I wonder if votes are an expression of interest in the (payments) product. That aside, I not only assumed Facebook had thought of the idea of payments, they might even be working on it. It seems like an extension of the "Like" button they

There are a few problems here. FTC disclosure, affiliate tax laws and mostly that icky feeling people get when they get spammed, especially by friends. But in the eyes of YCombinator, I don't think this matters, because they aren't betting

This is just another case of investing in people, just like YC, or any startup investor does. "The guy was one of the best enterprise sales people in North America and highly valued by the organization." I get your point and Benioff was not

I've been in jobs like you've described. I've found that often the feeling of being "burned out" had a lot more to do with what I was working on and who I was working with rather than how much time I was spending doing it. There are limit

I loved using Instagram on my iPod Touch, and have patiently waited for it to show up on my Android. I think there are a few things at work that make Instagram so popular. First, it is incredibly simple to use, including the filters. I'm

I wouldn't lie about it, in fact I can't see ever consenting to such a thing (giving out a password to any service to someone it doesn't belong to). But there are actually people out there that don't have a FB account. I was wondering how

I've recently notice that Facebook has settled into a way for me to communicate with my family, much more so than my friends or acquaintances, so something like FamilyLeaf makes a lot of sense to me. However, I use Facebook to talk with my
