Very frankly, twitter is half an idea, and while the half is pretty good, the lack of the second half makes it not keep users. Even crappy TV shows grow on you. Twitter does not. It's like IRC - there is a large and dedicated group of peopl

Technology startups require very specific knowledge about particular topics. For example, general business marketing is very different from marketing on the internet. You may think you know it, but if you've never done it, you don't know it

Twitter is a bit of a niche app for this. I think more of your potential users would use facebook than twitter.

I think that business has to stay a bit neutral, because it's a place where people are thrust into. That's what etiquette is - it's a way of ensuring that different people follow a similar set of rules so that there is no friction. If a per

Actors are cheap, you know. People with name recognition are expensive, but the actual acting is pretty cheap. Sets and animators can be replaced by software. Think stock sets, stock backgrounds, 3d programs that allow you create sets based

Content creators can't make money... yet! Video content is expensive and difficult to produce because it has not become widespread enough for millions of people to actually be doing this. For example, compare Word Processing to TV editing.

My comment will get lost in the noise, but I'll give you an insight here that you will likely hardly hear again: You want a thrill of success. At the age you are in, your brain is hardwired to search for success. Programming gives you succe

No you don't want to pay. You say you do, but if you walked by a street and two guys stood there, one guy offering you a DVD for free and not saying a word, and the other guy yelling at you to buy the very same DVD from him, you'd take the

You seem to be living in a world that does not have much to do with reality. It's not "crazy" to pay $300 for Vista when the programs you know are on Vista. People are paying $300 right this moment to not have to use Ubuntu. Quantity does n
