It does a nice job of laying out information, so I give top points for information design. The scrolling is a killer though. sounds like you really love the idea you came up with, but unfortunately, its very annoying and very confusing. It

I think we can all agree the University of Wisconsin si the best. No need to debate, we can shut down the comments now.. No seriously, great people, great town. :)

Receipts, customer service contact, account summaries. There's a reason why they ask I'm sure. Its good practice to keep in touch with users when money is involved.

I'd go for option A too. If people are paying for something, an email address is a legitimate request. Its a virtual world, and you need a way to contact them. I would have your privacy policy ready to go and prominent though. You might no

It comes off as more a scam than a real request for funding. "How do you know the tooth fairy isn't some crazy glue-sniffer. 'Buildin' model air planes,' he tells them. Well I'm not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, thats all it ta

I can actually see a viable business from this (in my head of course, the business plan is different). Great job.

This is a joke right? I mean, it sounds like the patent for a web form. Get info, use info, deliver it back to user. Replace privacy summary with almost anything else and you have a basic function of most websites.

I was thinking get rid of them and make it automatic. As your mouse gets over near the side of the screen, the bookcase start scrolling sideways, like you've started walking down the aisle.

What about a Netflix-style pop-up for the books, instead of that big window? You can really fit all the info you need in one of those, and it would interrupt the browsing experience less.

Good concept. Navigation is slow though. You have to keep going back up to the corner and down to books. Having automatic side scrolling would make it incredibly easier.

You should have been in the class - what an eye-opener. Venture Capitalists are really the repeat players in the industry, and it shows. Every concern is covered. Granted, I'm not saying everything in an agreement is tilted completely in a

One of my professors in law school wrote some great papers about the structure of venture capital deals. What each party is searching for, how they structure the legal documents to protect them, etc. The answer to your question about what t

I think most states have a yearly fee to be incorporated. They don't base it on revenues or profit because thats what taxes are for :)

Good point. However, many applications monetized on a larger scale are built on advertising models, which don't have to give a cut to Apple. But you're right, traditional, expensive, stand-alone software is going to take a hit. On the other

Nope. Any entrepreneur can get a solid business going if its a great idea and done right. Its just that the iPhone platform is going to be done first, so if people have apps done for that they can work on their Android stuff while they're s

I suggest that Android developers get on the iPhone bandwagon soon, or they'll be toast. Android might sound nice on paper, but it doesn't actually sell applications. It will be spread out over who knows how many phones, each having differe

AOL was an LLC for quite a while. Might still be.

by tstegart 18y ago
Why the S-Corp route? LLC's are more popular for good reason. Either way, pick up the Nolo series of books (or get them from the library). They are actually quite good. http://www.nolo.com/resource.cfm/catID/9FA25870-14F1-4657-97...

i think this is a great idea. Think of a mix between Digg and a Google maps mash-up. Each town or city has its own area in google maps highlighted. You can make icons for each problem that signify what it is, like a pothole, (small, medium,

Its actually not, if you analyze all the costs. You get a very SEO friendly store, access to Amazon's recommendation engine, review system, and a few more pretty good things. You can sell Amazon products, if you need to fill out some areas

Coming from a non-techie perspective, the reason I'm not using it is because its all way too confusing. I mean, have you read an article about this stuff? Everyone defines it in different ways, hardly anyone can explain with specificity wha

What about few, non-flashy non-annoying ads? :) I mean, you're the owner, you get to decide what ads you want, and you're allowed to place restrictions on what they can do, look like, etc. The more restrictions, the less advertisers you'll

Take a look at most blogging platforms for ideas of carrots or sticks. I.e., you get a free blog, but can get a lot more if you pay. I think your question boils down to four things: What is core to enjoying the site? I haven't looked at yo
