honestly this guy sort of bothers me, since when is being a banker + charging interest such a freckin noble thing. I have no doubt his program has helped many people and don't mean the chap any disrespect, but they are making money off this

i think its a fascinating problem and don't feel current options (adverts or donations) are addressing. tim orielly points out that there is not a one size fits all solution. when the content/media/art is the product it becomes increasin

congrats on the launch - maybe its just me - but it took me a while to figure out what the site does - I don't think that info belongs in the FAQ section. Design is clean - well done. Again I'm not a big Fantasy player or online gamer bu

social web is far beyond one platform or the next, fb may be winning vs. myspace, but they are leaps and bounds from nearing google. this is big news for startups - there are a lot of great bits to use from this.

a couple things I get from Max's story, one that has certainly been told repeatedly but is none the less quite amazing: 1) at 22 - he was not trying to be the CEO - he was hacking away at someone else's startup. 2) He was lucky enough to h

excellent post - it takes a lot of guts to jump into an experience like this full force: create a demo, complete the app, fly off to CA - maybe it didn't click that time but your on your way bro!
