I've worked at Google and they take search quality very seriously. In fact, the search quality guys are not allowed to talk to the ads guys to avoid exactly this type of influence. Sure money matters, and there is an "apparent" conflict. Bu

A very interesting article indeed. Not much new, though. I am curious, though .. many co-founders with very successful exits make the top 0.05% or 0.01% in terms of networth, but they're new money. They're not part of the 0.01% closed circl

Our approach was: 1. Sketch mockups on paper, iterate until happy. 2. Sketch mockups in Photoshop, iterate until happy with every little detail. 3. Send photoshop mockups for slicing - get back HTML/CSS/JS 4. Convert static HTML files to st

When we raised our seed funding, I used several cap tables - none of which worked for me because they all made certain assumptions and didn't allow for reverse-calculations, which is what I needed. I found that a simple spreadsheet worked b

We host our servers with IAI ( http://www.internetworking-atlantic.com/ ) and run our own private cloud using proxmox and OpenVZ. The VMs are CentOS 6 and the host drives are all encrypted.

Thanks for the links Daniel. Very helpful! BTW, we're in headquartered in Nova Scotia, and as per your link, we have stricter privacy laws than the rest of Canada. It even goes as far as provincial departments not cooperating with other pro

We tried them but had to change to a different vendor because the Blackberries didn't recognize their certificates and they had no plans to rectify that. We don't have much BB traffic, but didn't want to exclude BB users just because we wan

I actually found the comments informative to gain better insight as to why people use different setups. I had assumed that same as what you said, which turned out to be less often true than I thought.

There is an option for SLA with a paid Google Apps account. Last I checked it was $50/year, but comes with much larger inbox (25G at Google vs. 10G max at Rackspace). Also better integration and push notifications on mobile for Google, if y

I've used rackspace hosted email before, both the regular and the exchange versions. It works nicely and the users were very happy. It gets expensive though if you want push notifications on the blackberry, even without the exchange. Google

At TitanFile we run our own server for all application-related stuff, and use a third party for email hosting. Reasons: 1) We need to comply with Canadian privacy laws, so need Canadian VPS - and those are way more expensive than in US. 2)

The overall market is estimated to be at 10's of billions of dollars in size. No one is even close to being a market leader, although companies like box.net, dropbox, and sharefile have some established customer base. But there is plenty of

Stay away from .co at all cost. We tried registered irealty.co when it came out since .com and many others TLDs didn't have irealty, and we really wanted that name. We've put the .co in the logo to emphasize that it's not .com, but people k

As a general rule, shorter URLs are more memorable, better for SEO, and better for social sharing. Memorable: 7 letters or less is best, 9 is still manageable, and anything more than 9 calls for misspelling, too long to type, etc. I persona

Can you share the relevant snippets from your puppet setup? I'm currently looking at using puppet with nagios/monit to manage the 50+ servers that recently became my responsibility.

I'm most productive 10pm to 1am. So many people suggest working early, but not everyone can be productive in the early morning. And when you have kids who wake up at 6 or 7am, doing it in the evening after they went to bed is about your onl

I'm in the same boat as you and totally agree with you that it is necessary to separate design from implementation and assign these tasks to different people in order to maintain or boost productivity. We've done the same in my startup and

Well that's what made it a "hard decision." But so far so good. It's been a few month and we've become good friends since then, doing social stuff together not only startup work.

What'd really like to see is sharing specific folders with friends or colleagues who also use this app, just like Google apps allows you to share files with anyone.
