Wow. I don't know if I should be impressed or pity the guy. Mike says, "Everyone who wants to work in a startup should do this," which I don't agree with. But I think every job-seeker should read this piece and pay attention to 2 key point

This. TechCrunch can be useful but it's almost Twitter-like in its update speed, so even a positive write-up gets drowned out by the next hundred blurbs.

Yep. They're getting left behind when they should be on the cutting edge. It's sad, really.

I think part of the problem is that IE is the browser of choice for the Dept. of Defense. If you've ever worked for the DoD, you know that updates, etc. take forever because of security concerns. I wonder if that relationship informs IE's

I dunno, I think businesses realize that reach comes at a cost. In FB's case, however, they interpreted the cost as the time, effort, and resources that it takes to build a fanbase and pump out relevant, interesting content. Now they have

Agreed. It sounds whiny coming from Cuban, but imagine you're a small business owner who relies on your Facebook page to communicate with your fans. You put a lot of time and money into gaining those fans organically, and now Facebook is

Yes, but quality is going down everywhere . Walk into any clothing store in any mall and take a look at the seams. Brands that used to be known for standard, quality pieces are jumping on the fast fashion train, but their prices aren't c

> Facebook may have opened the door to something like sarcastic Amazon reviews. Remember the Chik-Fil-A debacle? Their FB page became ground zero for Chik-Fil-A's opponents, and that was without promoting any posts--they were trying to

True, like Charmaine Yoest: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/04/magazine/charmaine-yoests-... ; And when the interviewer pointed out there was a 60-80% drop in the abortion rate (compared to the nat'l average) among women in St. Louis who r

"That may well be the case at a subconscious level. But that doesn't go away because any or all of the people involved are in relationships." Agreed. I'm lucky to work with men who don't seem to be looking for any extramarital dalliances,

I apologize because I can't find the exact quote, but I believe Miss Manners said something to the effect of "Flirting, when done properly, means that both parties can claim they meant nothing by it." That's the flirting I speak of, the sa

I think your theory hinges on the idea that most, if not all, of the players in this scenario are single. I work in a start-up environment with a bunch of men, but most of them are married or in a committed relationship. For what it's wor
