Is it okay if I respond to you, and down vote at the same time?

by blader 19y ago
Yes, exactly. You're kind of proving my point here. Designing clothing is hard. Designing web apps are hard. You need to be good at each to be successful at each. You won't be good at either if all you have is a "business/marketing genius"

Unless you're a celebrity, how many people have clothing lines can't design clothes? How many people own restaurants and don't know how to cook? How many people think designing software is as easy as designing a spork?

by blader 19y ago
This is a great idea, because sales and marketing geniuses are really really useful when you have don't have a product and don't know how to build one.

44 million isn't too ridiculous in terms of operations and hardware if they expect to scale up to something massive. What's truly ridiculous is the rumored 170 million pre money valuation, for a consumer service that's hovering at an Alexa

I just wanted to get familiar with development for the Facebook Platform (cuz it's teh new internets and all), so I put together a quick Mafia app. Right now the feature set is pretty much the simplest thing that could possibly work, so sug

Let me just say this: "the idea doesn't matter" is a statement that we found to be highly, highly unreliable. Don't expect to get funded without a solid idea that is different. I'll elaborate on this later, but trust me on this one.
