elic··on Facebook and Google launch lobbying group, The Internet Association

elic··on The API for Google's most valuable resource sucks

I can easily believe that Google+ isn't being forthcoming with their real intentions

elic··on Show HN: Craigslist Car Search

Great idea, definitely will use this for my next car. Probably much easier to build a business around this than Padmapper.

elic··on Germans love Groupon almost as much as they love David Hasselhoff

I don't know how positive a picture this really paints. They had the uptick in the last quarter, but it's overall trending downward pretty seriously.

elic··on Yelponomics: What Really Drives Yelp Reservations

Believe it or not, this requires a real change in process for most businesses. Not many hostesses are hawk-eyed enough to spot an unhappy customer leaving.

elic··on How to make an unprofitable Groupon campaign successful

In most markets, the waitlist to run a Groupon promotion is so long that it's tough for a business to dictate terms.

That is a good reason to run a promotion with a groupon-clone.

elic··on Berkeley Hackathon

pretty cool judging panel with:

Trevor Blackwell (YC) Dave Fetterman (Facebook) Scott Dale and Cadir Lee (Zynga) Vivek Wadhwa (Techcrunch)

elic··on Tell PG: Cal football game (same day/campus as Startup School) to start @ 1:30

On the wiki there is a list of parking lots near campus:

http://wiki.startupschool.org/doku.php?id=parking_2009

In a few days that should be updated with a list of parking lots that do not reserve spaces for the game. Parking fines are doubled on game days, so be very careful parking on the street anywhere in Berkeley.
