I added a bid for you. It is nice to see something that isnt a mlm scheme on flippa, not to mention is RoR. I don't know if flippa is really set up for what you are doing either, but I did actually toy with the idea of starting a site that

While I agree that it works well, I have not found it to be particularly easy to use. (to clarify I use the online version) Then again I made the mistake of never taking any finance classes in school. It is full of strange jargon and confus

I knew that Erlang was originally written in Prolog, but I somehow managed to never look at any Prolog code before. It explains so much about the structure and approach that Erlang took. I am curious to explore how the Erlang interpreter wa

You should probably add a contact form / email address to http://www.startupbook.net/ . I ordered the book ~15 mins ago and I haven't gotten a confirmation email yet.

Can someone explain the power dynamics of a board, vs that of the shareholders? I always assumed that retaining a majority of shares between the founders would keep them in control of the company, but is it the case that the board has more

This list was generated organically, rather than handed down from on high. It is not a decree to unfollow anyone not on the list, but rather an opportunity to see a list of people on twitter that other intelligent people with similar intere

Interesting. I have 2 questions: 1. What does the business person do in the weeks/months before there is anything to sell? 2. How do you teach people to sell? Judging by the stories coming out of the major incubators pitching to investors i

It really depends on what you are looking for, and all of the points you made are true. However, Chicago has some great things going for it IF you like living IN the city. Chicago's winters are brutal, but the rest of the year is gorgeous.

There are a number of resources in Chicago that might be able to help you, but may I make a couple of suggestions? 1) When you ask for something, you need to be clear. Please use full sentences and complete thoughts. 2) Give a brief overvie

You are correct. As soon as you offer equity (in any form, disguised or otherwise), on a website, you have just made a public offering. The SEC has some strong opinions on how this should and should not be done, it tends to involve large le

Am I the only one who got really excited upon seeing the domain was octobot.taco.cat, and then very confused when going to www.taco.cat? It seems to be an art gallery in Spanish or something... I realize this is not germane to the topic, bu

The video is a very detailed presentation of what the Diaspora guys have been up to, complete with code samples. It is a much more interestig project now that there is more than just a bunch of promises being made. I am looking forward to c

Personally I would prefer a script that made all variables private and removed setters, but I suppose that would be more useful than funny.

As an individual it is unlikely. Your best bet would be to develop an algorithm with massive amounts of recent historical data that shows you could hypothetically be profitable. Shop that to trading firms or angel investors and use their ca

This is for companies that have $500k to $5m in revenue and will loan them between $100-500k. 1) This is only a small percent of the 'startup' market by definition. 2) That is not a lot of money. Anyone with little to no revenue needing hun
