This should be a community-like group?Sounds interesting.

You are underestimating ideas.While I do agree with you in 80%-90% of cases, there are still excellent ideas that should stay under the radar.If you don't execute an idea doesn't mean it worths nothing.It means you don't harness it's power.It's kind of the same as having 1 ton of gold in your garage and keeping it there.

Honestly, I don't know why LinkedIn is so "cool".There is nothing innovative there.I knew it from the beginning.But awesome advertising wins.

Mchannon is right.There is no proven formula for this.In fact, there is no proven formula for anything.If that were the case, Steve Jobs would have been a simple worker.Pure talent is always an exception yet there are always few exceptions.

An email would be great.I believe I can help you that.

Leave an email here.I will solve your problem.And no, I am not joking.

I think it's weird.If they "really" like you then they should hire you as soon as possible.Or at least give you a temporary position.

Well judging by the budget companies like Facebook, Google, Microsoft and so on have, they could theoretically copy almost anything and render startups and/or existing companies useless.Should we all give up on creating startups?No, definitely not.

Snapchat made a crucial error when they decided to refuse acquisition by facebook.I don't know what they were thinking.They should've analyzed the situation beforehand.They had no real leverage to refuse it.

On a side note, Facebook is powerful because we empower it.We could say it is an identity database and it is used by 800 mil people if not more.Also it is addictive to most of them.So in conclusion it's easier for users to just add something related to their already well established page.

You must understand that a startup should be "sacred" for founders.You don't go on this quest just for money/fame or any other superficial reason.There needs to be a synergy and passion in the team.Of course no startup is without problems but some things must come naturally.

Lack of communication outrageous me honestly.I've seen this over and over again.It is extremely important to have good communication.Plus the fact that he works is another downside here.A successful startup needs dedication.

Well, someone definitely knows your number and did this to have fun.Unless someone has a masterplan to steal your phone also hehe.Or perhaps it is just spam...
