    Personally, I hope Facebook owns the online dating space in a decade. It's time for online dating to die. I've had enough of my little sister calling me up with horror stories, lik…

    No way, jose. If he wants that much, he should quit for wall street. At the very least, he shouldn't be working for a startup at your stage. Frankly, if a potential startup CEO sho…
