   I talked to Andrew about Ashton Kutcher's involvement a few weeks ago. He pretty much said Ashton doesn't get credit for how smart he is because of the character he played in that 70's show. Ashton RAN punk'd and built up a ton of PR and

   I only made it 1/4 of the way through the book. I found it sort of boring. However, the idea of customer driven development is a good concept to understand. One idea from this methodology is that you should start charging some customers a

   Great piece by venture beat, the one liner that started off the piece was perfect. Throwing in the Webmin bit will definitely garner a few phone calls from Sand Hill. Much success to Joe and Jamie!

   First, everyone in a startup is an implementor. We can't afford anything else. The only place the "employee" designation means anything at Xobni is on our worker's comp policy. Our whole team helps evaluate new hires, attends investor par

    Spot on. If you don't have rich parents you have to go into debt to attend private school. You HAVE to take the real job when you graduate. I chose to be Joe State (@ motoko). I graduated in the black and was free to start a startup. I'm t

    I think you have a very good point. The vocal people that publicly complain about email the most are also susceptible to the most overwhelming inboxes. Most of us are in a different category. However, almost everyone feels that email cou

    These third-rate VCs aren't just competing with Sequoia and KP for these investments, they are competing with buyout offers which would make the founders semi-rich. This is very appealing alternative to selling out early when you are a yea

    Hi guys, I like this a lot. Quick feedback: It isn't immediately obvious how to change my location. However, once I found out that you just click on the city name you detected my entry very well. Like others, I'm wondering what makes a ban

    We aren't specifically looking for C#/Java developers. We are looking for generalists. When developing desktop software, Python and Ruby just aren't viable options. Two of our guys didn't know much C# before joining us. However, they are

    You beat me to it! I feel there are two options: reduce the number of emails you care about, and get through the emails you care about faster. Xobni is working on both.

    I'm pumped for Disqus. Use the time in Cambridge to focus on building a technology war-chest. You'll never find the time to focus on code the way you will during SFP.

    Adam and I watched 30 minute segments of this movie over dinners during our summer in Cambridge. Over the 3 months we probably watched the whole movie 6 times. They did a great job with the characters and it is really inspiring to anyone

    Among our startup friends there are only a few Outlook users. Among our friends in the population at large, nearly everyone uses Outlook for their work email. Most of the big sneezers in the valley also use Outlook.

    Congrats to all winners. For anyone who won't be in this YC batch, here is an idea. I suggest joining my YC alum startup, Xobni, instead. Sometimes great hackers joinup instead of startup. That is what Paul Buchheit did : http://paulbuchh
