What services do you pay for that are non-technical? Lawyers, Accountants, Copywriters, Consultants of various stripes? Anything recurring?

Yes, the small list of docs is the key. We're asking for statements, etc., not data entry on your part.

Then what did you do?

Since we have a new medium, are there new monetization methods available beyond subscriptions and/or advertising? The dinosaurs are only scared of their profit disappearing.

There is more than one dinosaur in the room. I predict that internet enabled computers (of some form - I'll borrow pg's footnote #3) will also be the dominant delivery medium for radio and telephone service.

Submitting your site to Hacker News can yield insightful comments, new users, and potentially result in an investor taking some notice. That isn't the same as deliberately pitching investors, though. I don't see how charging a specific fee

In no particular order, here are some desirable features: 1) Version control. 2) Access restrictions and permissions. BONUS: Responsibilities, a la Siebel and other CRMs. 3) Simple drag and drop manipulation of data, such as concatenation

Exactly. There might be room for this site, just as there's room for Digg, Reddit, and plenty of other social news aggregators, but this appears to be in no way ground breaking. It barely enhances one's ability to use, learn from, and enjoy

I haven't read this lengthy article completely (I might never have time to finish it), but thus far I've found it to be thought-provoking, and unusually in touch with its subject matter. Most articles about Facebook seem to be written by pe

What about helping your co-founder with motivation? Perhaps you could have a meeting and talk about where things stand, what your next steps are, and define the paths you can take at this point. You listed two of them above, and the third i

There should be a way to check the # of times a text message has been read, along with timestamps.

We'll definitely help people out with this kind of stuff. If I were to describe my first New York apartment, you wouldn't believe me.

We're based in New York, so this interests me. What sort of extra help do you think we should give to people relocating here?
