Haha, I know right :) Coming from someone else it sounds even more ridiculous.. so funny. Well, yes of course I've learned from this. But it's still scary because like I said, I never knew I could be like that. Who knows what other things I

January 2009 was the month in which I had my eureka moment too. Unlike you I still dont know whether it's going to work, but I can see my idea failing as well now. This time last year however, I was almost convinced I would be winning a Nob

Thanks for the story, I read it with great interest because I can really relate (like many around these parts I'm sure). I'm glad to see that you found the energy to see your project through until the end, even if it didn't work out eventua

I like #1 as well. But the hard part about that is the uncertainty. Am I a visionary or just delirious? :)

What about Dotnetnuke? As one of the biggest and most popular open source asp.net projects out there, I imagine their architecture to be very good.

As someone who has only recently taken his first steps in web design, the requirements above seem daunting, hehe

wow, thanks a lot... very interesting stuff that will be a great resource for my own paper on web economics!

I consider myself very introverted, but I think that most of the items on the list you can learn to deal with whether you are extra- or introverted. Most essential though : -Respect their need for privacy (yeah) -Let them observe first in n

You think long, hard and often. As long as you're the least bit creative, after a while (days, weeks,...) your brain will come up with something. Try deforming an existing word à la Google, try combining two words into one (techcrunch), try

Then what is this specific meaning that the author fails to understand? I think it's pretty clear what he means by it.

I don't agree with "5. Charge early, charge often." as being one of the things a startup SHOULD copy from 37Signals. Sure, it has many benefits, but it's just not feasible for websites that heavily rely on 'network effects' or user capital

Wow, so I'm guessing scaling is complicated :)

Yeah, I got that. What I meant was that although that makes them useless for my project, I love them for it at the same time.

"Finally, friends don’t count as respondents. By some quirk in the human psyche we would rather see our friends waste their time and money, rather than to tell them the truth!" I love my useless friends =)

Lots of people have gone before you, but maybe you've got a fresh take on this? I've done quite a lot of research on this subject, hit me up if you want to talk about it!

It wouldn't answer my question either :( I like the logo though!

thanks! that makes much sense.. I will also be writing my master dissertation on this subject, so I was glad to find a bibliography at the end of your paper. It’s quite hard to find good reference material on the topic. Thanks again!

At first I thought it was a joke, and I found it pretty funny. But you're not joking, so now I'm just disturbed.

It’s really nice hearing from failures from time to time. These kinds of stories don’t often get out, but they’re very educational on so many levels. Especially now when all too many people become so easily enthralled by success stories the

It's quite impossible to predict those numbers, as it depends on so many other factors outside of "it's a social web application!". For these kinds of things the only thing you can depend on before launch, for better or worse, is your own c

Yup, it is discouraging, but it's one of those things you have to do, otherwise you're just fooling yourself. You have to ask yourself, why am I being discouraged by this competitor? Usually it's because you're afraid that whatever you had

On the other hand I think it's really cool hearing from those who haven't yet succeeded as well! Just because it didn't work out doesn't mean that the steps they took were bad. Plus, learning from success is good, but learning from failure
