I have to disagree with author on some of the points. And looks like he doesn't like the fact that FB and Twitter are part media, part software companies. "a media company writing software that is optimized for mostly passive users interest

Even I agree with you when you say that author comes across as negative towards Twitter. Also, I hate the way he hates brand advertisers and advertising. C'mon, we all need advertising. We all need effective channels to market our products

Really? Do we really have "entrepreneurs" in bay area who say "engineers are secondary"? I guess thats why investors complain there is more noise rather than signal in the bay area nowadays. I wonder is it because movies like Social Network

Google and Amazon don't make money from hardware/software. And if Android OEM's refuse to lower prices then Google can still continue with Motorola. Android OEM's who are just in the game for hardware are in danger.

Congrats!! Keep it up.. Why are so many HNers being dismissive of this young fella? He has done something cool and he is really proud of that. He learnt something that is considered very hard for the majority of population and put his work

I believe for enterprise/B2B services sales guys are the "growth hackers" and I believe for them it must be how many million dollar checks you can get over quater/year. However, I'd love to hear from anyone with enterprise sales experience

Most of the Google's mega acquisitions are long term. And Google indeed thinks long term. People were saying the same about Youtube in 2008. But look at YouTube now. I'm sure Android is helping Google's revenues rather than hurting. And And

I use Stripe on our website for payments and it's beautiful. I agree that Stripe is still not that well known outside tech/geek circles. But it will be very useful for one-time payment type of websites/blogs and I'm sure it will give lot of
