People don't get that when you make college free, you also take away a lot of the choice that goes into college. German colleges are free but the kids who are chosen to go to them …

There's only been one documented (via a lawsuit) in the 400K range, although that was a few years ago: http://adtmag.com/articles/2011/05/27/what-highest-paid-prog...

I never heard of Meerkat before this article. So the press blitz wasn't that great.

The goal of journalism is impartiality. And most good journalism comes as close as it can come. This article is not an example of that.

I was on a jury once. Many, many people can't follow simple jury instructions, figure out the difference between an argument and a statute (seriously), etc. And most of them had an…

With her husband's massive financial problems, there's no way $1 million would have made this worth it for her.

Definitely see a professional. They are the only ones that can tell how serious your depression is and recommend actual therapies for it.

Exactly. No publishing site serious about making money sells anything on a CPC. It's CPM or leads, all the way.

If you're doing this for a living the last thing you should be doing is relying on Google ads. The publications that make money at this have sales staffs (and much higher CPMs, and…

You are exactly right. There were issues at UBM that had nothing to do with the industry at large. And GigaOm just had too much debt to overcome (IMHO). Many, many other tech pubs …

CPM rates for enterprise technology sites are significantly higher.

There was a previous iteration of the site. It may have been that one.

And getting away from those Flash sales appeared to be a significant part of its downfall (at least according to the article -- that and the Europe expansion).

But are they? They did this, so unless you think they're completely naive (which in itself seems completely naive) you have to see fault here.

This is absolutely fantastic -- love it! Thanks for making this.

From my experience these types of programs frequently don't work for the same reason outsourcing articles to non-native-English writers often doesn't work -- most times, the end re…

Do exactly what this person says. It's the smartest move here.

You're not concerned about the copyright issues related to this?

Say the subreddit generally only get 5,000 page views a month, with one ad space per page. Once someone purchases those 5,000, it's gone -- they can't sell the inventory to someone…

Is this like A Humble Proposal? If not, it's pretty much the most ridiculous (and disjointed) thing I've ever read. Just really, really badly done.

This is something you really have to test. You can ask, but people often think one thing but react differently.

I'm a female executive and I've never, ever heard of that. Seems very strange.

You learn to just embrace the bitch label. It's the only way to get through it -- you're going to get called one whether you are or not, so you might as well own it and make it wor…
