"Self-fund on credit cards and a second mortgage" It shouldn't have to come to this. It's so cheap to start a software startup, at least in the initial prototype phase. Most founders already currently have jobs as developers where saving en

I'm not an apple hater but think of it this way...spec out a mbp at 2400 and compare it to a thinkpad with the same specs. Is the case and "industrial design" worth 1200 bucks?

Go out with your team and eat something tasty or drink a couple of nice beers. There should be an endless amount of things to talk about regarding your startup that don't depend on yc. Come back and check your email around midnight, then de

Exactly. Based on that number, it would mean that 95% or more of the social networks are on the ning platform. However I can't name a single one.

Apache Xap and Dojo Toolkit. In addition I have a few things that I've built that I would love to open up. I just haven't found the time to spend to get the last 5% done needed around packaging, clean up etc.

Couldn't agree more. The point about how some startups go from launching on 200k to raising 5mm and then spending 200k a month was right on. After closing a big round of vc funding it's so tempting give yourself a huge raise etc....and so d

ZipCar has been around for almost 10 years. They've had decent success, but I don't see them disrupting the whole car rental biz. If anything, they've carved out a little niche for themselves.

I really feel like it's inevitable that stuff like this is going to catch on in a major way. I think that an app that would allow people to create one-off games and polls could be even more popular. Nice work!

I'm sorry but I disagree. Traveling is certainly something that is worthwhile, but it's hardly the determining factor in one's personal development that you're making it out to be. I've been to a lot of places, and I still value things like
