This needs to be more than just a service. You need to think about about the psychology of it all. I come across words all the time that I don't know, but I don't look them up. I have plenty of excuses why not, but those don't matter. J

Another approach is build a community that either producers or promoters would want to be a part of. I'm not sure how that would look, but basically, you get one side to show up and then pitch to the other saying, you need to see what thes

Just to add more points to the dataset. I've used my laptop on a linksys, checkpoint, two different rebranded qwest routers. Has anyone had such problems and then everything magically worked when switching to an apple airport express or ai

I think in general the processor speed, hard drive size, etc, etc. are all 'good enough' to do about anything 99% of startups want to do. Part of this is probably just being pragmatic and not thinking 3 CPU generations ahead. Mobile capabi

Okay, awesome. I think its an awesome project for learning. You'll get community development, coding, marketing, databases, ad words experience. I would be surprised if you make much money off of it. pg warns against the music business, an

This is more marketing related, but I'd find a type of music that has rabid fans and little in way of lyrics online. I'd find their preferred forum and frequent it, and try to build a community tool that they can use to make lyrics for the

In general, you should rent as long as possible. This allows you to focus on your product, unless, your product is web hosting. There are however, three reasons, why you might consider buying over renting. 1. Cost -- Renting is more expens

I have experience with TimeForce, and it was pretty easy from an IT perspective. We used a digital punch in box, and then had it networked back to our main office from two locations. The technological challenge is already solved. You could

You haven't talked about anything you've done to act on this desire. Have you made e-mail pitches to 10 - 15 people/companies offering your services? What type of reception or feedback did you get from that?
