Beyond latency, it's also about the conversation interface, and the engagement model with the participants.

Ah - got it. Just curious, but are you basically getting most of your part time help from locals to Pittsburg? Any particular reason why you're not sticking to virtual? Also, did you consider a co-working facility (not even sure if they hav

I wish he'd speak more about what prompted him to get an office space. Is it because he's hiring more people? Did he consider virtual collaboration models instead of a 'real office?' Did he just want to get out of the house?

Looks more like kindergarten than an office space. Where are the crayons?

Blatantly copying is a bad idea. Understanding why they're different, and figuring out the motivations behind their (different) choices and then reflecting on the choices you've made for your product is a good idea. Jason F at 37Signals wro

Dude, that's rough and I've been there; I think a lot of us have. Let me know if you want to talk or something.

I think David has the right idea, but is framing the problem in the wrong way. The problem is that startup founders don't know the difference between work and play. When you're working, you better damn well be sure you're refreshed, thinkin

As for the pricing page, that's great feedback. We really want people to go with the smallest plan to get a feel for how a BrainTrust works and then move on from there. I think we can work a bit harder to make that thought process a bit mor

Thanks for the great feedback. The stick figures are definitely something we want to fix, but it keeps getting de-prioritized on our list ;)

We're seeing a couple of markets here, the "business advisory board for the business owner" market being the most pormising one. It's too early to tell which ones will pan out. This really falls into the category of "Forum 2.0" -- except we

Has YCombinator or some other sort of startup incubator considered offering health plans for startups? We're a pretty uniform population, low risk, and probably a bit smarter about lifestyle choices. I could imagine a package deal (office s

I think this comparison shows a fundamental difference between Facebook and Twitter. Twitter is really trying to find a use-case and serve a purpose that in some way adds to the productivity of this planet. Whereas Facebook's goal seems to

Didn't they buy Postini? I think they may be leveraging their stuff for this.

I thought the tidbit of how the engineer moved from California to New York was interesting. Seems like New York is really growing to be a hotbed for awesome startups. Watch out San Fran!

isn't worrying about your graphics design just a proximate cause of fear? we constantly pick at and spin around one little thing when we're afraid of moving forward and getting to the real root of the problem.

fear of failure. once you get it out there, it will be the true test.

I agree. The angst you are feeling is not due to your employer, your employment, or your employment contract. You are just too weak to go out on your own.

I propose you create a BrainTrust with your most trusted advisors -- http://AskMyBrainTrust.com . Having one can immensely help you not only get past loneliness but also get advice and outside thought on your strategic decisions.
