   I bought my '74 Westy in AZ, which had been in storage for 20 years. Only dry rot to attend to, which is much easier than the dreaded rust.

   Cool. Though your not a hacker and not an MBA or a designer. Is that your pitch? I'm looking for co-founders in NorCal area too. Right now, my hackers = eLance (i.e. hey, I love the lean start-up method too!)

   Executive team is/was a group of tech insiders with connections. Think they are career Pelago-ists? 1st big lucrative buy out not a surprise. Its a lovely MBA inspired model.

   As a freelancer, I get to work directly with sales reps and franchise owners, so I am making a SaSS for them and so they will be my early adopters. I've already interviewed a dozen or so of my clients and am confident my service will be wel

   could you take a 3 month leave of absence? I would argue to NOT leave your job as most ideas / startups fizzle and fail. Hope your an exception!

    I think this could be a good service. But possibly Flash or something more polished and less spammy. Possibly the tradeoff would be 'Hey, what do you know about us? Pass the test and take 15% off your next order."

    I recently started asking my clients if I could interview them - so I could learn about the sales process (they are sales reps - i provide a one off service for them now). Sales people love to talk, so I spent on average 2 hrs per interview

    that's not true. those are big markets to compete with for small company. Its a strategy decision based on amount of funding you have to attack small or huge markets.

    Mixergy is incredibly valuable. I've started interviewing people in the markets I am hoping to serve and realized how much people want to share and how much an entrepreneur can benefit.

    Why not act as a download middleman so the buyer gets a download now button, and the link to the originator is not shown?

    smashing success! Great idea and awesome execution. I think this sort of 'display my favorites' is wide open for niche products, like maps, for map lovers.

    Flip this 180: "I have been holed up by my self pretty much" I've realized the more social I am the happier and healthier I am. And I do not suggest virtual social methods - I mean face to face, close friends, casual acquaintances, and stra

    there would have to be an app that -with a single click- would migrate an account over to a new site. Certainly FB could block this. Otherwise ppl are too lazy for the most part.

    good point, but comments that hi-jack a thread should be down voted :)

    The answer to what you love to do will come by getting involved in things, one door opens another door. Volunteer, teach, go back to school, etc.

    OK, that's great, thanks. If those points are pitched on the landing page all the better to convert customers I am sure.

    Very good looking product. My question is more business related: What is the benefit to the user of having in online (versus desktop app) and paying monthly (versus one time purchase)?

    You can make a rule to send Twilio's emails to spamn or trash, and still forge ahead with project. Can't let small stuff scuttle your goals or your in for big trouble.

    To each their own. Some people love the social aspect of their profession, and possibly earn less than if they spent more time in sales than in shmoozing with peers, but isn't that the point of working for yourself, doing what you want/havi
