This is again a reason why you shouldn't make accessing internal company services too easy. Yeah, it can be a pain but once someone figures out a little piece of the puzzle, they can run amok in your network. In hindsight, tying customer s

Personally, I use JungleDisk (which was recently acquired by Rackspace) to encrypt all my data and back it up to Amazon (on my own S3 account, not JungleDisk's). Sure, it costs more than Dropbox or Carbonite or other services but it seems

There was a paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research from back in 2006 that had a similar study and findings. I dug through it and brought out the relevant parts (relevant to me at least) here: http://www.sanjayparekh.com/skill-v

Guess that just goes to show you what competition will do in a space. If it took a few days of work, why didn't you do it before since you considered it "for months"? Oh wait, you waited until someone else did it and then decided to try i

Errr.. Twitpay was developed over a WEEKEND at Atlanta Startup Weekend. I'd say it's pretty easy to copy this idea in 15 days. Heck, I'd have expected more features. Maybe the extra days were used to do more key words.

Good question - had it on a Monday last year and that's a bad day for VCs to attend (partner meetings). So I decided to go with a Wednesday to hopefully maximize the number of out of town (and in town) VCs who might show up.

Andrew hits upon some of the most critical issues for new startups. Personally, I care about the team the most. If you don't have the right team it doesn't matter what industry you're in cause your chance of success is very low. Plus I'd

Twitpay.me was built at Atlanta Startup Weekend 2 just 1.5 weeks ago and launched officially today. Pay others via Twitter and fund those payments via PayPal. Pretty cool and very well designed (I'm biased - I helped in forming the idea b

I was actually thinking memberships only to a gas station. I'm a Costco member but they make their money (or at least more money) on the stuff inside, instead of at the pump. With our gas delivery problems in the last few weeks a gas stat

Micah - definitely agree which is why I said: Are you entering an already crowded field with the hopes of doing what everyone else is doing and then try to sell some lottery tickets and candy bars along with it? For gas stations, maybe it w

I'm a little late to the party but I'm a co-founder of Digital Envoy (www.digitalenvoy.net). The company was acquired last year (Landmark Communications) but we invented the field of IP location technology back in 1999. The company's tech
