chocoheadfred··on So, you just won Startup Weekend. Now what?
Any recommendations for when to make this distribution decision? If applicable, what have other (successful) startup weekend guys done?
chocoheadfred··on So, you just won Startup Weekend. Now what?
@kerryfalk Good point. It's easy to be smitten with googly eyes. So, how do you know then (for a business), and with like ~8 people is probably exponentially more complex. I wonder if though some people/personalities will more or less cancel each other out...making it easier than with just two people.

To make a dating parallel though, I think we def got at least a triple.

chocoheadfred··on So, you just won Startup Weekend. Now what?
Definitely need a solid base before moving forward. Personality, chemistry etc are everything. I think these are readily fleshed out in a weekend though. There was one dude who kinda self excluded himself. Not sure if we are ready for roles yet. Like a vinn diagram many of us overlap, in a good way. The equity discussion should be fun. Any recommendations? What worked for you?
chocoheadfred··on Charlie Sheen – Craziest Marketer Of All Time?
Charlie is no doubt doing his hardest to out craze all celebrities but how fruitful will his efforts become?

With this said, how do you quantify each celebrities efficiency in turning craziness into cash? Well, thank you for asking. May I present the Hollywood Craziness Marketing Index (HCMI).

chocoheadfred··on New Startup Now Pulling In Over $100k in Monthly Revenues
I wonder if you make make more adding functionality from another app that I use that looks at your installed apps and suggests new ones based on that. Seems like you take age into account. Why not other factors like gender, interests, hobbies...in addition to popularity. All of these would be able to deliver better recommended apps. I would hesitate on just featuring the apps that pay you the most. Maybe hold out on those really good ones until you are able to prove success, which you might be able to do now. Too bad I can't see the app on my droid.
