Re:What's the best startup story you ever heard? on Wednesday August 29, 2007 @12:30PM (#47871)
My personal favorite is the story of the Lycos founder in "Founders at Work". The guy just got a call from a VC, saying "we will give you money if you run a company with this great search technology we bought".
You make a surprisingly random assumption (500 apps) and then base your entire post around statistical interpretations of that assumption.

Bravo!

You should become an economist.

Re:List of things that people believed would change the world on Tuesday April 10, 2007 @01:16AM (#11120)
Seems like Amazon S3 is the top candidate for changing the world. XHTML and podcasting are close second, followed by mobile technologies and the like. No mention of any non-Web 2.0 stuff, such as medicine, energy or politics. Pretty funny.
