You gotta give him credit tho. As unbelievably annoying as he can be, he's got ppl talking about his yet-to-be-launched startup on other sites and whats more, have his startup's name actually be recognised! I prefer http://venturebeat.com/

slew of accusations ? One blog accused them of sharing data. Three months later, that same blog added another accusation that they're basically lying. That's like 1.5 accusations. Hardly a slew.

Ok, so it's basically half and half. Now what?

Wierdly enough, the original last.fm story also broke late friday night. Is there a reason for the timing? Other than coincidence of course.

Am I the only one who thinks the comic book superhero motif for the intro pitch on the homepage is way too cheesy? Clean that up to something a lot more professional (and attractive) and it can be a big boost in getting people to sign up.

I was talking specifically about countries like India where users consume a lot of bandwidth, thereby resulting in a double whammy (it's not just the 'y' that goes down, 'x' also goes up) I guess I should have been clearer in the distinctio

If I was running Hulu, I would do the exact same thing. A user costs Hulu 'x' amount of dollars in terms of bandwidth and Hulu makes 'y' dollars off that user via ads. In the US, x < y. In developing countries, x > y. Two reasons -

Love it! Can we add this as a subset of an existing blog? So the readers can meet and talk on the P2 subsection while the main blog content still exists.

That's because you're already on the full article page. If you saw it on the main page of the blog, it'd make perfect sense, since the full pic isn't featured on the main page. Basically, the phrase 'blah-blah after the jump' should be remo

Hey Ramit, I didn't mean to offend you. My apologies if you were. It was the smug attitude that really got me to comment. Still, I stand by my point - there are so many ways for people to offer concrete help for people in need and all I'm s

I never said people shouldn't build their skillset. Of course we should broaden our skillset. What I said was it's one of those incredibly obvious truisms that we're taught from the age of 4. So merely stating it doesn't help 'Ryan' in any

Build skills before you need them Oh ok, then I'll win the lottery, trip over a cure for cancer and land inside a supermodel. That has to be one of the most vapid pieces of advice I've ever heard. It reeks of quintessential motivational-s
