So, so true. And so horribly sad.

Imagine if you worked at a company backed by millions of dollars from investors. Imagine that after a few years, you didn't make nearly enough money to pay those investors back. Imagine that the investors then decided to give the company y

I'm totally one of those people. When I'm on a call, I quickly open up TextEdit to jot down notes, and then transfer them to Evernote or Basecamp after. Neat idea!

Yours is actually what inspired this. :) I thought "what a simple app" but at least he's trying to create change.

His post is 100% true though. Mashable has become TMZ, pumping out low quality content every minute to get the traffic they do.

I'm constantly amazed at how these companies spend all their time, energy, and money on copying Apple, or trying to catch up to Apple. Maybe throw all those resources at innovating?

No, but I've noticed Netflix definitely doesn't lack in children's programming. It's insane! This is pretty sweet too.

My son turned a year old a few weeks ago. He's going to grow up choosing content on demand from our Roku. Maybe some WonderPets from Netflix. Or a current TV show from Hulu. Or the latest viral video of some kid a year older than him ro

Not a bad idea. I'd like that if the scan automatically logged you into the wifi, or if it provided the login info ready to copy/paste into the login form.

"...our vision is to create a unifying experience that is a simple and universal sharing platform." One might say Dropbox has a similar (or the same vision). My question, more directly, is how are you any different than those "direct and i

I'm curious, what were your motivations for diving into this market? Are you looking to do it better than Dropbox and everybody else out there?

I know both Rachel and Andrew personally. Neither of them work for Groupon and they, as Andrew explained, share an office in Chicago (with an insanely beautiful view that I'm jealous of!). And frankly, they both rock. :)

Careful. Peter Shankman might direct message you on Twitter (and not follow you so you can't direct message him back) and say he expects more from you. Like he did to me an hour ago. Peter Shankman: "would have expected more logic from you

These sort of "social media success" stories need to stop. As many here have pointed out, this was a marketing/PR stunt, because they know exactly who Peter Shankman is and what he would do in response. It's a no brainer from Morton's pers

Are there enough iOS apps that need this functionality to support you as a business? And will there be enough in the future? I'm worried about this being way too niche...

Can we just all make a pact that we never spew out such canned, meaningless dribble when put in the same situation? If you're not going to say anything of meaning, please don't say it.

Yes, you get the money after the event is over. 5 days after, actually, as that's the timeframe Eventbrite gives you to handle any refunds.

You're right. He said he was switching from PayPal as the payment processor to Eventbrite. We used PayPal for our first event, but their extra cut on top of Eventbrite's made little sense, so we too switched to using Eventbrite's processor

We use Eventbrite for all our Entrepreneurs Unpluggd events, and while they're not multi-day conferences, I still think Eventbrite is the best platform for any size event to use for ticket sales, registration, waiting list, and all that jaz

Exactly my thoughts. My hunch is these guys are surviving solely from the saturation of startups in San Francisco and the surrounding area. I'm curious what happens when they venture out into "the real world". Seems to me like a company th

I'm curious what percentage of their customer base is startups and what percentage is other types of businesses (ie, businesses they'll encounter in other markets than the valley). Will they be signing up all the large ad agencies on Michig
