Care to elaborate a little? Is it a mobile app? A niche site?

Would the right answer be niche reporting? Basically sites like Talking Points Memo or Techcrunch where a small but focused group produces quality reporting on a specific niche?

humans are twice as upset about losses as they are happy about wins Any research to back that up? I always thought that was a subjective thing, in that it varies for everyone.

The maverick is starting to sound like a disconnected old coot. Cutting off access to aggregators - Mark feels that this somehow makes the content more valuable and convince readers to come directly to the site. Bullshit. If a site blocks a

I won't. But since they provided the interview, it'd be nice if they provided a transcript as well. A transcript which takes 2 min to read instead of watching an hour long video. Efficiency. Look it up. Or have Mechanical Turk look it up fo

A transcript would be great.

It's surprising watching the up/down votes for jcapote's comment. I assumed it'd be downvoted to -8 within minutes, but it's been swinging back and forth b/w -1 and +2 for the past 15 minutes. So there are others who also wish to see scribd

It's ironic that they questioned Lee's grasp of English while their own tagline says 'one place to all your online stuff'.

Cool idea. Just curious, did you try out for YC Paul?

Fear of corporate espionage perhaps? Netflix seems to have perfected the system, maybe they don't want competitors snooping around. That and ppl asking to drop off/pick up discs at the warehouse.

The entire economy, and especially the advertising industry desperately needs Lamson AMES now, before another major economic collapse destroys the world. Stopped reading after this line.

And a win doesn't matter if you don't collect. Yeah, I get how the semantic circle of logic works. The point is that to get to the money, you have to start with filing a suit. If he filed a suit in the UK, why not throw one up here as well?

It doesn't. There, I told you. In all probability, it's a case of the google voice debacle being the final straw rather than it being the deciding factor.

Winning isn't everything tho (as everyone here seems to agree). Collecting is the issue.

Wonder why Sethi didn't file suit in California as well.

You get all of the same features you have now, unlimited everything, just like now. If only 5 million stayed and paid that amount, thats $25,000,000 a month. But the major draw of facebook, for most people, is that they can keep in touch

Oh believe me, I get that he was joking. My point was that that statement should never be made, even in jest.

1 blogger I would love to see banned from blogging - Robin Wauters. For equating a Crunchie to both the Nobel and the Pulitzer.

Nice idea, but I think it needs a catchier name. Something with a little more zip.

Compete is frequently wrong. For example, techcrunch.com/advertise shows that TC gets over 3MM+ uniques.

Some of these tactics (#8, #9 for e.g.) just show a blatant disregard for communal property, almost to the point of screaming !!SPAM!! Imagine if every single business owner started slapping their business stickers all over town.

A lack of competitors is almost always a bad thing because it means the market you entered doesn't interest anybody else. Completely disagree with this. There are plenty of successful startups that created a whole new niche that didn't ev

Not to mention responsibilities. As a 24 yr old guy, if I put everything on the line and lose - big deal, I can wipe the slate clean and start over. My 34 yr old brother with a wife, 3 kids and a mortgage can't take the same risk as easily

Amitu, is it possible that tweetknots is more than just your 'friends'? Not saying that you are, mind you. Simply asking for clarification. Because if you're part of the team that founded the site and you don't disclose it, that would be r

Andrew, you have a great idea for a site. The only thing missing is transcripts. Asking viewers to watch an hour long interview is way too much (I didn't watch it). Transcripts will go a long way towards making your visitors happy and keepi

Maybe this'll help you understand - Musk is not getting venture capital, he's getting our money.

Ning has been singlehandedly ruined for me by the mylocator.com guy. Thanks to him, it just screams 'SPAM!' everytimg I hear anything about it.
