That industry still exists and is thriving more now than ever. It's just moved over to mobile.

Getting a potential customer to download an app is the single largest hurdle placed at the beginning of the monetization funnel. You could make the argument that since a lot of the incentivized apps are free, it isn't really a laundering op

I do believe this reply has OP's best intentions in mind, but I find it to be a bit fatalistic. OP may very well have "the touch", it just may be that this particular venture wasn't the right opportunity for that to shine through. My point

Agreed... in essence this is why we're all here. As entrepreneurs we all educated risk takers, and we realize any venture is essentially gambling if there is no edge. At any time, there could be a new idea that pushes any one HFT algorithm

This is the best answer I've seen on here so far as to why Quora isn't ready for prime time, and why sites like Reddit will end up delivering better content over time. Sure, all of the atrocities mentioned (downvoting into oblivion, banning

Ironic; one could just as very well claim that America's mainstream media is among the most hype-driven in the world. Conversely, one could also make the claim that an app line Drones+ aims to take the hype out of the equation, by offering

Non-YC founder here as well. Please don't read results like this and think there is no way you will have success as a founder if you do not get into an incubator by this age. Rather, what should be looked at is that YC looks for a very spec

What a novel concept: users actually wanting to create and see ads because they are so incredibly targeted and relevant. I wonder at what point facebook lost their grasp around such a tightly coupled ecosystem.

I'm no expert in the going rates for storage space, but it seems kinda far-fetched that customers would be willing to pony up enough cash to sustain a business like this. After all, we have guys like dropbox who set the bar pretty high, all

Never had a problem letting my brain come up with solutions of its own. The problem lies in that my brain often comes up with solutions that are overly complex, which take a lot of work. The headache comes from trying to distill those raw i

I was one of the first appstore millionaires via my app Trism... I wrote it in my offhours before the appstore launched. Story here -> http://bit.ly/psyMBf Lots to say on the subject. Press is disorienting. Friends do change. Noone ca

I'm a single founder who's had success, and am toying around with the idea of starting an incubator. Wouldn't mind a partner this time around -- the single founder way is great for utmost control but sometimes you need someone to help you s
