I thought this was an interesting post. We do something similar at my startup. We send out a welcome email the next day and include a super quick personal thank you video from the founders/team. The video is easy to do and most people

I thought this was an interesting piece. Does anyone have any thoughts? I would love to see an ad campaign influencing people to use less bottled water :)

Thanks for the feedback. This awesome. Yeah we are definitely considering more verticals, but wanted to make sure this was not an idea that only my partner and I thought would be useful. http://alternativeto.net is a great site, but you a

Google Wave is a great example of a lack of customer development. Trying to create something technically cool, with little practical value to any end-user. I imagine that some of the technology created has been patented or being used in oth

It is so true, but no matter what I have not found a solid solution. Maintaining a quality standard just is not enough. The best solution I have found is to fluff the initial expected time. At the on set it looks way off, but in reality we

This is a great piece on Apple and its current cash balance situation. Though most companies never face such an issue it is interesting to understand what Apple must be considering.

Lazy web: Any idea what laws were passed in the area that helped lure Apple and Facebook to create data centers there? I am guessing Apple is going to use this facility for their iCloud services. I am sure they will be buying up large plots

First off I believe Sheryl Sandberg move to Facebook had less to do with money and more to do with intellectual challenge. She was set for life before FB. I am sure the money only helped her decision making. These figures seem pretty crazy,

FB's public float appears to be approx 5% of the company's total value. Though relatively small, the stock price of each share should reflect the company's total value. That being said FB is fairly unique in many ways and has been able to d

Seems fairly mysterious and improbable, but I have always been fascinated with the concept of dreams and being able to share them (like Inception idea). I would love to give it a test run if it arrives in the US. Has anyone actually tried t

Personally nothing. If there was seamless solution that I was aware of I might use it. Currently I just keep track of everything in my head and it has been working fairly well thus far. I am sure a more organized approached would be better.
