This is a good list, but if you're a startup founder you generally only need to know 1% of each of these books. Don't buy them all. If you had to choose 3 books from that list, what would they be?

You don't get why a bookmark syncing service needs venture capital, employees, a CEO and what not? Web applications don't just grow on trees ...

Am I the only one that is entirely moot about being an introvert / extrovert? It makes no difference if I spend a few weeks constantly socializing, or a few weeks entirely on my own.

This is the most offensive thing I've ever read on Hacker News. Seriously - you're not just talking about another person, you're talking about one person in a fairly small community who will read this !!!!

I believe Facebook has at least 6 business models in operation today, including: * ads in margin * special paid for groups * sponsored likes (these are discussed in Kirkpatricks book of Facebook - and here: http://www.quora.com/Facebook-1/

No offense but have you taken more companies public than: * Marc Andreessen * Jim Breyer * Peter Thiel because they are some of the directors on the Facebook board, and I think they know their stuff.

How can you "not detect" a business model for a company that has revenues of over a billion dollars? seriously?

There's no doubt Facebook will IPO eventually. I imagine a lot of the employees could and probably have cashed some shares out in previous rounds. I'm sure VCs are happy to wait for their IPO (they can probably raise funds just by saying th

Why does this look like a new bubble? Why wouldn't Twitter raise billions in a public offering? Their growth prospects are every web or mobile phone user - in any country - to use their service. The amount of attention Twitter has from its

Dreaming. If you can snap up a team of smart developers for $1M cash each + $200k/year salary for 4 years, that can have a large impact on your product road map. Say you're, for example, Apple looking to push out iOS 4.1 for iPad, and you a

Not sure why anyone but yourself is to blame, and I think it would have been nice for Heroku to give you a discount then, after this post they should go quiet and let you pay. I think this post is bad form.

Uhm. Data loss is a huge deal. HUGE. This isn't an evil feature. It isn't a pointless feature. In fact it's a critical feature in the running of an organisation. Email. Calendar. Address Book. A gold mine of absurdly sensitive data. If you
