First and foremost, we like to tell people that we have 500 million active users using our webapps. Thinking about things such as active users compared to raw signups is negative and we naturally try to avoid negative reports. Expiring pa

"I think that we’ll continue to see more companies like [Groupon] who will put us to shame a couple years from now with their rate of growth." I firmly believe that this is correct. A lot of product pitches from current or previous Google

Just to be sure that I haven't misspoken: I'm not using the word evil to say that Jason is in some way similar to the devil. He's a smart guy who I'm sure has done some really nice things. I'm using evil in the context described above. As

You're definitely a talented guy. I don't believe in luck. It would be time well spent for everyone who wants to be successful to take a page out of your book.

Beyond article / blog post writing, submitting quick designs to theme sites or working the affiliate game... Have you thought about developing a few small, niche targeted for-pay lessons? For example, a lot of people want to learn how to de

Some people are very good at recognizing talent and using it. It is a common attribute of many top CEO's in any industry. As an outsider looking in, I perceive Jason's value to a company may be found both in his skill to identify valuable

This is a trend going through large Canadian businesses right now. They seem to think that by outsourcing work to overseas mills that they can save money. Sales and support aside, it's the companies that are outsourcing engineering that ar

For me, maintaining focus is about planning. I found that taking one afternoon a week (usually Tuesdays for some reason), removing all distractions and simply thinking about my big picture goals and what I need to do to get there solves a n

ISP's don't want to block Torrent traffic. They want to figure out how to make more money from it.

The encryption part of this is perhaps the most interesting. However, even without breaking the encryption, I have to think that there will be ways to identify requests base on pre and post data. We know what encrypted Torrent traffic look

The encryption part of this whole thing is useful and very interesting. This line of thinking is very similar to what happened when the Gnutella network itself was formed. It was created as an alternate system to the FastTrack network. Ne

DNS queries can be filtered, categorized and reported just as easily as any other type of traffic. Regardless of the tech, it's the fragmentation that this sort of behavior causes that is the real problem.

This is a very interesting project. However, I think in order for something like this to succeed, it needs to be founded in a truly altruistic goal such as education, research, or some form of free information. "By creating a .p2p TLD that

This looks like an interesting app. However, the features that you have integrated are not unique or interesting enough for this app to gain a lot of attention. If your intention is to create a niche app that solves a few problems, you've

It doesn't need to be a full-time gig and age is inconsequential. The idea here is two fold. First, get out and talk to people. Retreating into a cave is the single worst mistake that people make. Force yourself to get out there and talk

1) Talk to a shrink. I'm not a big medication guy, so simply having an impartial, 3rd party can help. Plus, they know grief so they can help you find some strategies. 2) Channel your Father. I don't mean in some Psycho (movie) sort of wa

Groupon's "flash in the pan" days are behind it. They created a new niche on the Internet and now, a very large number of clones are nipping at their heels. Online, Groupon's business is about leadgen. Offline, Groupon's business is about

Scoble wrote about Google vs. Instagr.am. I left a comment that answers your question: http://scobleizer.com/2010/11/12/why-google-cant-build-insta... When you consider Google, Instagr.am and now Boutiques.com, I think that each of these

I don't think that Boutiques.com was a departure from what Google is already good at. Boutiques.com contributes to their core product (search). On the surface, it looks like Google has defined a long list of fashion ecommerce sites to sear

Web and mobile apps seem to consume most of our days lately. It's nice to be reminded that there is still a lot of money in straight, simple ecommerce. I like the way that Google is aggregating content into one shop. I've often wondered w
