Cool experiment. Thinking of using Turk for photo approvals on my site, but the accuracy issue leaves me slightly hesitant. Has anyone had experience doing this?

This is awesome news. I work out of the Cambridge Dogpatch Labs, and besides being a kickass office to work out of, the community that works there is very sharp and diverse. A few YC/ Techstars companies included.

Interesting idea, although I would personally prefer to use Gmail, as I often do when asking a handful of friends for advice. Small bits of advice: I don't love the idea of giving up my card for a free trial - that seems a bit much. Also I'

My personal rule is I’m not touching anything I got from the acquisition. I’m just going to continue to live off of my income. Wonder what his plans are. Investing? Funding his next startup? Philanthropy?

This would be interesting, but I'm not sure if I would be comfortable discussing private business matters in a public forum. That said, for issues I am comfortable discussing in public, I would just post them here (which I often do).

I went to Columbia and am a startup enthusiast. I had several close friends at school that were also starting or working at startups. As much as I loved my time there, I'd have to say it's a pretty bad school for startups. MIT or Stanford a
