Promising but one huge issue in mind: You have developed a broad service and there is nothing wrong with that. But you need to focus on one particular vertical to grow. Let me explain why. As you will discover the challenge is not in develo

I have sympathy for this guy but look nobody promised you a job when you took on those loans. It is basic risk reward. You took on a lot of loans to get a law degree because lawyers get paid well. You took on risk and it did not work out. H

And by doing that you will have perverted the meaning of the book. It is a great book but the main lesson there is to observe, learn and act. In that order. Not to follow a prescribed formula.

Regardless of if he is a moron or not... He made a mistake. Haven't we all at some point? He admits his guilt and apologizes. That is more than most people. (the Palin woman's spokesperson saying those are not gun-sights for example).

You have a nice design. But I rarely share my facebook login with third parties just because of all the 'see contact list and this and that etc.'I think that insisting on it creates a barrier to entry for you. On my site I discovered that h

Aaah.. the subtle sexist bias even in Marissa comes through. From the article: Indeed, Mayer invokes her mother a lot, which makes sense, given her steadfast devotion to the ease of the end user.

You need to find a sane partner to get started. Holding onto a dream is hard because there is nobody to fan the embers in the moments you lose hope.

Sorry but this is lame and derivative. Good for you that you made some money but posting it to drive traffic to your site is even worse. I hope that somebody who has powers to do so downvotes you.

Send his note to your friends and friends of friends. Disseminate it widely. It will send the message that people care. Somebody you know may be dealing with something similar.

Kinda ironic how the author is trapped in the same mindset: He talks about the national debt and then wonders what it can buy and figures out that it would be a bunch of cars and a lot more ipods. Guess what kiddo? That's what the debt boug

Wow. It boggles the mind that somebody, a physician no less, would jeopardize children all over the world for half a million dollars. It is beyond comprehension.

Death is not zero. Death is a lack of growth. Large multiple are only justified under the assumption of a growing market. Stable/declining markets do not have a 25x multiple.

Wait till they bring the economy down again and the smart talented people at GS ask for a bailout. Besides how would you short shares in a privately held company?

Depends. Precisely you need a histogram of customer/company. So you will know how many companies have <5 customers, how many 5-10 etc. Using this info you can build a quick model to decide how you want to go. There are other factors tho

I think that they are circumventing SEC regs on 500 of shareholders for privately held companies. GS could sell the stake to HNW but for the SEC it would appear that only GS is a shareholder. So basically they get away with all the reportin
