This typically raises the growth versus revenue debate. Do you continue as is, adding users or try and monetise, risking alienating users. There have been some smart sponsorship/advertising concepts that have worked well on free sites. Kagg

Is the new future offline? We have grown attached to our electronic devices and online friends. Maybe we need to step back and think about going back?

Armageddon? Is there anywhere James Cameron doesn't want to go? He was just at the bottom of the ocean last month. He and Richard Branson should have a race into space!

Work life balance? This aspiration applies to all industries. If you have no other commitments (family, sport, TV etc), then you could spend all waking hours in front of a computer/smartphone writing code. That feels like am unhealthy commi

Avoidance or evasion? If a company is compliant then it is up to government to intervene and change laws. However law change should apply to all entities, on or off line.

? The backers get the product or prototype. The company gets some money. KickStarter gets paid a commission. So this its not an equity swap, it is a shop front. The benefit for startups is up front cash and a pool of early adopters? What al

This is a a great article however confirms the sad fact that you need to pay Google (a lot of money) to drive customers to your website. What happens if you don't need to pay for traffic? Do you still sell your book for $102?

I don't really get Kickstarter. Backers essentially are paying the startup company for a product (or early prototype). Sure the company gets some money upfront, but they eventually have to deliver on the product? And what else does the back

All true. However surely Google want to deliver an intuitive and easy to use social media tool to their end users. I thought G+ is for the mass market - maybe it isn't. Google+ is definitely not intuitive and during their recent upgrade hav

Google started their life with a simple UI that anyone could use. You simply entered keywords into a textbox and hit the enter key. Suddenly all their new stuff is too complicated. Google+ and Google Listen are painful to use.
