I'm not sure about your last point. It seems there are some extremely important implications from the determination that "black swan" events are often of incalculable risk. I already posted the link farther down the thread, so I won't rep

Really fascinating and insightful essay by Taleb that he wrote about two months ago about the crisis: http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/taleb08/taleb08_index.html Definitely check it out.

Really helpful, thank you. I am in a similar situation and have felt pretty uncomfortable assigning different weights to each of the founders, but I can relate to your situation where different members are contributing different amounts of

Horizontal drop down for primary navigation elements seems most intuitive to users in my experience. I think the most important thing is to keep common elements together and enduring - primary navigation elements (home, news, etc) and acco

Distinguishing between concept and execution failures would be a huge start, actually. Don't you think that makes a big difference in your final evaluation of the company - particularly from a startup perspective? Absolutely fair point th

I agree completely - the concept is powerful. If the task before you is large enough, at some point you let go of self doubt and perfectionism and start generating content. I really enjoy NaNoWriMo and I am looking forward to this years r

The failure of startup companies is real news, but I wish there were more focus on the reasons behind the failure. Most coverage I read comes across as mockery, as to suggest that the concept or group could never have succeeded in the firs

Why are they mutually exclusive? Seems like they each work best when supported by everything else. The defining characteristic of 2008 is not twitter, as it was blogging in 2004, but rather the growing interconnectivity of all web service

Very interesting and thorough article. I think these questions are particularly interesting to consider from the perspective of a startup. While smaller startups may not face these challenges yet, since them teams are still relatively sma

There probably is a better solution - likely one involving some minimal human moderation paired with machine flagging, but the technical challenges don't make obscenity filters a bad idea. A young startup could face a make or break moment

How much flexibility do funders have to renegotiate terms on the fly? In general, I think we should remember that startups should be as interested in the profitability of VC funds as much as anyone, but some of this seems a little extreme.
