As a avid trekker and climber (I've trekked to Everest base camp - fun stuff) ~ if you're wondering why people climb Everest it can really be summed up best by George Leigh Mallory - "because its there".

Think about a real rock star (not a rock star programmer). They play/sell their music to millions of paying fans. Now think about the difference to a band that only plays out in local clubs and might sell a few CDs. That rock star who plays

humm, I wonder if this is where companies slip into bureaucratic methods and practices. I'm all for streamlining business but "rigid quality-control system designed to eliminate waste" could be a slippery slope to start down...

I like the idea. If one founder is working harder/more/intently or taking on more responsibility I think the reward should be equal to the "effort"...

My two cents: I'd change the design: I'd make the front page more like Google. (Search box in the middle) And your site is full of features - like "Browse baby names..." and "We have amazing maps..." those thing are features - what you nee

No I really doubt it. I'd guess society will change as well as technology.

I personally have no problem hiring someone to work remotely. In my case; most everyone I've hired to work remotely - I've worked with in the past - so I knew they'd get the work done effectively. If I hired someone I didn't know and they w

I've thought about the trust issue many times... I think there might be a market for a "new" secure/encryption technology/business model focused on securing the cloud.

Now that you've "opened up parts of the site" and I played around - I think it makes a lot more sense to me. If you can gain some critical mass it just might work. Good luck!

The design is nice. Is this addressing a real need? I am very close to the "media outlet environment" and I'm not sure if we have a need for such a resource? What are the tool-based things you are talking about? Maybe I just need more conv

I use to work for a newspaper. At the time (might show my age here) newspapers were switching from traditional cut and paste/film-plate production to digital composition. I had to push and push just get the newspaper to think about stopping

Performance based management - about time. I hate the constraints of a 9-5 job. What is the use of forcing me to work till 5 even though the only thing I've been doing is sitting on my ass reading online news? If the works not there how

Maybe its time for Google and others to step up and verify that the online advertising they are selling is being used for the correct purpose. ~ Which in turn will increase the price of the advertising which might have the effect of creatin

I'm not saying that I don't like the idea of web 3.0 but where's the reality? While its nice to believe that we'll all create APIs that will "talk" to each others APIs - currently we can't even agree on which programming language is the "b

I think you should narrow your focus. Didn't craigslist start out with just one area? Why do you call it social classifieds? Is there a social network tied in somehow?

The concept is fine but I find the design a little drab. In my opinion this is an "entertainment" based site and you mentioned possibly selling music... you need to jazz it up, give it some pop - create a vibrant color scheme - then I thin
