That's what happens when you depend on solely on a user community for everything. You can't control it and the sooner digg realizes that and deals with it, the better off they will be. They've created a monster and are trying to control it

Aside from the items you've mentioned you should also consider these items: Proving your market - Attracting and registering large numbers of people prove it's something people want. If you can't give it away for free, there's a problem.

It's a good idea. I like the idea that this can get around the high transaction costs per transaction, but the points system is a little confusing. The one line of code thing is cool and should be easy to get publishers to try it.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think the business / enterprise world works that way with updates about what people are doing and all. Maybe some companies will "claim" their names on the site, just to reserve their name.

That's what I thought too, the startups they chose should not require them to have $18,500 to be in. As much as I don't think too much of their picks, they still don't have to pay $18,500.

CEO pay is a very good indicator. You should also pay attention to perks. Not all compensation is in terms of pay. A CEO to taking a lower compensation says to me they are taking the company seriously. It's another way they have skin in

Haha.. At least he's honest with both TC50 and DEMO. You could say the same about a lot of sites out there that launch, but knowing your site is going to get this much publicity and you don't do anything to at least grab some emails, subscr

To have the top 50 companies seems does more of a disservice to the people named in the top. 50 is just too many! After that it just seems like you lose the attention, impact and intensity of being on top. What is the success rate of the

I've used Camstudio and really liked it. Works brilliantly on a dual monitor setup. Have your script and outline on one monitor, and drive the screencasts on the other.

Growth is tough in general. A team getting larger forces a leader or leaders to emerge. Not everyone can lead or manage. Not everyone takes direction well. All separate skills from just being able to code or design. Larger teams is wher

When trying to figure out pricing another thing I have done in the past is preserve your premium pricing. It somewhat adds on to #8 and how "Everyone Loves a Bargain". You can use this in the beginning phases of selling a product or servic

I understand that they do have to charge money to attend the event and for the "demo" pit. The obvious reason is the money to cover expenses and profit, but another reason is to increase the barrier of entry with pricing. They are becoming

Is it going to be better than just putting the code in a search engine like google or something. Most of the codes I come across are unique enough that I get a direct match pretty quickly. Also what helps me is seeing related forum posts

That's a tough one that I'm looking at too. My thoughts on advertising is you need A LOT of traffic to make it worth your while. Or extremely good targeting. Which makes the ad model work for targeted blogs and sites with loads of content

I like the idea of having client meetings in one day. I never feel like I accomplished as much when a day is broken up by client meetings. Most of my work I do remotely, so in similar fashion, I tend to dedicate a client visit day, where I

I wonder what types of questions the founders are asking of Google pre-aquisition? As a founder, I would think you are concerned with what is Google's "vision" for your product/company. I could also see just the shiny things being enough

Without sounding like a broken record... Quickbooks. It's also easy to just give your accountant the qb file for taxes. I'd advise to stay with the non-online version. When I was looking at it awhile ago it didn't have everything I needed
