As someone who's also trying to build out a blog network as well, I'm glad that investors are finally coming round to financing blogs. They may be commodity businesses, but all that means is that super strong execution will carry

Facebook's game is to show that they can act on the grand old online media promise: that they first get loads of users, then later they can turn on the revenue streams and the cash comes pouring in. Facebook is living up to this promis

The hard part of qualifying is actually not that people will lack the time, but people feel guilty about financially profiling people superficially. Just check the recent Oprah scandal. It could be said that the sales girl was 'qualify

Actually patio11 makes most of his cash from his personal consulting gigs, rather than his lifestyle businesses[1] and thus he falls into the category of people who make money advising you how to make money, which treads the scammy line in

I think a lot of the blowback Sam gets around here can actually be attributed to you presenting him as your "favourite founder" when its not apparent to the rest of us what makes him so great.

Snapchat is clearly built to sell, and this round is all about getting more experienced VCs on board to shop it to their buddies in the large tech companies. Comments like these usually get deleted by the VC moderators of HN, so you can cop

There is value in buying into a network of users, but it is in no way worth 100X multiples of sales. Since such deals usually happen within the Silicon Valley ecosystem, I strongly suspect that cronyism is involved. VCs in Yahoo decide to d
