Not that I disagree, but "inability to respect social norms" is basically part of the definition of Borderline Personality disorder or Narcissism, so saying as much is basically tautological.

That's a 'backup', that has nothing to do with all social content on the servers being unreadable to anyone but those in the graph.

OneSocialWeb, Diaspora et all are solving the wrong problem but are getting attention because of the general grumblings about Facebook. The issue causing the most Facebook user dissent is privacy. Open protocols do little to address this; h

I'm not sure the slow start is what's called for here, if CL were so inclined they could permanently make these guys irrelevant in a week or two.

This will work in certain situations. Basically, in negotiation the one to mention price first 'loses'. The reason the first party to mention a price 'loses', especially if it is the payee, is fairly simple game theory. The first price ment

Entrepreneurs obviously need to spin their situation in as positive a light as possible, see all the chatter around the monitization of twitter as an example, but I doubt outright lies are going to be a winning strategy. (it may work for Jo

Never mind the cost of the network effects, PayPal only stayed in business because it figured out effective fraud loss minimization, which its completion did not (billpoint etc). Preventing fraud is mostly orthogonal to the lean/cash intens

I was just investigating postabon, I zoomed out to the whole US and only found a few dozen postings. They really need to work on their network effects, probably by spending large amounts of $ on contests and marketing.

Can't you have a standard for reddit ads? I would like to support reddit and view ads, but I feel you broke your covenant with users when you allowed flash-based blinky and moving ads, so now unfortunately your site is adblocked.

I like Brad, but sometimes he comes off as a narcissistic princess. If the VC already said 'no', it doesn't hurt at all to ask for a referral, the worst that can happen is they'll again say 'no' or ignore you.

This is some seriously trite advice, and from a spammy site no less, who upvoted this?

I wish the energy being put into the whole 'nosql' movement had moved toward object databases instead of KV stores. KV is fine for caching, but is obviously not suitable for modeling and retrieving data with complex relationships. I think i

Oh please, facebook already had 1/2 the Ivy league signed up and were growing at a fantastic exponential rate before they received an initial investment of 500k in June of 04. A real 'venture' move would have been to fund Zuckerberg _before

VCs, despite what they might claim, are not about innovation or even venture. They function merely as a bank that buys equity, this is identical to the type of banking setup that would finance railroads in the 1800s. I propose a start-up te
