Yes, that is correct. The idea is just to help the company grow as much as possible, continuing to hire and pay others first. I guess I've been acting as a partner in the company for a while now but not been an official equity partner on paper.

Yes 7.5% is more than nothing. I'm trying to figure though if that number is low or high. What do you think based on this information? What does your gut say?

I've used a computrainer before to capture this data, weak spots in pedaling. Not sure how this technology works though.

Yes, Strava phone app. I don't have the fancy smancy garmins/power meters/etc. Does it show though on a Garmin when you enter a segment if you are running Strava?

Interesting idea. How is Training load calculated? Some sort of algorithm that takes into account upcoming race schedule, age, category, past riding schedule?

And 'Pedal force vs. cadence', does this reveal where weak spots are in your stroke? Also does it show you your optimal cadence, based on speed and duration of ride. I think that would be great information to have.

Also, with strava I'd love to see when different sections are starting and ending so I know exactly when to gas it and stop, perhaps even how I'm progressing as I'm riding. This is pretty unrelated though to this app.

Great to hear. Congrats. Wish we had something like this in Charlotte, or I could just move to Seattle.

It's not what you say, it's what people say about you. Kinda like a popularity contest in high school. If you are quarterback screwing the hot cheerleader, most people are looking/following you (whether they "like" you or not). So, get links. Lots of 'em. source: http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors

Yes, setting up your site based on broad or long tail terms is good foundation...but you can rank your site for words that aren't even on your site. Why do you think disney ranks for 'exit' and 'leave'? http://blog.searchmetrics.com/us/2011/04/14/the-evolution-of...

I wonder how much he had made from us talking about him here?

I guess they aren't using GPS. If they did, I wonder I studying other brain increasing activities would give the cabbies even smarter brains.

I don't know anything about it but doesn't sound like much fun, winter in Canada.

Actually, won't it be summer in both?

Agree 100%. Look at ways to get each page indexed with original quality content.

Yes, there is content. I started this idea but it has just been me talking about how others are nice to me.

How do I get others to participate? Any thoughts?

I was thinking of getting a sponsor to provide a prize to the winner every week.

What kind of reports?

We have it then. A Lehman is a term of measuring crappy financial situations and is worth $613B.

So, a correct use would be like "Don't worry, our national debt is only 25 Lehmans."

Thanks. If I bought these bonds and they actually paid back, if get a 75% return? So, how is risk calculated...quantitatively or more gut?

Can you explain this in lehmans?

Based on your scenario and if this was successful, wouldn't the incentive/money for authors to write new textbooks be removed?

How would you rather prefer submission?

Cool. And does your startup help with this process as well, like formatted tweets, emails, messages?

Also, it would be important to be able to see who is helping the most and how much more they are helping than others. Did you address this as well?

Say I figure out which people are influencing sales more than others, what should I do with that data? Maybe get with these people to have them share more often.

Meaning that it's a means to an end?

Yes, if you have created something that people want to game youve probably done something right.

Felt in Cary too. Cool...but hope everyone is ok.

This is sweet. Too bad I don't know rails...it's on my todo list though. Would love to get this same functionality setup for my site, nicestperson.com but sadly this is written in PHP (which apparently was the language that cave men coded in). I love the name auto fill functionality too. Works really fast. Great job!

I wonder what would happen if you no-followed, no-indexed all of the non content rich pages. Good thing is that you don't have anything to lose :)

I think that makes a lot of sense and worth a shot. Might be worth removing (many) more pages until your rankings come back to see as a test.

Nice. The first one sounds like Officespace, "I'd say in a given day I do about 15 minutes of actual work".

Before or after this outage?

I did (I think). If not, it's bigcheeseatmousekickdotcom

Thanks for your comments about kickstarter. I think we are in the same boat but just interested in what others are doing.

So, national press doesn't mean like a "national" site...just lots of people all across the place. I think the tweets by Scoble probably are a lot better for buying street cred though.

I'll check out this site. We are all meeting this week and this will be something we'll be talking about (lawyer/legal stuff)

@bmelton Thanks for your detailed response.

What is your SW startup?

Have you ever consider kickstarter.com for funding your SW startup?

What's the best 3 ways you've found to keep everyone focused (project management system, group chat, weekly meetings, etc)?

How were you able to get national press?

What lawyer did you use?

Thanks for this info. What was the name of the other company?
