Google Inc. does direct investments from time to time. Also they have their growth investment arm, Google Capital, which has invested some large sums recently in Glassdoor, etc. (but surely not $1B in one company unless they acquired that c

John Doerr is clearly a visionary, but it seems he's trying to play catch-up with the likes of Fred Wilson's USV, Sequoia, Benchmark, Accel, etc. as Kleiner has taken a backseat when it comes to recent hot deals. His enthusiasm is almost a

The higher numbers re: valuations I've seen and heard are just under $10M (recent YC startup). Potentially rumors of $20M (Instagram, but was apparently untrue). Not sure which startups are seeing the $30-50M range that Fred Wilson mentions

Ideally, something like annotations (if/when it launches) could provide the necessary metadata for further filters. Agree that a small subset of Twitter users actually have a need for something like this. In the meantime, check out an inter

What about Search/Discovery? Sure, Facebook's Open Graph is being cultivated by all of us as we like and share stuff, but currently, there's no way to search through my feeds, what I've liked, what my friends have liked, the most popular li

The web vs. app question is a hot topic at the moment. Our startup is building a product that resembles an app-like experience in the browser as much as possible. So, we will definitely take advantage of the Chrome App Store when it launche

If you haven't yet, I would spend a couple years working for a reasonably good airline (US: Southwest, Virgin America, JetBlue, etc.) and see how it's done. Not sure which function would be the best to focus on, but operations seems like th

Simply taking a few 10-15 minutes walks during the day -- one in the morning, one after lunch, and maybe even one before bed -- is a good habit to get into if you're indoors and/or in front of a computer all day. Fresh air, sun, and movemen

James Dyson and Tony Hsieh of Zappos are great suggestions. I would lean toward Dyson since product creativity and innovation were central in his story, and he's a bit underhyped. Hsieh's creativity centered around building a unique, fun cu
