I'm very much against this. Facebook does not need a piece of every aspect of our online life. I much prefer Disqus because 1) they aren't facebook and 2) they are way more useful in terms of commenting because it allows you to keep certai

Google buzz isn't going to be easy to lure people in to. The UI/UE isn't all that great. And I say this as a gmail user. I really think google needs to think about acquiring the next up and coming social service...whatever that may be...

Yes, that is also huge. Overall I am so disappointed with this attempt that will likely become law.

How is it compensation for publishing? Publishing what? you mean the actual patent?

Not really, if 2 people or groups out of the millions of people who live in this country (or are on visas to work in this country) is that really an obvious invention? Or to make it more realistic say three or five out of an entire industr

Footspoting is a great app I'd highly recommend. I love that a woman is behind it. It would be nice to see a woman run startup reach the success of facebook or twitter...

I wasn't really sure what the site was for after spending 30 seconds on it. I didn't read your blurb here first, but now that I have I am still confused. Maybe you need to work on your "1-liner" so to speak. Best of Luck!

"If you asked a lawyer, a CPA or a banker if they'd take $100k to work their ass off for a corporate master, they'd laugh in your face" Actually, I know plenty of lawyers who would GLADLY take 100k to work their ass off for a corporate mast

I loved the site and completely agree with the "under $5" suggestion. It makes the user's life easier

True, but most people won't think twice and will just give it to them.

I understand the basics of marketing, but asking a customer for their zip code isn't going to tell you much about them personally. It's the reverse engineering that is the real key and problem with this strategy. I'm pretty sure that when

Doesn't this just apply to retailers? If you're a social-networking start up wouldn't you really want users to create accounts rather than using their FB or Twitter accounts? Also, only something like 13% of internet users use Twitter so I

I've always wondered why they asked you for this information. Best Buy has been doing this for years. The article points out that online retailers have access to this a lot of info, but when you shop online you expect it. I actually hate

So nobody is going to say anything about this :Twitter may be valued as high as $10 billion, based on the microblogging service’s recent low level sale discussions with both Facebook and Google executives. Maybe I missed it but I had no ide

"You can run a successful tech business for years and never speak to a human being on the phone or in person." That's if you don't need an capital and can make it on your own. If you're a female led start-up you're the face of everything yo

I'm surprised bullying hasn't been mentioned in this discussion. That's one of the main reason I plan to keep my unborn children off the internet as long as possible. It's interesting though, when I was 13 my parents took TV away from me du

As a female CEO of a start-up I kind of resent the tone the founder of this org takes. Who is she to decide what is right for all women? That's like saying all Asians _______ because Asians ______. It's not appropriate and I found many of

Very interesting. It's funny, I'm actually launching a site with the chicken/egg problem and I thought of some of the same ideas (fake users or at least having your friends create 2-3 accounts each and chalking up my campus quad). I'm glad
