Prepare a very accurate estimate. Now double it. Now add 50%. Add a clause that meetings will be billed according to hours actually taken.

google is evil, amy hoy: http://slash7.com/2009/03/26/google-is-evil-worse-than-paypa...

naaa, it's a simple lesson: If your startup has a developer like DHH who built a widely successful and popular framework used by the entire web, and than won the Google coder of th…

angel investing in others

You did a good thing. It's an open source project and this is the right way to join forces. The target is ambitious enough. And there is really nothing wrong with an open letter: a…

It's very easy to explain why things will fail. In fact, most startup fail. Most VC investments, with all the balances and checks, fail. For any given tech venture, anybody who say…

For the record: This time 37 signals is perfectly right. These patents are absurd. The most is "objects for keeping settings". Really, they just covered everything out there, any s…

any recommendations please?

It was not playing, but a genuine opinion, but easier to judge as troll. I believe it's not more attention but a real blow.

Thanks. I usually don't. Just felt it's unfair post for these Diaspora guys.

I think it's a legitimate opinion. The comments are about facts. Please read the links I provided.

I think that Fried's post is trolling. It's not a simple opinion: it may well slow down their finance. 4 brave guys, dedicated for an important goal, in the right time. Instead of …

But not in Google Apps! Google had no problem to add tasks (talk to remember the milk). But why not project management? BTW - it's fair. J.Fried is using his ammunition to protect …

And you tell me, please, why there is no project management solution in Google Apss

So 4 CS grads raising below seed round range for a much needed project and supported by so many people is a Curse? For THAT he could not sleep? A pity that this attitude comes from…

Huddle-chat was free. They shut it down for no reason but J Fried loud "Google is evil" complains. Techcrunch here http://techcrunch.com/2008/04/08/google-to-close-huddlechat/ Giga…

Than how do you explain his (successful) campaign against the free google chat that competes with Campfire? Google shut it down, basically, because it's "unfair to J.Fried". Since …

Think Wordpress. Fried just doesn't want you to have that option for project management. It's not about Diasopora, it's about Basecamp.

fair, but let them finish the finance properly. This is not a reality check, it a move to stop the finance from a potential competing tool

great point

big diff

1. Everything in this industry "starts with a few geeks". Including FB and that colorful logo company. 2. Let's do the math: FB valuation is 25B. 2% chances * 25B = Expectation of …

as long as the protocol is done right, applications are endless. TCP is maybe 30 years old? The copy is an issue - because once it's copied you can not fully control it, similar to…

True, true, true. They will not take FB themselves, but this project will start the underlying infra. The "BitTornet" of social networks. Than we will need the clients, the eco sys…
