I hear alot of people saying good things about Things on the mac, haven't played with it in awhile. I use a crap load of filters in GMail to make my life sane, but I too am running into the "how do we keep track of all this stuff" when it

You can outsource it, and you can make something even if you don't code.

You can do that Mechanical Turk. But yes, Outsourcing can do those tasks pretty easily. But outsourcing can also be plenty tricky. Its a back woods affair, its the wild wild west of development.

A 25 person startup is 22 people too many. Actually the students would learn more if the class was broken down into 5 startups all competing for the customers work. This would give you 5 small tightly focused groups. Each would have to no

The problem with outsourcing is all the unknowns, language barriers, weird stuff, and the fact it can be awkward and uncomfortable and its harder to tell if anyone is gonna take advantage of you or not. Having said that, if you've done it,

plenty o ideas along with easy cheap dev just make for mass experimentation, eventually you'll hit something that really sticks we do far more time manifesting stuff then really working from a core need in the first place

Can you compare comics to games? I sure we'd all say yeah but having dealt with paranoid copyright peeps before I could see where they'd make a case against the comic. The comic lacks a varied degree of "what's happening there", the inten

now why they bought chart.ly other than the fact its short url domain sqwuating action.. who knows, they could of done better than that, but maybe it was a cheap short cut, but odds are the url was more than the actual service...

First of all there a billion 2.0 apps on the planet that have no biz model and they get plenty of funding. Sure its sad, but don't be mad! Second Stocktwits is built on twitter, and thats good and bad, good that its harvesting real time s

Consider it validation and figure out the big picture, who will get to market faster, is backed by a more aggressive vision and where are the short to long term wins for the consumer.

7 out of 10 is good enough to establish a pattern, but you should really try and figure out who your 10 turks were demographically before walkin off into the sunset. do some basic demographic questions if you can, and always try and avoid e

Map them out. Grab a black sharpie, a stack of yellow postits, and find a big ass blank wall. Next jot down everything about the idea in bit statements on postits. Dont try to organize them in advance, just get out of your head. Use the

What do they bring to the table and how badly do you need them?

Another thing people aren't factoring in is the rush YC gets from being the "great uncle" to all these startups. Incubators are in, they are popping up all over the country. They themselves are a biz model thats attractive to investors.

Just about every startup in the web scene since 2004 has been banking on the momentum of the scene. Its pretty proven that niches can gain substantial visibility ie, a twitter, and the hope is that alone can break off and big a big cash cow

So folks are buying serious desktops for gaming then? Screw that 360 or ps3 experience? Or maybe they've been buying serious PCs for all those newly unemployed?

by floozyspeak 18y ago
Doubtful. A real PC for what.. surfing on the net, checking your facebook status and twittering? You need serious CPU for that eh? Anything you want to do, you can basically do in a browser. Serious PC's are still out there, but the tre

PC sales rise.. they need to breakdown just what is rising there. I bet PC desktops are dead and that PC netbooks are the cause of sales rising. And why wouldn't they at $300 a pop. Apple meanwhile is realizing the AIR is not a netbook an

It will definitely be nickle and dime theater.. and HUGE. The push notifications will be a test on whether or not we all start to hate iphones.

Well its still a good inspiration story and it may fly in the face of rising unemployment and horrific economic playground happening out there right now. Major props for laying the story down, not enough people do that. Overall I still feel

Living on the cheap is one thing, going into huge credit card debt will follow you forever. :( Sounds like a gleeful story of doing it "your way" but a massive cost. I think the blog post is a bit in denial because you haven't really said

Was Friendster, Ryze, Myspace? a fad? Probably. Digg? Yes. Is it an essential cant live without it staple in your life? If you can't answer that question easily then its a fad for you. For me its a fad, a willing participation on my par

I think netflix, audible and itunes are different in that they provide tangible "taste-able" content in that you get real something out of it. The bigger question here is does anyone pay for news, informational content? My answer would be n

Teams gather around ideas, without the spark you have no fire. Both are equally important, but I understand where you are coming from. Yesterday I walked away from a startup that was created around my initial idea. Sucks to walk away from

A troll would totally pay to manipulate and pee in your sacred pond.

Nope. Its all just mass experimentation. 100 apps may come but 8 will stick. You can either participate in the mass testing or just kick back and watch for the sticky ones to surface in adoption.
