Orkut, Google's old attempt at Social Networking had this feature. I doubt anybody really cared. This was not really a game changer and was just another feature. It's a nice feature for your ego to know who is secretly stalking your profile

Do Americans have to pay income tax whenever value of stock appreciates (even if he does not sell in the market)? I doubt it. Since valuation of stock would vary. Here in India, the only tax Mankiw would have to pay is when he sells the sto

Successful startup CEO's have a lot of expectations on their shoulders. On the other hand, they have little to gain by telling the whole truth to a new breed of entrepreneurs. What will they gain, a little appreciation? I really doubt that
