“I spoke with a kid from Columbus, Ohio, who dreamed of being a high school teacher. When he found out he’d have to move to Arizona or the Sunbelt, he took a job in a Columbus tire factory.” Perhaps this is also why working at Foxconn - mig

Yes, WordPress requires a database; but when has this been an issue for business people, real bloggers, etc. to find a decent host with database support? Sure, Jekyll sounds like a more efficient solution, but most people don't have a "pain

Sure thing. You seem like a very enthusiastic and detail oriented guy - I'm sure you'll create something cool for us to check out soon.

Why not build something more useful than a blog then? Reinventing the wheel seems like a poor use of time.

Yeah, I think you're missing the point of running a blog. A blog is about producing and publishing content. It's not thinking about scaling when there's absolutely no need for it. If one has something worthwhile to say, then spending anyth

What am I missing here? WordPress lets you build a blog in 5 minutes.

I actually put this on my website a long time ago. I'm still not sure if anyone else is using it for a real, production website. http://www.easyautosales.com/register

Sorry, but do you even remember the days before Bootstrap where developers come to showcase their work? Most of their crap are severely under-styled. Some forms in admin sections don't even have labels because the developers knew what the

I think the term you're looking for is "a la carte." Nickel and dime sounds terrible. Anyway, I'm personally a fan of subscription based services but monthly, not annually. People seem to forget annual subscriptions (except for domain names

I would buy it and I do think it will hit $800 or even up to $1,000 if it doesn't split. Why? In addition to all the exciting products they're putting out, they are JUST starting to get into the iPhone 4/4S business in China. The market ov

I think it's fair to say many of us start building things for fun in our spare time and hope it'll go somewhere. The risk is pretty high if you're only going zero or 100 and nothing in between. As for what level of traction you need, this

Honestly, just try opening the fridge door every once in awhile. The rest of us dig into it multiple times a day and an app would be completely pointless.

I agree with many of the other encouragements said here but I also want to add, think of a new, original idea. The photo space really IS way over saturated. Build something that makes a difference and improve peoples' lives.

If you're an introvert and charge your batteries by being alone, then find a way to do that without worrying about your day-to-day stresses. For me if I'm getting too zonked out, I end up in StarCraft II pissing myself off by playing with n

Haha - I know what you mean. I feel like if you have TOO much of these qualities you become un-hireable because you're probably a closet entrepreneur and many companies don't like that.

NDA is not the same as non-compete, or am I wrong on this?

I don't mind seeing the same stories pop up in the feed on the next page as long as the link works. Let's be real here, these are links to blog posts, and new projects. It's not like someone's going to get killed if we see a repeated headl

I'm not sure Facebook 'Like' have any SEO benefit since it is a Javascript/iFrame load and Facebook doesn't control a search engine, therefore they have no clout in search. I would always recommend people to Like my Facebook page for engage

So in order to link/associate the accounts, the user would need to be logged in to at least one of the authentication methods? I guess there's no way to connect them otherwise...

Sadly, I don't think any of them are popular with the general public; even big names like foursquare and possibly Zaarly.

LOL - I'm convinced this is why so many of Google's lab stuff are stuck in beta. The cool parts have been built but nobody wants to finish the last 20% that takes up 80% of the time. =)

You've detailed why those startups failed, but I don't think you've touched on whether you've learned anything from your failures. Maybe the time period went by too fast but it seems like you kept making the same mistakes over and over aga

Most startups fail because the serial entrepreneur build stuff they think people need but would never use themselves. It's not as easy as just researching what potential customers may need. If YOU are not that potential customer, then you w
