Although I am very much impressed by Mark's work, his dedication and particularly the way he is trying to be different from other teens in the same age group is really appreciable. But I am not inspired with his philosophy of 11 startups, my advice please start thinking big (I mean what is that threewords.me thing anyway), you can certainly do better things if you try to keep the larger picture in mind.

thank you very much! big is http://avecora.com - I've been told it's too big.

threewords.me was an MVP I built in three hours (two of them being design) that just randomly took off. never really meant it to be anything huge.

Could someone tell me what MVP means? I see that term used everywhere on HN, but I don't know what it stands for.

hey mark I'm glad you designed avecora front page now - explains very well what it does and I support it

I like that idea so much that actually I have been working on a social network doing just that. And it's gonna come out before 2013 :P Sorry :) Better hurry up!
