Some good reminders for all of us. Case study material, in fact (hopefully it won't turn into a full-blown, "oops, where did all the money go" case study).

Could limit the # of people you could click on to 5 or 10 or whatever. Could be a different number for guys vs. girls. Or could equalize by charging guys per click and girls click free or something.

There are pros and cons to being first mover or second mover and examples of successes and failures of each. I prefer second mover, as someone else has de-risked, educated the market, etc. Now it's just to improve/differentiate, and capture

Whether his analogy could have been better or not is besides the point, IMHO. Not sure I get what you mean by analogy being "opportunistic." He used it in his introduction. It worked for me. In fact, that's an example a good use case. Anywa

Wow, neat idea and nice looking web page. One comment comes to mind: Think about applying to school and getting in first (that what I recommend, in fact). You will then find a place to stay even if you have to do it after you arrive in Cali

Quick design comment: I like the clean look, but I find the home page a bit long (i.e., a lot of scrolling is required), even if that's the style these days. Best wishes with your project. I look forward to updates. Cheers.

OMG, I was going to put an Any Rand book on there as a joke and I see one seriously posted one here. If you like Rand books now, you probably newly "discovered" her and her books and philosophy. Strong probability you are around college a

That's good to hear. I submitted an order over an hour ago and have received no email confirmation, license key, download link, whatever :) I emailed your sales department to at least make a paper trail of that. Looking forward to giving y

And then the post mortem / lessons learned and how next time I'll use Lean Startup (shit, do I need to pay Eric Rice a licensing fee for mentioning the generic term that existed since he was in diapers, but trademarked somehow?).

These days, it seems that when I ask great 20-something-year-old programmers (or whatever term we use) at what age they started to program computers, I the answer is usually 10+. I wonder if it will be the same in 20 years? How young will

Thank you for calling it "P2P" instead of "collaborative consumption" or "sharing economy." Regarding the startup itself, I wish them luck (but I am skeptical because lending at less than the government rate combined with the loans being d
