that blind $150k investment he gave to all companies in YC during that one season? Or is this a subsequent investment?

That is quite a list of investors. Ashton Kutcher is all over silicon valley right now. Congrats, GWU.

True, but neither do cell phone mintes to a cellular company. They just figured out a way to make the economics work while providing a better service to users.

The first thing I thought of when I read this was the episode of 30 Rock where Jack talks about "Meetings Magazine." Too funny.

This is good for everyone. Businesses will realize that more and more people are doing initial research online, which will cause them to 1) improve overall service 2) make more information available online 3) keep their business as tidy as

Looks good...but isn't this the same thing as builtwith.com and a few others?

For people with very short attention spans...put some images of the product! As sad as it is, people want to see what they are signing up for without reading the text.

These are all great suggestions. Smashingmagazine is a great resource for developers. I'm not quite sure about a checkbox to confirm password...maybe I need to see it actually implemented somewhere to know if I like it.

At first I wasn't sure how Skype played into FB's strategy but I guess it makes sense. Skype would come with a plethora of talent, which facebook is known to spend money for. Also, the Skype technology would allow FB to fill out the video c

Im looking for apartments in SF right now and can't find anything (decent) under $1700 for a 1 bed 1 bath. Maybe I just have expensive taste:).

You have a home in SF for $765/month? That's ridiculously low. The rest of your expenses are low too, well done.

Obviously, Arrington's article was just a fluff piece. 30 is not over the hill. 25 is also definitely not peaking. It is true that a 25 year old is more willing to take a risk on a startup than a 30+ year old (which I have learned first han

"For instance, it’s now possible for developers to build applications that allow all users to back up files from their local hard drive to the cloud." hmm...wonder who this is aimed at?
