I like the UI a lot. Curious though, so when i click on Android - it wont let me see the deals? Does that mean i have to actually sign up and wait for the daily emails - or is there a platform that allows me to go on the site and see what

Really?? Have you ever worked with companies like youtern? Internmatch? There are some cool options out there for virtual interns but just unclear if there is less value for both parties?

I have multiple students, with tons of passion, from great schools wanting to work at my company - but i feel like it would be difficult without being able to sit next to the kid and really teach them / explain what we need!

Aren't there a ton of apps that do this, or something very similar. I did a Google search and found a pretty solid top 25 list http://www.solutionwatch.com/450/25-to-do-lists-to-stay-prod... I am just curious how this one stands out?

Robert - not sure i understand the strong negative reaction? Have you had any experience or interaction with these 3 brands? Is there any precedent that would lead you to think we would want names & emails, or have any intent of spammi

Ha! Tampa was one of the BarCamps which inspired this...did you see the post on Grasshopper Group which talked about it? http://grasshoppergroup.com/barcamp-tour-2011-grasshopper-gr...

This shit is really fascinating. One crazy example i have seen is this site which allows you to buy a video recorded from your favorite celebrity. So for instance pay $1000 and get a Justin Bieber autograph and a video of him signing happy

I think this is a bit idealistic. Especially in the entrepreneurial world, with your mind constantly spinning on new ideas. Sometimes it can even be challenging to take the weekend off. The one thing i just love about this is the "Do Som

Why would NYT want to get into this business? Do you think its as simple as: "people dont pay for newspapers anymore, and we know we can use our huge circulation to make money somehow?"

Hey Guys, Interesting article - just tweeted it. While i wouldnt say i am part of the "lean startup cult" - i must say i really like their stance on Pivoting. The Flickr example is a great one, smart companies, the truly smart ones you fin

Have you looked into Charles Schwab? I have a good friend who literally raves about them. He compares their level of banking customer service to that of Zappos retail customer service. That is quite the compliment if you ask me. Might be

I heart Andrew Warner. So would always recommend his interviews. Outside of that...you have to hand it to Wufoo, simple is what wins these days. Take Go Daddy for example...if you were to look at their dashboard for more than 2 minutes yo

I think that is the most important question. How many, or rather what percentage of the free users stayed on 2 weeks after the article? How much other press did you get? When i look at at site (and a lot of Gen Y) I look for at least 3-4

I do not work here. But have a friend who started up a company called Active Interview - they do a really good job with video based interview. They actually allow you to write up a bunch of questions and have your candidates record video r

Thanks man. I find hobbyists aren't fully committed and look at entrepreneurship as "fun". Hustlers, also think and know entrepreneurship is fun...but its in their blood, they can't sleep at night. Or if you are like me...you email yours

You mentioned something that i think is really important: "My age, duration of employment, or who I know shouldn't play nearly as large of a factor as what I'm doing for the company." I have heard this more than almost anything else recen

Jeff could not agree more with #1 - go to as many networking events as you can...as good entrepreneurs will self select. I tend to network 2-3 nights a week in Boston and its quite evident who are the real hustlers and who are the "hobbyis
