Sorry, I deleted when I was editing the grammer. I think the price is too low relative to the fundamentals of the business. High returns on capital, decent 10/5 year average revenue growth. Decent transitioning taking place. I think it i

I was the OP from the other thread. callmeed understands what my intent was with the other post. Sadly, I either wrote up the post poorly, or the method of asking outright on forums is a bad idea. Coming from a business background, I just a

I have been thinking about this problem for a while, but I'm still not really sure how to solve it. I somewhat like the idea of a site with broad topics which narrow down into steps and tutorials, or links to tutorials. I'm not sure if th

The biggest problem for me always seems to be figuring out what I need to know, rather than finding the resources themselves. For instance, assume you want to learn how to make a simple web app, and have no experience or background in prog

Great feedback. And yes, you are absolutely right that Amy and Patrick have a product that people need. I quite like the idea of deconstucting existing products and presenting a small subset of the features well. Also, I realize the niche

Dropbox is roughly $1/Gb per year... So you would be looking at $100-$200/year going that route. If you are paying that much for your content storage, understand you are paying a premium for the convenience of cloud storage. If you don't ne

I agree with your point completely. However, on the magic formula bit, I do highly reccomend beginning investors read Joel Greenblatt's book,"The Little Book that Beats the Market", in which he outlines the "magic formula". www.magicformula

I am just curious... Do these "take as much vacation as you want" policies work out well in practice? Or do the policies unintentionally create a competition to vacation less? Can anyone who works at a company with one of these policies s

I agree that incentivizing writers is the hard part about your site. I assume the blog will be monetized with advertising. If so, have you thought about a revenue sharing agreement with your writers based on ad clicks? Sort of like Huffin
