Agree in a general sense. He introduces the list as "...that I see as important to making a new site come together." Not "startup", "site." I could be wrong, but Twitter doesn't need to focus on lead-gen...

Drugs are sooo marketed. Celebrities use drugs. Drugs are used in "cool" movies. You are even informed of the euphoric feeling drugs give you in elementary school. The fact that "cool" kids in high school end up experimenting with drugs f

Are you sure when you say "Co Founder" you don't mean "employee"??? Maybe post to "jobs."

I'd say you're looking up the right avenue, but it may be hard for people on this forum to help you out if you do not have more details about what you're trying to do. Why are you moving to the Bay Area? What's the market segment? What, tec

HA! I love this thought. I hope we can assume that knowledge is infinitely accessible. If not, it may turn out more like "idiocracy" in that initially we build things that suck.

"Reproducing where we are now would in some ways be harder than getting here was.." Opposing factor to speed up these sorts of setbacks is that much of the experimentation/testing would already be done. We'd know the fuel efficiency of c

Why does anyone want a 3D printer? Graphic 3D modeling is easy and useful and I have to guess (based on the tools and practice people get in this day and age) that generation to generation people are improving at picturing abstractions/de

IMHO, this is not a college application. The biggest barrier is not "getting in". Your CV will not be improved by a failed attempt to start a company for 15k. If you are serious about offering the product of your work to the world, the

PG said that the twittergirl had little value and you agreed, nothing personal, just saying I happen to have found value in it. What I will never understand about this community: I get negative Karma for defending an article that was clearl

While I agree with the sentiment, I don't like the example used. I found the twittershouldhireme blog a good lesson: KNOW your audience. That girl was surely noticed by Twitter execs and she did something simple that no one else in her pos

I stopped reading at the Bush comment, not out of offense, but out of disappointment that I was spending my time reading something that lost its dignity (isn't this a perfect example of what he alluded to never doing early in the essay?)

What's really strange is that all this hate gets so much positive karma. Anytime I post something like these guys, I get blasted into the negative. I'd be curious to know the general thought on how often it's appropriate to get yourself in

Jeffrey Gitomer talked about his "business coin" (literally a coin instead of a card) in one of his books. With the advent of products like Evernote, the fact that your card doesn't "file" nicely is no longer an issue.
