That didn't seem to work. (I checked my spam folder, too.) According to this article, it says that an invite link is at the bottom of the right-hand side of your stream: http://searchengineland.com/how-those-in-google-can-invite-o...

Funny you say that, 'cause people tell me the same thing about startups. But as Bezos once said: "You don't choose your passions. Your passions choose you."

Groupon seems like a better solution for small businesses than advertising in a newspaper (pre-craigslist).

>Could someone explain to me why someone who stands to turn $1,000,000 into $4,000,000,000 would ever find it wise to cash out a measly $300,000,000 out? Perhaps he's just hedging his bet.
