100,000 is just a number in "tech" firms, which is a board category. 100,000 is a lot, but not really a lot compare to the current situation of the economy. You should look at how many of those layoffs are strategic, and many of them are just "cutting fats". I assume many company are using the time to cut their fats.

or it is the best time?

wow. I am surprised by aapl, they have 25 billions in cash~ thanks for the list!

he is offering to sell because Yang knows it is only going to get worse and lower. and he is still making more to sell now then later.

I know. Not much except that I have to move there and risk their business don't drop 50%. The other risk I am taking is I am leaving a comparable company in Canada, but a intermediate position.

are you using it urself everyday now?

just put in a deadpool startup and try it out. simple.

how are the articles added? RSS? or by editors?

Scoble doesn't know anything about VC. They are just the middlemen, they need to report back to their investor. Do you think they risk funding you and take the heat explaining to their investors?

I can criticize bill gates for not investing in my dog breeding business becuase it could get bigger, and keep on whinning, but what is the point?

exactly. Now when people are confused about something, they will go to wiki for validation, even they know it is not 100%. but people do trust it.

If google is able to change the habit to 'xxxx knol', i think google can do anything on the web.

I will be in San Rafael, likely not going to be in SJ.

I don't mind the commute, I just want a quiet and good neighborhood.

Of course yes.

This is how i feel as well. Talking about hosting cost, I believe with current VM technologies and the pace it evolves, it will become a less problem in the future?

i am not sure the real benefits, but I can smell it will be loved by spammers.

I would expect a data warehouse manager should make the list, usually they are bosses of data architects. Not many IT jobs needs more political and technological skill that a DW manager.

MA is a true believer in hypes. Can't you see that he is actually enjoying starting link baiting with exaggerating titles? The more bias he is, more ppl visits and comments, and more page view to claim. If you have commented, the chances that you are going back is higher, isn't it?

sounds good, but they are based on free data. If it works out for them, someone will jump it and offer it for free. Even though there is not much reason...

Thanks for the advice~ I would changen it definitely. Gut doesn't sounds good with meet/meat.

hee. I was thinking of gut feeling and meeting people spontaneously. and Gut actually means GOOD in German. Just a bit bkgrnd information.

Good idea. I just did it over the weekend and wasn't ready (no idea) how to make a proper front page. I will work on the front page.

I intended to deliver enough information for user to grab the idea in 3 seconds. But I guess it isn't a good idea after all.

I agree, there are others as well. One of my goal is to have no log in for anyone. Personally I think that logging in to use something is a big turn off to me.

Is there anything you'd like to see in such services? such as "um... ok now. I need to do this next, and it is not here" or "after organzing something, this is what I move forward with it." etc

I tried to add something easy, but everytime I try to attack one particular problem, it makes the whole thing complex, which is not what I intend to do.

Thanks for the advice. Actually I have done other facebook apps that I thought are useful. But I realize that people on facebook aren't looking for serious things at all. They are generous on throwing cakes to each other, but not for any real interaction that you would do real life.

I would give it a thought since it won't be too difficult to do it in facebook.

regarding the response, yes you do have a unique URL that you can share with others. I have only make email works since it is out of my scope (my habit) to communicate with others via other channels.

again. Thanks!

I just tried it, very slow. I was trying to upload a 2 gb file, it stops and stucks at 224kb.
