I've always thought that live tweeting during conferences was incredibly lame and obnoxious, both as a presenter and an attendee. Rarely do people add value with their live tweets. And when I do want to find something of value at a conferen

I'm not sure you would find many that disagree with this argument. But this movement, like many others, has been hijacked by people who aren't quite aligned with that message. The purity of it has been disrupted and that becomes the story t

With all the make-money-online blogs and programs out there, it is good to see someone taking a little time to also highlight the temptations and challenges that you'll face. I'm afraid the 4-Hour Workweek mentality has been sensationalized

Interesting idea. I think it is best-articulated with the phrase, "Choose the path of least resistance in order to complete your degree." Finding a developer is very difficult. Have you thought about pitching the idea to one college and see

Doesn't this all fit into the category of a leveraged buyout?

All depends on the complexity of your project. We tried using open source BI but it just didn't accomplish what we needed. QlikView, on the other hand, has been a great solution. My only concern with QlikTech is that they're a bit arrogant

You're exactly right. The barriers to entry are significantly higher when trying to innovate in "real world" problems (vs entertainment based ventures). Hopefully incentives, incubators, and resources will come into play to help navigate th

Unfortunately not. Half my problem might be that I'm located in the anemic Midwest. St Louis to be exact. Are virtually connected co-founders very prevalent?

Startup speed dating is a cool idea in my opinion. The single hardest thing I've ever done is trying to find a co-founder. Two years in I'm still looking for that partner. Anything to help alleviate that pain point would be tremendous. Flyi

Congrats on getting your idea up and running. That's always the first and most important step. I'm not quite sure I get it though. Can you share an example of what I'm supposed to do with your website? It really needs some instructions and

Why would StockYoyo picks be better than one of the million other investing sites out there? ... My impression is the real value of this website is play versus plan. Other sites are more heavy and technical but this one is more light and fu

I like the concept. It's light and fun and I could see how it would become addicting especially given your game mechanics setup. Are you using a third-party platform to run that? From a marketing perspective, this might be something to pitc

http://springwise.com is another website I use to discover new and interesting ideas. Reality is you need to keep your ear to the ground in a few places.

It might be buggy. There are things you could and should change soon. But the fact that you know this and are ready to start the iteration process already means you're really a million paces further than most bootstrapped startups that are

I don't quite get it. I arrived at the site and didn't know what to do. You might want to add some visual clues that better explain what the user should do. Good start though I think you could do well with this, even focusing on more than j

There are some great comments here. I don't need to repeat what's been said, but would like to add that you should not go for a big launch yet. Instead, invite some people who fit the definition of your core audience and ask them to test th
