Rooms can be created on Skype, that's the way we use skype in our business, we create a group chat between all the relevant people and then favorite it and it's the same as a room. The contact list issue is good I think for larger companies

Hi there powdahound, what is the main benefit of hipchat versus using Skype? I see on the home page "persistant chat rooms" but I use that feature in skype (I create a chat with several people and then favourite it). I'm not understanding t

Re "Create at least one lead generation channel as an affiliate for another product" Selling another software app as an affiliate is completely different to selling your own application and I would argue much harder to actually make any dec

It's amazing the types of advances that are still posible in material sciences. Not sure that I'm skeptical, I tend to trust that Lockheed would not come up with a press release unless they were fairly sure about the technology. I wonder if

I think the premise of the article is that goods will be extremely cheap to produce. It's not as simple as that. We need to make them extremely cheap to produce, for people to find them, select them, and distribute them. I think the distrib

Seems like a super specific product, is there enough of a market for it? I do like it compared with the average website tour, but seems like they should create something more comprehensive somehow.

Works great for me. No issues with Chase. You need to come to the US to set up the account. Chase and Citibank both have good online wire transfers. Wells Fargo do not have online wire transfers.

I have had a full time VA for many years now and she does all sorts of things for me, including purchasing items using my credit cards, research in buying a new couch ... and on-going research and promotional work for our business. I'm hesi

I agree that it's possible to scale a large company working remotely. I think in the next 20 years we are going to see some significant breakthroughs in the scale of companies that operate virtually. I think we will see companies with 10,00

Most people who think they work 50-60 hours actually work 40 hours. Most people who think they work 40 hours actually work 30 or less. I've seen that for myself, working very hard from morning to mid-night taking breaks only to eat and trac

This is combined with more people working from home ... more people ordering on the Internet. Generally the use of cars is going to continue to go down substantially.

Completely agree. Using starred emails as a to do list is not effective because you do not have an easy way to prioritise these actions.

Disagree with this article. I think the no 1 way to hire a great hacker is to see them code (either in real life through pair coding or through a coding test or through seeing what they have personally achieved). Cultural fit is important a

Have been working remotely for over 6 years and all of our team are remote. I think there is a massive change coming as businesses start to adapt to the idea of working remotely. It's just the beginning of the trend.

Looks awesome, seems like it totally fits the needs of shoppers, does it work for retailers? Not sure, but there could be a lot of people that will use it to get a discount for something they were going to purchase anyway?

I've been working at home and travelling the world for over 5 years with our whole team completely distributed, managing over 30 people remotely for all of this time. I've seen it doesn't work for some people. If the person doesn't have a p

A big factor if you are trying to succeed while doing it alone is can you hire a great team to complement your skills. This usually costs more money in the beginning stages in salaries than having a co-founder. It means the founder must hav

Hope you like the infographic. The guys at infoactive are launching a startup with this type of interactive infographics. Pretty much all infographics I've seen previously have static data. I think you could take this concept a lot further,

Their pricing strategy is simple - make the maximum profit possible. Apple is a premium product and the upgrades are there to get more money out of the customer. The relationship with the value received is tenuous.

Not checking email first thing is really hard to do! I manage to do it (just) but it requires an immense amount of discipline and easy to slip back into bad habits.

This is essentially the luxury of a successful company. I think they take time off because they are successful. They are not successful because they take time off.

Really loving braintree, haven't checked out stripe, but I think for what we are doing braintree are totally awesome. There has to be a reason why basecamp and others are using them for example. I guess everyone has their reasons to like or

I think this forgets the MOST important point of the name. Easy to remember and easy for people to spread it virally. For example, facebook.com or even "thefacebook.com" is not too hard to remember. I have a systematic way to evaluate this

One thing to consider is that you are competing with the entire world. So average developers in the US will have trouble. Doesn't matter so much if you start at 30, matters more how good you are in comparison with younger (or older) men and
