I'm biased, but entrepreneur to entrepreneur, here's my honest personal opinion. I won't pay for bookmarking. It's too easy for me to cobble together my own solution, and besides, there is already a lot of bookmarking apps that are free. I

Banning them actually has the opposite effect - aren't we trying to spread democracy? Dictators want their people to be isolated, so that they don't know that there is a better world out there. I won't be surprised if China welcomes Googl

Yup, history shows this works: Twitter was Odeo's side project, Blogger was also a side project of Pyra Labs.

Is this just a side project .. or can you share your vision and plan for this? I like it, but I have to say that I've been using Shelfari for a while and it appears to pretty much do the same thing.

This sales strategy works for higher-end (read: pricier) stuff. It will not work too well for less-pricy stuff, impulse buys, or purchases where the buyer is looking to make a quick decision. Usually when I see a "contact us for a quote" I

One thing not mentioned is the chemistry part. It's kind of a dating game in a sense that you have to like something about the mentor, and the mentor has to take an interest in you somehow. E.g. perhaps you remind him/her when he/she was at

Interesting .. looks like *nix 'file' command reads from start to end, so it detects it as JPG. [09:55:38] jliew@ssdstrdev1:~/malcode $ file some.jpg some.jpg: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01 [09:55:45] jliew@ssdstrdev1:~/malcode $ file

If you don't date at work, it also sucks (romance, not time) :D In all seriousness, people spend a ridiculous % of their lives at work, sometimes it happens, and sometimes it works out!

You have a revenue generator model that's proven and works. Why not do more of it? Scale up?

I use PostRank (what used to be AideRSS) to sift through my piles of hundreds of RSS feeds. Basically some feeds are so high volume that I can say, "give me the top 30% most popular" only and just look at those. There are buckets like "good

Out of pure curiosity, as I'm sure all the startup folks are .. would you mind shedding some light into why you would be ok with your email on Google Docs but not a wiki? We're interested in learning.

Hey guys, no .. it's not me "Jay Liew", although I'm not sure why that would matter. I've watched the flurry of activity and up until this moment people are still editing .. hanging out on the Google Docs. I'm sure it's been a real learning

I see. Basically, the consumers of the content (the people just wanting to see what's on the list) want to be completely 100% anonymous. I wonder how the producers of the content (the people entering their information on the spreadsheet) wo

by jayliew 17y ago
But that is the point of a directory listing of people - people who enter their info want to be found and contacted. If you don't want to be contacted, then don't add your information. I'm not sure what you're suggesting is the problem, but

That's actually an interesting comment, are you an angel investor? For co-founders, everybody wants to pair up .. but for investors and entrepreneurs, the dynamics would appear different, right? In the sense that there's more entrepreneurs

You're welcome! I know I'm scratching not just my own itch, but helping others too .. it's a great feeling. Obviously I got lucky too .. it's not like I coded Google Docs. A reminder that despite all our technical and business talent - luck

I agree, but one techie may not have all the tech skills he/she needs. Front-end expert needs back-end expert (and vice versa). Being an expert in both worlds is not as common. That's true for practically everything in life. But sure, given

If you're going to throw your hat into the co-founder pool with information on how to reach you, I think your Google username is the least of your concerns. Seriously, did you know getting on the interwebs reveals your IP address :p Someone
