I found the girlfriend and location issues to be the biggest challenge for submitting. Luckily my partners gf lives close, I can't score a girl and we both live in Massachusetts. Works out perfect!

I loved this article. It covers how a website can start with no clear vision and have the social community direct what it ultimately becomes They also have a pretty positive outlook on their biggest competitor, Pandora, who they also see a

I totally agree. It makes them sound like they don't know what they're talking about. I also thought it was funny that now they're describing these amazing 'niches' that are being worked on when it's been happening for a real long time.

This looks like a pretty cool device. I'm not sold on that sort of popular recommendation service system like last.fm though. It tends to be great for casual music listeners but I always feel like it recommends me the obvious handful of ban

Yeah definitely. I assumed since Techcrunch gave a lot of publicity to YComb that would help in a big way. I read somewhere that in 2005 the applicants were around 250 or so.

Good reflective piece on Y Comb. It seems like being around people that were also highly motivated entrepreneurs really pushed you guys to work harder to create a great product. I also agree with the hiring issue. Reminds me of a popular bo

I've never got laughed at but I've had a lot of people tell me what I should do with my idea. I think the most frustrating part is when someone obviously doesn't understand what you're trying to do and proposes another route that is just ba

I have no idea if this has already been brought up (considering I just skimmed over the responses in this discussion) but I'd like to see another tab on top that maybe is for questions that people are curious about. I see that people are po

Even after reading the FAQs I don't see how this is legal. I'm pretty sure you still need a blanket license to give access to major label music. Seems to me that you can download music off of other people like a p2p.without paying royaltie

I have found that having a cofounder makes the process a little more easier. I tend to become more motivated when I feel that someone else is also dedicated to the cause. I think it is essential for killing bad ideas and thinking more creat

I'm 24 and not interested in being an assistant for my whole life. I spent time at some major labels which sounds cool but it really wasn't. It turned out to be a pretty frustrating and disheartening experience, but I learned a lot. After s
