I propose we start an anonymous hate Agile haters organization.
Nice.
You don't. Seriously, I strongly recommend against it. I tried. After about 18 mo. I finally broke down and brought in someone I really liked as the CEO and it's a world of difference.
I would never again try to do a startup the sole founder.

Correction! Deadline is March 31st, Today! Sorry about that.
I've gotta say: I live in Boulder and I'm part of the startup world here and it's a lively bunch of folks. They didn't really touch on that in the article. Lots of talent, good funding sources, lots to do and overall a great place to do a startup. I thought the article captured the good and some of the bad (there's a reason we have bumper stickers around here that say 'Keep Boulder Weird'), but was pretty accurate overall. If you're looking into TechStars, you've got 3 days left to get your application in.
I started something called the OneNet Member Network (http://www2.onenet.org:8080/index.htm), a macintosh store and forward system baesd out of my garage in Los Altos when I was working at Apple Computer. Wired article here: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/2.03/eword.html?pg=13
Being an economics major in college, I have to say it's not BS, but it's tactical, not strategic in it's thinking. Politics and greed will keep the worst case scenario's from happening.

Ugg... stupid Valley Wag like Gossip story.
Gotta say: Bullshit point of view.
Try the web 2.0 company name generator. It's at:
This is an EVIL site. It sucks in your gmail contacts without even asking for confirmation. And I can't delete my account once I create it.
These guys are potentially HUGE email spammers (why else would they pull in emails without asking) and NO PROFILE DELETE??? Hello.. look at what happened to Facebook when they tried to pull that crap.
STAY AWAY from this site.
