This is kind of like saying "If I didn't get into Harvard, why should you still go to college?" No matter how big YC gets, they will still be rejecting the vast majority of applicants. Its simply not possible for them to fund every startup

These deals often faul through at the last minute. Much of the time, the company making the offer just wants to get a look 'under the hood' of a potential competitor. Think of all the companies google has made these offers to and the deal

Facebook is an alternative social network to email. Real competition to Facebook won't be 'the Pepsi to Facebook's coke.' Instead, it will probably be something totally different that makes Facebook irrelevant, or at least different enoug

I think the last thing you mentioned hits it on the head ( wildly deprecating the title "product guy"). Seems to me that were there an engineering discipline that included understanding customers, we'd have some awesome engineers. Right n

FB seems to have a different dynamic than Twitter, because the posts float around for several hours once posted. With Twitter, after ten minutes or so, your post is lost in the shuffle unless it hit big earlier on and received many retweets

Google manages not to hire someone who didn't want to work there in the first place. Sounds like the process is working just fine to me. In all seriousness, there may be some issues with their hiring process, but I think the Google hiring

There are several comments here concerned that CMU might want to keep their startups rooted in Pittsburgh. However, they have a Silicon Valley campus http://www.cmu.edu/silicon-valley/ which seems to demonstrate that they have some inter

Finding the right peer group at first can be rough. One point I made in the post that should be underscored is being 'the first follower.' If you scour your town enough, there is probably someone who is looking to get started. I recommend
