Excellent story. Thanks for the share, blasdel. The wall street journal had an interesting article on this subject, as does Leo from Zenhabits.net I recently decided to undergo a similar writing experiment on the concept of focus ( http://

I've heard those types of figures, too, but never read anything that backed it up with specific examples. I also understand that shares are vested over a certain period of time; i.e. 0.25% each quarter Though it's different for each startup

Great link, grellas. The New Yorker recently had an interesting article on Andy Warhol. Very Michael Jackson'ish type of guy... It's really simple; when one builds a foundation on weird things, instead of values, weird things are bound to h

Really, the only way I know how to make a living is online. This would definitely change things. But the more I think of it, I believe we'll be alright. Those in the web space have a certain scrappiness to them. I've always disliked rules a

I think the next step will center on Facebook outlining rules against those ads that are deceptive . I highly doubt Facebook doesn't want to put a stop to it because "it makes Facebook a quick buck." The numbers they yield are a fraction o
