Thanks Chuck! I'm glad it was helpful and it was your tweet that really provided the thesis for the article.

Thanks! Figuring out a startups story is often the most difficult part of the entrepreneurial journey, and can take weeks, months or even years. With Burbn, they began with a very different story, but over time it changed into what became I

1) Lyft drivers operate similar to a taxi and wait around until they are summoned via the app to give someone a ride. 2) It's not helping the environment more than cabs, and probably does more damage than cabs. I've seen a Ford F-350 Superd

Taxi drivers are professionals, Lyft drivers are amateurs. I'm not being rude, but that's what they are. Taxi's are under strict regulation and guidelines, and require a medallion to operate. Lyft drivers constantly get lost, take the slowe

I love Lyft and have been using the service for almost a year now, but they've gotten greedy with their pricing model. About once a month I'll take a Lyft home from work, and the same ride has steadily become more expensive. What once coste

Thanks! Look for the next article sometime next week. I'm going to discuss taking a products story, and turning it into a product flow.

Apple dropped from $600 to $440 during the same time period.

Or it's two great CEO's at work. Larry Page has been doing quite well with Google and it's unfair to conclude market forces are the reason.

I don't understand how entrepreneurs expect to sell their business and reap the rewards while not expecting the acquirer to make modifications to their own benefit.

"I negotiated for myself a role as the "Chief architect of Symantec's Mac strategy." If you have to negotiate a made-up role for yourself during the acquisition of your own company, it's clear the company sees no value in your input and o

If they acquire the company, they'll need to monetize it which is a significant visible change. Tumblr's core demographic is notorious for responding to advertising very poorly, and the founder is clearly disinterested and clueless when it

Agreed. The icon is as generic as it gets, and feels really cheap. I'm surprised they didn't stick with their other app icon branding, which is a solid color with a white icon.

I've been using recently launched http://fjords.cc . Fjords paired with DNSimple.com has been a dream setup compared to what I previously used (Amazon S3 with Godaddy for domains).

The list was difficult to sort though, but I was able to find http://www.premii.com/hn which is a great web client, and an even better mobile client.

It was when she was 13, not 4. At 13 she is certainly capable of understanding her environment, how she's being raised, and realize she's being raised differently than her friends.

Wow, blaming the user? That's low. Just like in customer service where the customer is always right, in web development the user is always right. It's not the users fault they didn't see some text, it's YOUR fault.

They're a startup that's experimenting with different pricing models. If a plan they introduce isn't financially viable, it's unrealistic to expect them to continue to honor it otherwise they would drive themselves out of business b/c of fa

Great start here, I like what you've done. Some feedback for improvement: 1) I would break the page up into multiple pages. Keep the homepage simple and let the user click ancillary links if they need to. 2) It says the printing is done in

That would be the summation of their blog posts. It's easier to search for and access blog posts that are around specific topics as opposed to longwinded novels covering several processes.

People said the same thing about box cutters prior to 9/11. The Flight Attendants Union Coalition is against this too, so there is plenty of objection.

"5. Foursquare will fail by the end of the year." They never really did much with the product. It could have been a great competitor to Yelp, but they stuck with the check-in concept for far too long.
