To me "luck" is like the word "love", the moment you start using it to describe things, you stop thinking about it. Perhaps in the case of love thats a good thing, but when trying to be succesful at something, going around calling things lu

I think its an insult to successful people, when others go around branding their achievements as "luck". The fact that we were born in North America and not into a war torn anarchy based country like Somalia, we should all consider ourselv

Here are three books that I have loved reading 1. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie I know its been mentioned already, but truly this is a book worth mentioning twice. For the introverted or the arugmentative type and

I don't think it matters what your initial spark is to get you started. Whether its envy or inspiration, as long as your doing it and enjoying it. If months after getting your project up, and the first thing you can say to someone who ask

In some ways I feel compelled to agree with his point, even though almost every thought in my mind goes contrary to that. People trust the Wall street journal which has a fixutre of using Times Roman for most of their articles. I think it

I agree, AJAX really is only a tool for whats actually going on in the web right now. A sophisticated website is not one where ajax is at the core, I think its one where everytime the user visits and actively participates with the site, the

I'll first say, there really is no substitute for an early startup with knowledge programmers working together(simply there is a time and cost advantage to it). That aside, it should not be the limiting factor, that causes you to pack up yo

the employee that sold his 25% to ebay was not the only early employee of craiglists that had shares. And the only thing that has ever been publicly stated is that 25% belongs to ebay, not how much of the company Craig himself owns.

I'm personally not a fan of Craig Newmark.He'll wake up one day and kick himself in the ass for not doing more with craiglists. He worries that effort to monetize the site more will be the equvilant of selling out, but the reality is that i

I'm not sure how much my experience can relate to yours,but after thinking about your question for a while I personally found there's nothing I'd rather be doing more right now at the age of 22 then working on my startup. I guess to answer

Brian i think a wrap system would be a great idea. it would probably be the best way to get a program like this off the ground, while benefiting other webmasters at the same time. Unfortunately such a thing like that reqiures coordination b

I sincerely doubt it. Everyone has his or her own purpose for using facebook, and on that acccount I won't question anyones reason for using facebook. The real question which most people fail to ask themselves is are those purposes for conn

But why marketer must you feel the need to know all these things. Life is built of selective information that we acqiure, and often we are better off from the things we don't know as much as the things we do know. Do you really want to be i

I agree wholeheartedly with the comments about simplicity. I was recently watching a car video on the tube with a friend ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=wJEx-xUHe94 ) and it reminded me of my personal goal to keep my web project simple. In th

Can someone please tell me why everyone is so anti-php these days. I'm been working on my web project this summer in php, and it seems like every self proclaimed web 2.0 site is choosing either python or ruby. I feel like I'm on the wrong s

I also agree. I think passive applications will start to take more of a role in making things easier for users without them having to constantly tell the technology what to do. Web 2.0 seems to me like we have taken one step backwards with
