I am thrilled to see the term "Punctuated Equilibrium" used in regards to language evolution! Very interesting!

Excellent write up. What I find in a lot of these sort of Agile process stories is what comes before and after the process is almost more important. Developers and companies in gen…

If what you are building has a credibility and validity engine built into it (versus just crowdsourced upvoting), this could be a valuable tool for gamblers and fantasy sports fans…

Its real tough to be a solo founder and you need somebody with different skill sets to augment your own and to keep you on track. The various founder dating sites and events are a …

Did you try Import.io?

mailbox had their signup that showed you where you were in line to get the app which was pretty cool because it ticked down every day and you could see the number of people behind …

Leadpages is a great company and provides a ton of content and training on best practices.

Nice. Clean, staightforward, and will probably drive some money your way. It will be a great lead into other services and requests from customers.

If their goal was brand awareness they achieved it as I had never heard of them until now. That being said I want nothing to do with them.

Revenue is increasing but their cost of revenue is increasing while their earnings per share stays stagnant. I actually like what Microsoft is doing to try to adapt to the new worl…

In the case of the App Store, Apple is perhaps missing a lot of revenue opportunity due to the raise of the in app advertising platforms that have been built to generate revenue. T…

I think that each person is their own variance. So somebody might rate on a 1 - 10 scale at an average of 7 while others rate at an average of 9 so you have to apply context. I wou…

McDonalds had to compete with coffee shops, places with Wifi, installed RedBox to get people to walk into the place, and the general move toward healthier foods and locally grown f…

I think some times startups say "I know this is the law but it's outdated and let's see what happens..." Sometimes it's bad: Aereo Sometimes it's controversial: Uber / Lyft But for…

True... I guess the point is that the claim that startups haven't disrupted corporations is true in bulk but when you pick each company it is easy to see an impact a startup has ha…

I think the author of the article went looking for stats to support a title. Corporate America has been disrupted however I think this article was looking for financial failure ver…

We have a 2 month old and it's not. It takes discipline to focus on what you NEED to get done versus what you WANT to do. I would recommend a checklist of things (like mowing the l…

Execution is hard if you focus on the big end result of the idea. Break the big idea into small concepts or components. By breaking it down to all the individual steps you do two t…

You can get a long way without a product or user base. Look at Kickstarter for examples of ideas that generate money. I'm not saying they are good examples but they are examples. T…

One thing that I always find with the "rating" sort of systems is that negatives can always sink a site or reputation so instead of allowing negative postings, perhaps allowing peo…

Any startup takes time to get traction, regardless of whether it is unique or a different way to do what other sites are doing. Google AirBnB 1000 days and you will see that what i…

Read a ton of different sites and then mentally filter for hype. Also, depends on what you are looking for. If you want to work at a "hot" startup, by the time you heard of them yo…

If you are interested in Surveys based at a location, I'd like to recommend my company: www.RoomPoll.com It's free as well!

I'd recommend Weebly.com. It's fast and easy.

Forgot to add that the site is free to use and if we did charge it would be a flat monthly subscription like $10.
