Nicely written blog! Agree with the author that academia sometimes focusses on a very narrow band of research topics, which might or might not improve end user experience. Also, agree with the author that personalized news has very interest

When a deal appears for a business on Groupon, people buy those deals that day and visit that business later on. That's what I meant by "cash up front". Yes, I agree with you that barrier to entry is very low. However, Groupon has so many b
