Of course you can. Once the Internet reaches 51% penetration, you don't think we'll be able to benefit from the network effects of connecting part (all just isn't going to happen...) of the last 49% of the planet.

It depends--there's no good answer since it didn't happen, but regulation can be a good thing. It created incentives to build out the types of networks that require massive cap-ex (cellular, TV broadcast). If no one built these in the firs

Would it be possible to "open-source" an operating agreement so that we can actually work these things into our own?

It's "Stanford" buddy. Why do so many people put a D in there?

Google didn't have any "real" revenue for the first couple of years either... Facebook's only been around for about 3 years. Give it time.

Agreed. It's logical too. Most high schoolers and college students have a very small network of friends, acquaintances, family, etc. (in relative terms). Once you get into the real world, you have to deal with people all over the place, oft

Andrew Frame came to speak at one of my classes at Stanford. He's intense and it seemed like he knew exactly what he was doing and where he wanted Ooma to go in a very Steve Jobs kind of way. I think this has the potential to be quite disru

I know another startup that was faced with a similar issue (they have since been acquired, proving that this does, indeed, work)--they decided to split it 49.9/50.1 with the person who thought of the idea first getting the majority. Natural

I forget where I heard about it, but one PG liked a lot was this guy who wrote that he'd devised something algorithmic for wiping after dropping the kids off at the pool. It involved lotion and toilet paper, maybe someone else remembers bet

I've heard some people propose that it will be 3-dimensional. Apparently some government agencies have created their own Intranets in 3D claiming it makes it easier to find stuff (not sure if I believe this or not...). If it's true, though,

I think BlackBerry users would beg to differ. I've seen some people typing pretty darn fast on those things, and I wouldn't have thought it possible. It's all about habituation.

I think this is great area to build something in. Highrise is good, but it's geared more towards CRM than PRM. I think you've got the right idea from the cursory look I took at your site. The UI needs a bit of work, but I'm sure you'll get

Thanks, this is almost exactly what I was looking for. I should have known to check 37signals ;)

Yeah, I have the same problem...I need this more for people that aren't on Facebook. A FB platform act like this would probably incredibly useful in like 10 years once most of a person's contacts are using online social networks, but the bu

Does anyone know of a web app for personal relationship management?

I agree, although Google's goal is to create a searchable directory of the world's information, right? Are personal relationships information? I think they are represented that way online, or at least on Facebook. It's not the best comparis

$9.80! I think it's still like $6 here in MD. What if you factor in the expected value of cashing out on your equity?

I like the metaphor. Perhaps without meaning to you've also explained one of the reasons it's attractive to take VC funding. Working those 3 years without pay really sets you back, but if you're getting a competitive salary, it doesn't and

...yet. If all the college (and now graduate) students on Facebook start using the service as a recruiting tool, then I can see it being a real threat to LinkedIn.

I agree, I don't think most of the comparisons out there are apt, other than the fact the two companies are both at the center of IPO speculation in the valley. Granted I'm still in college, but my Facebook profile and my LinkedIn profile a

I'm curious to hear why you think LinkedIn is broken... It seems to be working pretty well for a lot of people.

I'm in a very similar situation, I'd like to think we complement the hardcore hacker pretty well (especially since I also love the business side of things). If I recall correctly, PG did say that every team should ideally have a developer,

The general point of the article is spot on. I've heard that it's getting harder to retain top talent first hand from a lot of corporate recruiters. I think the only problem with the article is this part: "Many young people want their own b
