Use this all the time. Apple mail has the same feature.

Cost is the main driver here. I am lefty, but I agree the unions are a little out of control. I am sorry, but a guy who stands in a production line building cars should not be making $125k per year (source was a series on TV, think 60 minutes where they talked to some of those workers).

I am glad unions are there to help make sure people are not overworked and have benefits, but come on guys. You shot yourself in the foot there.

+1 Had to read "The Goal' at SMU to graduate. I suggest all developers, managers or entrepreneurs to read it today! If you are a startup, when you read it think developers/designers as your industrial machines.

Which was my point of squareup or square neither probably got much search results, but now they have a killer domain with square. Instead of squa.re or something similar.

Twitter and Pownce both launched about the same time, Pownce is dead (sure it could have been founder execution issues).

Also, I am sure bigsaving.com gets a lot more traffic, but nobody to startup that ever hopes to get brand recognition would ever buy that. Its why fund.com, bank.com, ad.com will never have household recognition because its to generic.

To answer your question, no the amounts being offered will not get me to the next level.

One issue, companies that meet your requirements really aren't innovating or releasing new products. If they are, a overwhelming majority will be investing in short-term micro growth, like building a new bridge.

We actually have this system in place, VC's, Incubators and Angels. They verify opportunities and fund them. Startups are our future, whether you like it or not. And yes many will fail, but those that don't will provide long-term macro growth.

The biggest winner in about 10 years will be DST, they get it.

If the government wants to solve this issue lend capital to startups directly or via VC's, Incubators, Angels, or whatever. Maybe only lend it to those seeking C rounds to verify a companies stability and to prevent a bubble.

Totally agree. If they continue without all the lawyers they will be far more advanced in 20 years.

If this or some offshoot ever makes it to the US, we should see a dramatic decrease in family law, Federal subsides for child support, and could lead to dramatic decrease in crime. That is, if it becomes as available as womens birth control.

I was just thinking about this today. I check it once a week and all I ever see are connections being made. Guess this is good for sales people or recruiters looking for intro's.

If I am Product Manager or CEO at LinkedIn, I would buy or create ODesk on top of LinkedIn's data. They have all the professionals and work history.

How is it different than RedBeacon? What are good things vs. the bad?

Not sure if it still holds true today, but in the past with some blog tech writers, you needed to submit your pitch something like this.

Hello, <insert info about startup here>.

Thanks, <insert name>

P.S. attached is an Apple Macbook Pro, cheers.

Why would you turn down $100+ million? I honestly am not sure where Path is headed. I am at loss for words on this one...

Google must see something?

Get well, Andrew. Take care of yourself/family first. Life is to short.

I might be wrong, but VC's are only friends to those contribute to the fund. So say the VC gets a $1 billion dollar fund, they take there 20% commission to run the fund (fly around, acquire space, etc...) then they go out looking for the biggest risk with the biggest return. They are making a killer salary with the 20% commission to run the fund. They don't have any friends at that point.... at least that is what I have come to learn.

Is looking to fill the vacancy at Apple?

Don't let this comment stop you. You should do it. The only issue I see is the sign-up/ payment issue. If you can get past that hurdle I bet you will get a million requests by day 14 if you can make it on Techcrunch and/or get people to go viral with Tweets and Facebook updates. DO IT!

Great advice. I run 5 miles at lunch and it clears your head, heart, and really makes you to tired to be frustrated or in the mood to fight with anyone or any code.

There is room for more than one Q&A building tool. You can be the low-cost or you can be targeted on one specific industry.

You may need to pivot, but only if you don't get any traction.

Congrates Paul and Harj.

thx jbf

What interests you? Start big and work your way down. Do you want to disrupt the Enterprise? Or social? What your personality? Do you hate an industry and want to take it down? Or do you care about something so much you want to bring attention to it? Funnel down from there. Let me know what interests you and I can give you 5 ideas.

You are correct. See my comment above yours.

This is for the post above this one.

Your last point kind of illustrates you have no clue what you are talking about.

If boomers are such great spenders, I can assume you think they have the most buying power? Then we shouldn't see any decline in the things they buy such as newspapers, all those old brands of cars,....

Again if you actually read the entire article I address and argue a lot of your points backed with data.

I guess time only tell who is correct.

Then maybe you should clarify your original comment?

I understand ratios. Thanks for your help. I believe they are focusing in the inequality as in average income. Meaning $ figures increased or decreased within those two groups. They are still the 90% and 10% groups so the rich got richer and poor got poorer.

- Its a prediction because I say it is. That is why I wrote it. ( will update it to be more specific) - You just proved my point nobody would have beat Obama (read the article again) it was because the civic generation made it so. - You are correct he didn't have the authority, but he backed it and his counter parts during his election years said they wanted it repealed. Hoover didn't so what does that say about Hoover? - What do you consider not struggling? Compared to the billions newspapers make and the power newspapers have (though dwindling) they are struggling. Again read the article thoroughly (see the mention of Rupert). You need to slow down and not skip things. - The numbers in the article ( those things that aren't letters ) Also see the BIG graph.

Generations are defined not by a strict date, but by the events, technology, the things of the time. As an example, someone who grew up on Atari is probably dramatically different than someone 10 years before them. My sister was 16 when the Atari came out and I was 7. She skipped it as she was interested in boys. She doesn't get or understand technology or why we have a gaming industry. Thus, she is just out of Generation X and a totally different view on life.

Don't judge me now, but judge me in 2 or 3 years. If I am wrong then ban me.

Sorry some things you should take the time to read. Or if you are quick enough just look at the PDF and you should see a trend or eerily similar trends.

Added a graph and a link to where I found the data.

Never said running out of oil caused the depression. Please don't skim.

Yes, I am sticking my neck out. Lets wait 2 or 3 years then we will see....
