Here is why he is wrong 1. You won't be your own boss. Yes, your customers will tell you what they want, but ultimately YOU decide the direction of your product/company. In this sense, you most certainly are your own boss. 2. You won't lik

This isn't advice insomuch as it's a warning. Advice implies that the OP is recommending some course of action.

I totally agree with this. Get some good analytics tools. Mixpanel launched today, and I am a big fan. Maybe its worth trying out.

I checked out your site--your non-spam post motivated me to find it :) I think you guys have a pretty cool product. Maybe you should concentrate on one specific vertical. Right now you are trying to market to everybody, which may be tough.

I have seen Mixpanel in action, and I think it's by far the best solution out there. Congrats on the official launch.

Agree, but it depends on what you mean by "idea guy." Is this guy going to make sure that the lights stay on? Is he going to market the company, make the sales calls? If he just came up with the idea, I would give him a few percentage point

"The first thing I notice when I look at an application is the username it was submitted under. If it's one I recognize for making thoughtful comments on Hacker News, I give the application extra attention." I was actually surprised by this

If design is tantamount to usability, it is the second most important aspect of your site (behind functionality, in my opinion). If design = drop shadows and rounded corners, I would put it on the bottom of my priority list.

In two weeks, Ev and Biz will be calling Arrington to offer him an exclusive on some new twitter feature. TC did nothing wrong in releasing the documents. If anything, Arrington was incredibly transparent over the past few days (albeit, in

I think 100 years from now, we will look back at this current lack of interest in space exploration as one of the biggest missed opportunities in human history.

Ivan, I genuinely respect your ability to keep a cool head. With a post like that, my first instinct would be to show the same lack of impatience and respect as the OP. Anyways, welcome (back) to CA. I hope to run into you in Mountain View.

It would be WAY to arbitrary, and the harder you tried to make it work, the more it would look like what we have today. Ultimately, a human (or multiple humans) would have to decide what was true, and what was false. I would almost be amuse

I think it's just because there are not as many teenage social media gurus.

Students hate paying for things. I think it will be very hard to make a paid model work on a scale that would see any kind of real revenue. The problem is only exacerbated by the fact that there are already a lot of similar free services ou

Point taken. I can also see how my comment reads -- I certainly did not intend to suggest that you were not a good entrepreneur. I was trying to be tongue and cheek.
