I am ready to incorporate but the history is that I've had several technical cofounders who ended up working for 1-3 months and then moving on. 1. How do I compensate these people …

Another approach is to hire contractors overseas to build exactly what you'd like. Rentacoder, elance and odesk are great resources.

I had several would-be technical co-founders. They ended up quitting after putting in only a month - 3 months of work in exchange for equity. In most cases, they delivered some but…

Much appreciated - I've done google searches, and it is a bit difficult for me to tell whether the website is sponsored by a hosting company or not.

I didn't think of that. I went to feature requests and saw lots of requests for search, so assumed there wasn't an easy way to search. But, I'll give it a whirl. Thanks.

I third it. I can't code, but I'd be happy to help design a search -- my contribution to the community.

I've been using Godaddy, and their performance is slow. Even their home page takes 3 minutes to appear when Google is at 2 seconds. (By watching his video blogs, it appears that th…

This was validating: on self-financing, on being cheap/don't like to spend, outsourcing, holding off on getting incorporated. Yes - will definitely tell yc about it. Thanks.

Hey thanks - very practical advice - will definitely go to this forum to get feedback.

I did enterprise software in my past life, and am curious about what you need to do to get ready for public beta of a consumer website. OK - there's the obvious - have some alpha t…

More funding does not mean they can execute. I learned that lesson at Oracle, where a team 5x larger and in competition with mine claimed they could do everything and the kitchen s…

My brother just came back from the Hoffman Institute - an intensive 9 day seminar where they address how to have genuine and connected communications - picking up on patterns, and …

I like the idea, too -- neat! Perhaps include a field where an inquirer puts a price range of what they are willing to spend (including tax and shipping) would be helpful for you t…

Hey, thanks for the advice. I got one email from someone who recognized me who said, "Are you on crack cocaine?" but he's a lawyer. Including my friends' votes, the tally is 7 Posi…

Here's the situation: I have an extra room at my home. A developer I have been working with overseas is now excited about the idea, and is willing to fly here and live in the extra…

Actually, my boyfriend turned me onto Buddhism. He grew up with it - he's from Sri Lanka. He meditates every day, so much so that when he went to SF and they wired him up with the …

In my experience, emotional pain is as much a signal as physical pain - great you are paying attention. Research shows that sleep is an important factor in mood and overall product…

also, i'd like to comment is that you are doing 'market analysis' third-hand -- the products that companies offer are a combination of their opinion of what the markets need, and t…

I did the same as thorax. Often if you say you are considering becoming a customer, they will give a one to two week free trial. You learn a lot from salespeople and their sales co…

me three. it is so easy to announce -- you just tell people. it is more difficult to deliver. so, sharing with a close group of friends is not only what i recommmend but also the w…

i'm using godaddy email and it is -- well -- horrible. i was thinking of going to gmail because i really like the search and tagging functionality, and speed. (btw, i left yahoo ma…
