I somewhat agree that "normal" folks won't notice - at least they wouldn't specifically mention anything about stock photos (and these don't look terribly "stocky" compared to others). But, overall the trust or incentive to take the next st

That's a really good point I hadn't considered - diving into Q&A deeper. When boards were announced I was not a fan at all and don't use them. Your suggestions would definitely fit better, imho.

Being in my early 30s, it's pretty funny to think about someone in college today taking notes about the late 90s. It doesn't make me feel old...yet.

I'm curious if you found a local pro photographer or diy because the photos look outstanding. They definitely provide a huge level of credibility from my perspective.

I'm curious if you've reached out to the big players in the textbook oligopoly before this? As to their lawsuit, good luck. I never understood why my books were so expensive (early 2000s). Of course if you're using the chapter titles of the

I've used this tool but not yet purchased any of the favorites I saved. I knew a few domains I wanted to buy so went to LDS and opened up the link to the registrar from there so hopefully credit was given (can't freeload). Only thing I'd ch

So far the comments seem to be negative. Just want to say congrats to Pete Cashmore. I don't know him and don't really read Mashable. But, I'm sure him and his team have put years of their lives into making Mashable a success. When he first

Just went through the process. I'm glad that you can take a few cracks at the video before you choose to upload it. Overall, people's opinions will be colored by how employers use the process. If a company wants a bunch of work done for fre

I know what you mean about bootstrap. On the other hand, nobody I know would have any idea what it is. One of my friends the other day who wants to do a startup had no idea what Wordpress is. I had to pretend not to be completely floored, l

Seth expands on his thoughts in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKArupEBE6Y Now in all seriousness, of course the focus should be on product. But having a ton of relationships to leverage doesn't hurt if the end goal is the suc

Agreed. Unfortunately, for better or worse, this is often the type of personality that leads an organization. That "salesy" personality really rubs me the wrong way but it can somehow work on enough people and create enough excitement/momen

Agreed. This is a good deal for someone like me who wouldn't want to spend $35k, nobody knows me and I could take a flier on some random guys. But, if I'm a famous comedian, I'm looking for someone I can trust who has done this type of work

Before I even finished going through this I used a tip to increase readability on a blog by putting more space between paragraphs and the next header (slides 106-108).

The fact that the author previously worked at Microsoft himself leads him to draw all sorts of (potentially false) conclusions about this engineer.

by jcc80 15y ago
"He thought that he could talk to me and see what they are and if there’s a match, but also learn a thing or two about startups." I missed the part where, "Pete", the Microsoft Engineer asks this guy for all his sage advice.

Great, now I'll have to stop using this tool. Rapportive is great, but who knows how long before I'll have to opt out of LinkedIn putting my photo next to ads or something crazy like that. Not that a company would ever do something so audac

Congrats - looks great and learning Ruby well enough in 8 weeks to build this is inspiring. Another reminder that there is no excuse to not learn myself. Good luck.

That's interesting. I've always tested as an ENTJ ("The Executive or Field Marshall). Lately I've been under a lot of stress as my startup has gotten zero traction and something needs to give soon, because I'm hungry (for food!). Anyways, I

Given he is the CEO, I think he's making many more non-technical hires such as Operations, Sales and Marketing folk. The secret sauce is that he's getting info that the candidate hasn't presented himself or hasn't cherry picked people to pr

You say Brian only contacts people he already knows but the article clearly states otherwise. "The hardest part used to be finding someone that had worked with the candidate somewhere along the line, but LinkedIn has made that easy. It will

Maybe you don't value $300 sneakers and see it as wasteful? I do. But, I'm sure this guy would shake his head at someone buying a $2,000 laptop (or something like that) when there is one for $1,000 that is "just as good."

I think they do. But, I also think you're probably smart enough to know what I meant.

Obviously I thought it was called for. Some people are criticizing because it's "illegal" and therefor wrong. Someone below brought up how GrubWithUs illegally inserted flyers into daily papers and they were praised for being scrappy. Anoth

Just because the market is distorted doesn't mean they aren't entrepreneurs. We all know some laws are written/influenced by industry to protect industry. Maybe your parents told you never to break the law but, laws are written by men. They

Some of the comments here are really disappointing. Can't believe some people here are focusing on the fact that it's illegal to sell candy on the subway instead of this guys' hustle and trying to drag him down. Good to see the worlds curre

This is so awesome!!! I love it! My apologies to the community for little substance here, but having a choice between just AT&T & Verizon would be terrible for us consumers long-term. My sister's BF just got a T-Mobile phone and I w

Yes, the fatigue of everyday people (including my own) to these types of things is disappointing. Who can keep up with all the funny cat videos out there though...

While it's clear SOPA isn't going anywhere, my concern is that the "next" SOPA won't be so extreme and hence, the outrage will be muted. All they need is a foothold to build off of. Luckily they were dumb this time and tried to go big.
