I know people who were dead-set on ideas, put everything they had into it and literally lost everything. There are many places/situations where time, funding, and cofounders are vastly less available. Lets look at it in reverse: why do so i

In reality, this can still be a dangerous path. Just ask my buddies who had these plans and then experienced a life changing event such as having children or getting married. It will be many years before you will again have the freedom tha

Yeah, I was broadsided by a local ordinance against having my residence as the official location of my company. Not nice.

I don't watch television, and I know many of you don't... but isn't this exactly what reality TV has been doing? Not that this idea doesn't have a lot of potential yet.

My most recent startup somehow became much more popular in London and the Netherlands than in the US.. so where you're located isn't so important. What's important is that you understand the people in this location's needs better than other

I think that investors tend to forget how big of a drain they really can be to startups.

For some reason I burst out laughing when I read the headline... I predict that this site will do decently one way or another, though.

Make people always be required to be in the top 50% of members:) Sounds like an engaging competition to me.

This is a great idea from a publicity standpoint. Journalists will eat it up. I will definitely throw this in for one of my upcoming sites.. Are you thinking of building an entire site around it? edit: see how all of the negative publicity

Yes, we have. But instead of within the site itself, we circulated the screenames of IM chatbots which then directed traffic to the site. Not one of those garbage "eliza" bots either, this was of custom design and worked nicely. Let me know

I am guessing though, that choosing to tell students that they are all worthless may have a chilling effect down the road.

This money doesn't necessarily have to be divided up. The dramatic increase in productivity from these people creating startups instead of just working for a large company should cause there to actually be much more money in tech fields. R

I always had the impression that most of the networking sites forbade this. Well, sounds good if not.

Why am I not hearing about these until they are over? A lot of good it will do me now. Spending too much time at the console I guess..

There is some meaning within this rambling. Here's a startup idea Mr PG: I will pay $50 for basic feedback on a very early startup idea and give you 1% equity. What are the alternatives? Is there any way to get feedback on startup plans fr

Not all ideas, no matter how world-changing, can be turned into a full company with just one founder and roughly zero cash. For young founders, 15k, partners and a basic support system can make a world of a difference. edit: The real decidi

The blame lies fully on banking regulations. Micropayments just don't work in the end.

Wait wait, myspace alone was down for way more than an hour. Often at least one of its services is down. Same for many of the other top sites. They must be more thorough with their measurements.
