$15 dollars for a "useful" service is nothing. The average person spends that "everyday" for lunch. The companies offering these services have to charge enough to pay for the servers, developers, tech support, etc.. and yes, also to make a

Twitter is great to share links and short messages/news. It is not intended to be used as a conversation tool or long comments. Use it you feel the need for it, or don't.

It is a valid point. However, having a hardware product might help raise more capital for the same reasons you mentioned above. Thanks!

The problem I see with this is that the application I create will be dependent on Facebook's service, what if I want to use something else? what if my application is so successful that Facebook decides to create a service/app that does what

I agree with reading a lot, however, do not spend too much time on it. At some point "thinking like an entrepreneur" means to act on ideas, not only reading about how to act on them ;)

I like the functionality of it, this can also be used like an on-demand personal assistant with a few tweaks... I do not like the UI, but as long as it works is all good.

I guess you just do. For example, entrepreneurs always seem to be looking for ideas, for change, even if they involve risk. Non-entrepreneurs in the other side are the ones that look for a "safe" job, do not appreciate change and they just

The fact that I start a business by bootstrapping it does not mean I am after a small niche (not that there is anything wrong with that). My aspirations are much greater than that, bootstrapping is just what I believe works for me, as a sta

That is exciting to hear. I do not want to build the next Microsoft, I want to build something better! and more useful for people than a word editor ;) (full disclosure, I like and use MS products very much).
