Where I live we have 5-6 and they have worked great. The first time through can be interesting. Years later they are just a normal part of the the road. Everything is clearly marked and lanes are painted brightly. The upgraded intersections are very quick to get through now. In the past you could wait six or seven light cycles before getting through. Now you might have one short stop.

Twitter just removed the 140 limit for DMs but users are still restricted by the limit in tweets. Sometimes you need a few more characters to say what needs to be said. Tweetstorms or multi-tweet messages work but can be confusing to users. Multi-part tweets can be lost in the timeline and creates a nightmare with multi-threaded messages or lost context. Prolixy makes mega sized tweets quick, simple and streamlines the interaction with users.

Last year I saw him perform on stage. Halfway through the show a child walked up to the edge of the stage. B.B King stopped in the middle of his riff said hello to the child, smiled big and handed him his pick. The band played on during this exchange and he quickly pulled out another pick and started in again, never losing a beat. Several more kids flocked to the stage and B.B King stopped for each and every one of them and did the same thing. He probably went through 50 picks that night. Although a bit disruptive to a great performance it was touching to see his engagement with kids.

Do you feel the reverse auction approach left money on the table? I know you got a bit of push back on the price from those looking for a "deal" but you have a potential sale at your top price.

It was this line - "On Thursday night, after exchanging texts all day, around 8:00pm local time the girl sent me a picture of her in order to convince me to meet her at an event she was going to."

Find the event Thursday night at 8:00pm in Austin and start tracking down from there.

Completely agree. I created a site that is a vine web viewer for shared vines on twitter. To date I've collected over 86 million shared vines and the majority of those are in the last month. It took the entire month of February to reach 1 million vines, today it ranges between 1-3 million a day. The introduction of the Android app really accelerated the growth and I suspect a slight lull will come up as the newness wears off.

Maybe its just me but the need to be incorporated is a poor requirement for a startup.

Jason looking long term do you see an expansion of the school with satellite campuses. Clearly one of the benefits of the current location is access to the talented resource pool in Chicago. Chicago, Denver and Kansas City are some of the few places in the Midwest that have an ecosystem, though small in comparison to the west coast,to support and encourage budding builders.

It is much more than that. On a good day the only thing you have to worry about is the sprinting. Then there is the very loud gurgling noise…almost like your hungry but 100x louder and disruptive. Try sitting in a meeting when that kicks up. Then there is the 10-12x trips to the bathroom and the issues with rawness that comes with it. Don’t forget about the constant, and I mean constant, pressure associated with having to go. It becomes very hard to translate the pressure vs the real thing. This is one reason “they” recommend carrying a backup set of clothes just in case. These are just some of the side issues the real issues are the pain and cramping. During a flare you basically shed the inner lining of your intestine. Painful, irritating and interesting to pass. Your intestines are inflamed and you feel bloated in a weird way. You feel full and eating is the last thing you want to do. Your diet shifts to low residue foods which equates to nothing fibrous and could pass through a straw. You get very tired as it is physically and emotionally draining. You don’t eat because it hurts, you don’t sleep because you are getting up 2-3x a night to go … or try to go. I could go on and on. In the end it’s unlike any other disease. It has a huge impact on a very core function required to sustain life. It is difficult to describe and convey to a healthy person. There is no cure other than removal of the colon and the medications to get you by are very expensive($850+ a month) and come with their own set of issues

Why single out Amazon? You should have the same concerns with any provider. If you lose sleep because you are unsure of your provider then the only option is to host/manage/backup yourself. Regardless of who hosts it there will be human error and technical glitches. It isn’t about if something will happen it is when. Design in such a way as to minimize recovery time and effort. Plan for failure.

I have used it for a couple of one off things. For the most part you get what you pay for. If it seems too real to be true it is. Don't expect to get 1,000 facebook likes or 10,000 twitter followers for $5. You won't get social proof/traffic that amounts to anything. Take the $5 and buy a beer for a well connected friend, you will have much better success.

What problems or repetitive tasks do you face on a day to day basis? Odds are others do too. Find a way to mitigate or address these challenges in a simple web friendly fashion. Evaluate the market to ensure your not getting into an overly addressed problem/task. There are so many things working against you when you clone or mimic a site. Take the easier road and contribute something new.

It sounds elementary and glamor free but it is a proven methodology.

No, no its not. I am not saying people shouldn't have 1g connections. My point is the majority of these users will have no idea how to handle it..like giving the keys to your Ferrari to a 16 year old. If everybody had this type of access and they continue poor security practices there will be an impact.

This sounds cool but will have an impact on the Internet. We all want more and more bandwidth but it comes at a hidden cost. Today’s computer is so much more powerful than just a few years ago. These computers in the hands of novices coupled with extreme amounts of bandwidth create the perfect environment for hackers…not hackers like us but the botnet credit card thieving type. The average home user doesn’t know how to secure his/her machine. In years past a sluggish computer might have been a good sign you had a virus/Trojan/malware. Today these machines can send millions of emails, portscan servers or participate in DDOS attacks and the user has very little if any noticeable performance hit.

In short more!=better.
