Definitely makes a difference for me... John Gruber has made the point over and over that "Ads are content" (link: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2010/05/17/ads-mule )

I really like this. Do you have the ability to bring smaller destinations in to the mix as well? (E.g., Moab, Aspen, Zacatecas, Mendoza, etc.) I agree that there are too many questions. Ideally, I'd like one page of questions, with options

Funny -- I always thought of Borders as a "bookstore for people who like books" compared to B&N, which I consider a "bookstore for people who don't like books." Neither holds a candle to, say, The Tattered Cover, but unfortunately there

I called the late-90s tech bubble (ask my friends and family!), and I called the last decade's housing bubble (ask my wife!). This doesn't make me Nostrodamus, but it does give me more confidence in my ability to see (really big picture) ma

Long ago (~2002) when I lived in Beijing, a vendor at the city's Silk Market had Nokia-brand socks on offer. I suspected they were fakes. The Marlboro-brand shirts were decent, though...

Try tackling new problems, don't be afraid to fail, and travel. You're young -- keep your mind open.

Amazing how recommending one of your competitors (even for only certain use cases) makes my impression of your brand that much higher. Thank you!

Some constructive criticism: Without logging in, there is hardly any information (beyond marketing language). The latest blog post appears to have been November 18, 2010. Just below the title there's the default "Your Awesome Tagline" as a

They initially recruited some really good (especially for social networks) "experts" who made the content a cut well above your run of the mill social Q&A site. Early adopters were intrigued by this early high-quality community. "Less e

Linkbait headline. The "long tail" is still very much out there. As slapshot notes, Etsy has opened up a completely new "long tail" that shows no sign of slowing down. As is, say, airBnB...

Excellent analysis. Plus, where are you finding "fish curry" in Gyantse?! When I think of Tibet, I think of... fish? curry? The ad fails on so many levels...

I'm tackling this problem at my startup, ParkGrades.com, by: 1. Seeding the site with as much quality information as I possibly can (given my limited resources); 2. Incenting users to add content through giveaways; 3. Testing the giveaways
