I tink that Cuil became a disaster because Gogle existed. When google came out it was easily 10x better than what was currently on the market. The same cant be same for cuil.

I am really sick of these articles; why cant we just focus on talent. Put the best people in the best positions. It should not matter if they are male, female black or white.

FB treats friendship like its bimodal when in fact its not. People have many levels of friendship and FB does not take that into account. IMHO that is the main weakness w/ their site right now.

All of the startup founders that I know are internally driven and do not depend on the environment and/or circumstances to motivate them. Just because I have more time than you does not mean that you use your time more efficiently than i do

2 months is not that long dude. I am a single founder and have been going hard for over 3 years. The key to it IMHO is to really love what you are doing so much that it does not seem like work. I dont launch either. Just iterate. See a

I am so glad to see someone that is not totally full of shit answer the "how much did x take to develop" question. I have made a few iPhone apps and I am always amazed by the low time estimates that non-iPhone developers give. Also, keep

The interesting thing about this video is that he says "We dont invest in people we invest in markets". This statement is the antithesis of the PG / YC strategy of investing in people and not products / markets.

The only thing that bothers me about this is that you must pay to apply. Even though the price is minimal I typically dont trust pay to pitch models.
