"I spend more than that on coffee." LOL. Every web service is pitched to me at "less than the price of a cup of coffee a day" Here are a few - 1) LinkedIn Business account 2) Emusic subscription 3) Adobe PDF writer 4) Freshbooks and the li

I should explain further. I started out with Dropbox and am almost at the limit. I don't have disposable income (startup founder). So I started looking for alternatives - that's when I discovered Skydrive. PS. Have you tried Zumodrive -

Yes, if you want to do a web 2.0 startup, then the valley is the place to be. No doubt! Although I then think of Flickr, Plenty of Fish, Club Penguin, etc. and realize that this is not necessarily true. How many VC-backed companies actuall

These guys can't. They're over 40 and we all know that unless you're 20-something you cannot do anything startup-related.
