abl, you are missing the point. None of the features of the services you mention are "difficult" to do. PageRank is very easy. The scale is difficult, but lots of companies can scale too. How many YouTubes are there? How many social netwo

twitvid.com looks more like twitter than it looks like twitvid.io. twitvid.com also looks more like twitter than twitvid.io looks like twitter. I don't believe twitvid.com copied anything at all from twitvid.io.

Yeah, maybe they have had it built for months now and were just as mad at twidvid.io for copying their idea as the twidvid.io people are now that twitvid.com copied them ... They both copied twitpic didn't they?

Run faster. Work harder. Don't be lazy. Constant improvement. Remember, you aren't building a startup , you are building a company. If you're only building a startup, then just write a few lines of code and push it out. What do you really

How do you create an honest society? Which is easier, DRM that doesn't suck, or consumers who don't "share?" I don't know the answer. I think we are entering an age of consciousness. The realization that we can lie is a natural stage of ma

Well, .. I'll give it a second look. Maybe they know it'll take $100 Million to explain why it is better to people, including me. I can accept that possibility.

Just tonight on 60 Minutes, the chairman of the FDIC said she thinks it would be good if congress considered limiting the size of banks. She said it is not good when a bank gets so big that it can't be allowed to fail.
