To show that he wasn't fooling around with side projects when he was still full time at YCombinator? The journalist wouldn't have put it had it not been emphasized by his sources. And if they brought it up it's likely because

Cool, I tried to signup but needed an invite code:) I think that satago would fit nicely into a few media themes like what people can do to beat the recession, the empowerment of small businesses, and crowdsourcing data.

Hey Major_Grooves, that's a bug, IP geolocation gone wrong :( If you select United Kingdom you'll only get publicity opportunities related to the UK. let me know if I can do anything to help. By the way what is your startup about?

Hi Egreg, I'm going to go ahead and say that yes it is. In the sense that every piece of content you share online with your name on it is publicity. That includes that instagram photo of a great day at the beach, that blog post you wro

Hey minimaxir, you're right that they're not. Founders are short on time and need to focus. So I'm illustrating a point that you can reliably get publicity within the time limit that you allocate for this activity. It doesn&#

You could both be right. Login with Facebook, buy with 1 click. And let the merchant know all kinds of information about you to show you the right products.

They do, and the price is $0.0001 per tweet. Search rate limits through the normal API can be prohibitive for many use cases like news/brand monitoring. Or even citizen monitoring programs for local police. So they resort to datasift and gn

You're underestimating the drive hat comes from conviction in an idea. The guy has been living like a nomad. He gave away his book rights earlier to pay for his and the organization's defense. That's when all donations were blocked by credi

You might be right. Tweetbot for iPhone was launched under similar circumstances - not too long after the first anti-developer statement from Twitter.

I find it telling that in this AMA as well as a few other interviews he seems to be noticeably more excited about the educational startup that he's a CEO of than the driverless car or glass projects. I guess no matter how great an environme
