While I can appreciate (in fact, I probably don't) the technical difficulty of delivering a chat/video service to a userbase of 750M; these simply aren't compelling innovations for most (especially younger) people. Of particular note, thes

I think people are overcomplicating the issue, social media simply gives community to people who may have otherwise thought their ideals lacked popular support. This was previously done with outspoken radicals speaking to the masses, but i

Not surprising, Reddit was in the perfect position at the perfect time to suck up all of Digg's traffic when they briefly faltered. On top of that they've curated not just a large community (and even more impressive -- self-sustaining sub-c

Back in 2000 online purchasing and e-commerce were still in their infancy. It was difficult to predict back then whether traditional models of commerce applied to these businesses, and to what degree consumers would adopt online buying. We

You could also lose $81,000 in cash by setting it on fire. Care should be taken with any large currency transaction, digital or otherwise. Though the delicacy of data (from a consumer storage standpoint) is definitely a hit against the con

Its definitely an ad. I've seen too much internet to believe the wording of that app pitch is genuine. Also, I don't even think its possible to drive with a macbook on your knee like that.

Snake oil, its the future; and I can get you 100Ks worth easy. Seriously though, this is a dumb question. There is no such thing as guaranteed returns, and anything with a 20% return probably has inherent risks that you don't appreciate, o

My anecdotal experience says: Large companies want to see theory (hacking together something that 98% works in a short period of time is less important than something that is maintainable and comprehensive), and they are willing to teach yo

I usually vote no on such ideas from the standpoint that if they don't like the trial, the won't want to be contacted either. However, if you want to reduce the pain for customers to reach out to you or purchase a license -- make it easy t

When you find another partner, give them a stake in the project (equity; incorporate if you haven't already - its not expensive), having skin in a project makes it more difficult to arbitrarily walk away.
