I agree with that. There is nothing wrong with selling your company, but if you start your company hoping to sell it for millions in a year, it seems like you're just setting yourself up for trouble.

There are people that have this mindset, although I don't think it means that we are in a bubble. There are always people looking to get rich quick. The fact that it's so easy to start a Web Venture today means that there will be more of th

I don't think that we're going to end up destroying ourselves with our excess data but I think it makes a good case for centralized data storage. If you could hold all of your personal data in one place you wouldn't have to copy it to each

Oh no. Don't let this be what keeps you in Windows land. Switch to Mac just because it's better in every way, you won't regret it.

Agreed. Storing more email helps to target their ads, and most users will never use the full amount of space. Also, at the rate that storage gets cheaper they are able to continually increase the limits. It's like the problem that Amazon ha

This is an interesting problem that I've wondered about myself. We all talk about Web 2.0 not being a bubble but maybe that's just because the 'average joe' doesn't know anything about what's going on. Other than a few stories about MySpace

I'm currently talking with a friend about starting a business that I had already considered starting on my own. We have worked together in the past and things went well but I can definitely see how some of the 'friend problems' in this arti

I completely agree. Google knew that they needed to be involved in this lawsuit or the future of their business, and perhaps the Internet, could be in jeopardy. If YouTube had to settle or try to fight the lawsuit on their own it is very li

It's true but because they control the majority of online ads end-users are stuck accepting their rates and agreements. I'm not saying that Google is bad but I don't really know how large a percentage I get from their ads. If there were mor

It is true that making your users pay to try your product is the best way to keep your userbase small. I think that offering a free version and then a pay version with extra features is the only real way to expect users to pay. The problem

I agree that his views on schools doesn't really translate to coding. The author talks about the prestige of programming being low, which in IT it is, but there are obviously coders that have prestige. John Carmack, for one, is very highly

There are a few points in this article I don't agree with. But it makes an interesting case as to why controlling your own fate, as a small business owner, is a much better choice than 'getting a real job' in the IT industry.

It may just be me but I didn't really get much from this article. The author states that it's hard to get users to pay for something, and then doesn't offer any advice as to how to fix the problem.

Yeah it sounds pretty interesting. It works off of the idea that you can lend your music to a friend, and you can make a backup of something, what you can't do is listen to your backup while the other person listens to the original. So they

Haha you should have seen it before the latest 'redesign'! Unfortunately I'm not a graphic artist, but it may be time to find one. People don't like ugly sites, with the exception of craigslist.
