I would love to see learn Google App Engine the Hard Way. I'm trying to develop on it and it seems too big. I'd little bite sized chunks like this to digest at my own pace!

The Hollywood guys are giving you good advice, but their wrong about the reason. I wouldn't go after the movie industry. It's something I don't understand and something you probably don't either. However, you need to dominate a niche. I

If you can do this, I'd use the website. Maybe it's a pivot point. Here's what I'd like to see: 1. A list of every video related to Gary V, Seth Godin, Alexis, etc, on the web. Start with big names and then tag these videos. 2. Now that t

I think too, that I have some job requirements that probably are unique too like working remote and wanting to work at most 35 hours, but much rather in the 20 hour range per week. Maybe a reverse job application is the way to go?

Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate the inbound marketing stuff. I focused on that sort of thing in the SpiderOak email, and thanks for pointing out that's where I need to stay focused.

My father told me to be really smart. When I was a child I read volumes and volumes of histories of the united states, children's encyclopedias, regular encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc, etc. At some point the reading has to end. The lea

I don't know if this would work or not, but this is what I would try. 1. I'd start a blog called gatsbypicks.com or something like that. Then I would take 1-4 hours everyday and just write and analyze a start up. I'd tear apart their comp

"lent once" as far as I can tell hasn't been defined as "lent once and only once" or "lent once every 14 days" Have you seen any clarification for this?

You need to offer an importer/uploader. If I had to pay more for a service that offered an uploader, I would. You have a few barriers you need to eliminate. Trust/Reputation -- How can you get them to trust you after they've just be in an

1. Make it possible for them to take the survey in less than 60 seconds. 2. Only ask questions you actually care about (and have the power to do something about). If someone isn't active on the website or doesn't find it useful, they proba

IANAL. I think we'll actually see more and more pen names and aliases as people try to brand themselves. Basically, just pick a name and go with it. I have mrnoahc.com and noahc.net. I want to brand my self as one of those two. I think m

I also come from a blue-collar family. When I applied to college, I didn't even know that you should have a backup school. I thought you applied to college and either you got in or you didn't.

I look at it as how is my time best spent. I could send a default resume/cover letter to 100 companies in the time it takes me to send 2-3 well crafted cover letters to companies I'd actually like to work for. It's the "Penis Craig's list

I think you're going about it all wrong. If a job is listed on a job aggregator website, I assume its garbage. Here's what I would do. Pick n (5? 10? 15?) companies you'd like to work for. Then research them all until you know everythin

A lot of it depends on your goals. Are you wanting to build the next reddit, google or Facebook? You'll probably need VC money to do that. Are you trying to build a lifestyle business that pays 20-30k the first year and could grow after th

I wouldn't look at this as binary. You have more options here. You need to target bloggers, who look like they might be up and coming. I'd even target a specific niche. Basically, go to them, and say, "If I can get six of you signed up,

You didn't really give us a lot of information. I'll assume you have a chicken and egg problem. Relying on media for anything is not a good strategy. 1. Divide your users into to chicken and egg categories. Build an egg plant! Build a w

From an interviewees standpoint, the point of the an interview is to introduce a narrative about your self. So, first decide how you want your self to be portrayed and work backwards. Are you a rags to riches golden boy, are you Mr. Accom

I see two main ways to monetize it. If it's calling you or texting you, you should be able to text an advertisement or leave a voicemail as an advertisement. I'd also consider telling jokes or something that gets people to spread the servi
