I believe their results page is largely automated based off of Crunchbase data. From what I understand it's not necessarily their metrics, but just the ones that people ask about and are fairly easy to access. (Particularly since what you

And that the first month of TechStars is a lot of back-and-forth, matching startups with mentors and mentors with startups. Where all three months of YC is build, build, build. (And getting ready to demo.) To stretch an academic metaphor

Nope. Neil is CEO of Red Gate Software, and an angel investor. (And just a really good guy, too.) He's been teaching himself to draw for a year or so, thus the format. :)

This might be an over-reaching DMCA request by CBS. I don't understand why he doesn't fill in the online form that's in the e-mail to say they're over-reaching. Just because there's a bunch of legalese involved doesn't mean it's not strai

There are a bunch of Developer Advocates that are based in Google's London office. They do fairly regular office hours at London's TechHub space, work with UK teams, and in general are active in the city/country. So while there might not b

Also Simmery and Memamp. According to my notes, Infogami ended up merging with Reddit as well as one persome from Memamp. Firecrawl became TextPayMe which was acquired by Amazon. Kiko sold on eBay after Google Calendar launched. Details

It sounds like that it's not a "Panic" button that pilots need, but a "Filter" button. Where if you've got 10 alarms going off, the "Filter" shows you the 1 or 2 alarms that matter most and need immediate action. Certainly the computation

Even if track changes has been turned off, you can do a comparison between two documents that results in a redlined document. Not sure what this does other than make a pretty redlined document.

Leaders set the direction and the tone of the organization. In a previous career, I was in the Navy. When our Commanding Officer (CO) changed, it was clear that leaders can dramatically affect their teams. We went from an A- CO to a C-

I'm a former Navy submarine officer. While this idea is nice, it's a marginal risk factor. It's difficult to detect a wake, and you can only detect them when a submarine is near the surface. What really matters is being quiet. Noise tra

re your 2), I was in the Navy for six years, and now work at Google. There's virtually no comparison at all. Sure there's a bit of what you might call "bureaucracy" at Google, but only enough to keep things from going off the rails, and p

Um, I think all of the Google people interviewed have gone out of their way to say it isn't a "Facebook competitor". I assume this is just a copy-editor at the NYTimes who sees it that way.

I mentioned this down-thread, too, but while it might not be terribly useful for any of us directly, the feedback the Docs team gets from users could be very valuable when it comes to prioritizing development of new features. So you could t

Based on what I read from the thread, it's more the case that the Docs team is using it to get the pulse of what people want from Google Docs, than necessarily promoting anything. (Or even directly answering certain questions.) The top que
