From my experience, you get much better generalized startup feedback, but it's frankly harder to get true user feedback unless you're building something for SF types. I tend to filter a lot of my more general consumer product ideas through

It's not illegal, I've had Virgin America actually tell me to just not show up when I was canceling a flight once because the cancelation fee was more expensive than my ticket. Essentially, I had to pay them $20 or something to cancel my f

That crunchbase link says nothing about engineering, only product management. Am I missing something there?

You should let people know that you're going to SMS them before you do. Having skimmed the blurb and just signing up, I was surprised when my phone started buzzing. Thankfully I had my google voice number tied to my foursquare vs. my actu

It's nothing like quickbooks. It's literally like the main tab of mint.com, it shows your current balance and you can drill down into transactions. If you want a proper quickbooks-like experience, I recommend xero.com which is, unlike ind
