I can easily believe that Google+ isn't being forthcoming with their real intentions

Great idea, definitely will use this for my next car. Probably much easier to build a business around this than Padmapper.

I don't know how positive a picture this really paints. They had the uptick in the last quarter, but it's overall trending downward pretty seriously.

Believe it or not, this requires a real change in process for most businesses. Not many hostesses are hawk-eyed enough to spot an unhappy customer leaving.

Re:How to make an unprofitable Groupon campaign successful on Wednesday October 06, 2010 @04:41PM (#1765756)

In most markets, the waitlist to run a Groupon promotion is so long that it's tough for a business to dictate terms.

That is a good reason to run a promotion with a groupon-clone.

On the wiki there is a list of parking lots near campus:

http://wiki.startupschool.org/doku.php?id=parking_2009

In a few days that should be updated with a list of parking lots that do not reserve spaces for the game. Parking fines are doubled on game days, so be very careful parking on the street anywhere in Berkeley.
