I think incenting people to review products defeats the whole point of what Amazon has to offer--genuine opinions about products from actual users. As mentioned above, no other e-commerce site has volume of reviews that Amazon has and few

FWIW I finally bought a Kindle this week and the software and device portability really didn't factor into my decision. I still fail to understand how people are able to read books on their phones. My eyes start hurting after a couple of mi

Isn't this an issue with the carriers and not Skype? In the US, Skype is currently available for Android devices on Verizon's network.

For those unfamiliar with a PCR box ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCR ), think of it as a photocopier for DNA--by creating copies, the DNA can be visualized through other tools like a gel box ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gel_electrophore

The reason this is a natural move is deal curation (2:15). Groupon and similar sites lack the credibility that Gilt has established. When Gilt recommends a deal, users will assume that it has been thoroughly researched and vetted. I can't

Accounting frequently makes these lists, but if we're talking about Big 4 auditing/tax, I'd say it's highly misleading. Being expected to work significant overtime with no compensation results in a much lower effective salary.

Find the overlaps between your side project and your day job. I've done that and it's really helped--each hour spent on the overlaps makes me look good at work (since I'm engaged) and also helps me move closer to accomplishing goals with my

Thank you. It amazes me how aggressively technical founders try to find sales/bizdev folks, when domain/industry knowledge is this massive void waiting to be filled (and would help sales efforts immensely whether it be with the product of

Does anyone know what this means for affiliate links in tweets? Are they only going after big players like Ad.ly, or is this touching everyone?

No question that 1.6MM could definitely buy much more exposure (the end goal of this exposure being customer acquisition and sales). Don't get me wrong, they did the right thing--however, this is no "happy accident".

Etsy tapped into one of the most passionate communities out there, which happened to be on eBay not by choice, but by necessity. If you want to find opportunities, I'd say look at who is using eBay, Amazon, etc. (as a platform) out of neces

Does Typekit have any advantages over Google? Google has better infrastructure, a simpler impelentation (no signup required), and a budget to license a wider variety of fonts.

From my perspective, I like having an exit button, particular for services that do some sort of push notifications (e.g. if I'm using Google Talk or Skype, I want to ensure I don't continue to receive messages on my phone after I exit). Pan

The problem with the sales pitch is I don't know how much insight Groupon has into the long-term lift they'll give customers (i.e. how much historical data do they have?). Groupon's pricing seems like it would have to be a stab in the dark

Assuming your travel blogging site is the one listed in your profile. If that's the case, you should be making way more than a $1.35 a day (~2K uniques per Compete and nearly sub 100K Alexa). I'm sure you don't want to plaster your site w

Fascinating prediction and I can see it happening, but 3-12 months is way too ambitious IMO. I'm not familiar with the inner-workings of the business, but I think they are still pretty lean, and their open reqs don't seem to indicate any p
