are you serious? you will never see a $30 a barrel ever again.
and if they attack Iran you can say hello to $200 a barrel.
"It has to be short. It should take 5 minutes or less in person. An online video should be no more than one and a half minutes long."
That is so true, i have attended some demos that went over 20 minutes, at the end I felt like punching the demo-er in the face.. some people literally walked out of the place.
Remember, if you are not Steve jobs do not talk more than 5 minutes.
I am frankly not going to read the article, the title is enough.
Thanks, I been thinking the same thing, maybe launch and revisit the possibility later.

Hello guys,
Well, i have been working on my startup since last august, taking everything into consideration it has been going as planned. except the plan it selfWe started with 30K dollars and it has ballooned to 150K.. all that aside here is the million dollar question.The site will launch soon, money is sadly an issue but so far hasn't been a really big one yet, some people took a dive with...
Wow, so they are a YC startup??
congratz to all people involved.
assuming you have a good product/service, a good logo and catchy easy to remember name is the foundation of the free word of mouth advertising.
lol!
Actually with ning you can sell your app since Network creators would love to add new and enhanced features on their networks, and willing to pay to get it.
there are 1000 networks being created everyday (based on what ning says) I would assume at least 900 are useless and would never come to anything, 75 would be small 7K+ users, 20 will be a good size 25K+, 5 will be 50K+. all these numbers are completely pulled out of my ass so please don't hold me to them it just to show you that there is a big potential there, at least I think there.
I own a network on ning(for fun) that has 2500 members and it has only been around for 5 months, the site caters to a specific type of profession (court reporting) and so far I have bought 2 apps that I installed on my network and I can assure you I would by more if there were around.
Good lord, I cant spell to save my life!

I respect each and everyone of you, Some times when I read your posts I feel your joys and pains as we all in the same boat here.I am the founder of 2 sites, one launched 6 months ago (made many many mistake) and I am getting ready to launch my new baby in a month or so.ok, thats just an introduction.the...
Congratz!
15K hits only? I thought getting TCed would get you at least 50K to 75K.
Still great.. and good app too.
thanks!
A couple of times while I was in that state, the "pre sleep state" I was convinced that I discovered a way to fly while flapping my arms, it felt so real and was 100% convinced it would work. I was so happy... the next day I couldn't remember the "arm flapping formula". yes, it felt that real at the time.
I will believe it when i see it.
that said, I seriously doubt it.
Nice job guys, wish you all the best.
My startup launches in 3 weeks :)
very good and simple idea.
