Putting backgrounds on my English essays in school, with Creative Writer, got me extra marks. Back then, different fonts weren't used at all. Now, we have more fonts than we can shake a stick at, but still no easy way for lay people to acce

As the founder of a London-based property start-up, I'd advise reversing the question: what are you offering the agent that is worth paying for? Once you identify that, you can calculate how much it is worth to them. For example, our auctio

Hey Boxyroom, The link seems to redirect away from the post and straight into an email collector on the homepage. But this aside, it's nice to see yet another start-up tackling the fact real estate transactions are less Amazon and more queu

Interesting to read such polar views about Meteor. At Wigwamm, we wanted to build a user experience that was simple. A real-time auction and an auction catalogue full of full screen photographs. We discussed at length whether Meteor would a

If the likes of Flipboard find a way to bring offline advertisings margins and reach to online advertisers, then maybe. But the reach of events like the upcoming Superbowl just have no parallel of hysteria and trust in the online world. We,

If you have that original hard disk, have you thought of using recovery software to see if fragments of your file still exist?

Interesting point about privacy. Does anyone else have similar concerns? I am of the opinion that life is too short to worry, plus people generally aren't able to steal ideas. Execution is always very different. Look at the Xerox-Apple-Micr

Congratulations. As others have said below, this is pretty, but not solving a problem people have. The data sucks; solve the sucky data problem and you'll have something incredible. Good luck.

Are you guys going to market to agents? Or is OpenRent another tech agent trying to undercut others?

A London-based start-up is working on future-facing CVs. The premise is you say what you're going to do, and then do it. Over time you build up something stronger, with social proof. It's called WikiCV: http://WikiCV.me

You're kidding me, right? Currently, you would be taxed 40% of that 100k. So immediately you would only have 60k. Whatever you do with that: spend it, invest it, you only start with 60k, even though your earned 100k. And most likely, you wi

Currently Amazon and Google earn a lot of money in the UK. Yet they pay almost no tax, because only profits are taxed. Under this system, both corporates will pay 3% on all UK based revenue, so that they pay the same proportion as everyone

Yes, you're right that this is shift of tax burden on the wealthy. But wrong on the avoidance... how would you avoid property ownership?

So currently £340bn of tax is taken from people. At the moment it is all in the form of income taxes. With my proposal, we allow people to keep vastly more income (and therefore spend more). The intention is: Low-middle class pay much less
