Main reason i think Linkedin doesn't have other exact clones. 1) Lengthy account creation process - What is the motivation, again? 2) They got first and got the Industry respected people(Bill Gates...) *3) There in no stickability - you don't share stuff, you don't update status..it's just there(now they have integrated some twitter like non-sense)

As for competition anyone who can create a profile page will do, FB, Twitter, I am sure there are very many.

I think Twitter succeeded because it gave user only one action. All user has to do is type some text and press enter. Users essentially didn't have to think or even work to get comfortable with the system.

Due to time difference I didn't get as many responses as I was expecting from the community. Hence the repost.

Disruptive ideas should be push enough to make then your new need. Now days we use google, for almost everything online search, bookmarking, history, cache, research... essentially google disrupted market so much that it has become a daily need(if you are online).

Knowing is always better than not knowing.

Thanks I think this will be a good start for me. I'll start first collate all the data I have and then put them in different filters.

What I mean by 'robust' is scalable and usable.

Do a quick logo yourself. You can use Inkscape or GIMP.

Me and my wife work on the startups together. She is good with people and I good with systems, so it makes a good team. It make more sense as all the the dynamics are already in place.

What is the point to this?

1. Program Launcher: Rocketdock

2. Notepadd++ - For all editing purposes.

3. A diary to track and list everything work related, this works as a todo list, doodles, project discussions, lists.

4. Evernote for dumping notes from across the web and emails.

5. Combination of Firefox and Google Chrome

This was incredibly useless for both google and users.I can't see any point to it.

1. Read everything you can.

2. Show, don't tell

3. Take advice from smart people

4. Trust your instincts

5. Listen

Apple device is must have for sign-up/login.

Your H0(null hypothesis) may be wrong.

Thanks for the great feedback.

I think "I" as an individual should always be look out for better profits and opportunities, as the companies them selves do. Main objective of a company is to make $$ and increase profits. Then why should an individual feel guilty if hey have a better opportunity for more money and better opportunity.

Questions on ethics and loyalty should not even arise because companies most often than not make more money per employee than individual salaries. Do they feel guilty?

As for friends you can always keep in touch even after you leave your job.

Finally if this doesn't not convince you, just think of it this way if there were layoffs and your team was under the axe, will your company even give it a second thought about laying you all off?
