The question is ,are you behind money or are you driven by passion? If you are behind cash, get a job. Else, go for your startup dream, and stop worrying about MBA.

Now that you asked this question,my suggestion is , get a job, do an MBA.If your life's script has startup chapter in it, you will do it on the way!

Yah! a cluttered homepage is a traffic repeller.I havent seen Yahoo home page for a long time. Except for an old yahoo school group ,and now Ycombinator news, i dont really use any other Yahoo service. [In reality Yahoo is sheep disguised as Wolf.AOL is wolf disguised as Wolf]

Yes , it can be used to build applications with those capabilities. But depends on how you implement it ..just like Java. When implemented in browser, most of the sandbox restrictions apply.[Like java applets]. But when implemented in a desktop environment [using an OS dependent wrapper or on top of runtime like Apollo], it can write files to disk and do otherwise taboo karmas.

For updates on whats going on in actionscript community[or Adobe technologies in general], subscribe to Adobe's MXNA . Some of the finest Actionscript coders can be found at flashcoders pipermail list. [chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/private/flashcoders/]

For an opensource perspective on Flash and Actionscript visit: osflash.org

Dont feel bad, but the fact that novlet.com got rejected looks like a right decision. The home page has only a small block of usable information [Top stories section ]. Everything else is just space fillers.

Last registered users, Top usrs.. are all sections that should become prominent once the community gets strong.To let the section take a major portion of page doesnt make sense at this point of time .

Yes its an alpha, but when you do alpha,you should be DOING alpha.

Not that you guys have done a bad job, but the site gives an impression that it was cooked up without developers themself having no genuine interest in the site.

Please dont get discouraged even a little bit..Keep working with an open , positive mind. Best of everything to you . :)
