Re:Congrats, Dropbox (YC S07) on Thursday March 26, 2009 @11:15AM (#533557)
Same here. I set up a dropbox for every team I work with. I think the idea of using a dropbox rather than focusing on syncing computer folders like what sugarsync does will reduce the fear of some people in uploading their folder contents. Dropbox being a folder by itself give people that sense of security and also it's a lot easier to explain!
@neovintage I totally agree with you. I am an engineer by training and is currently in the second year of business school. I would have to say this article has too narrow a focus and stereotype MBAs. There is a lot more to MBA than finance and people who sought for big payouts. I have come to business school to understand the business side of things. As an engineer, I just did not understand why this marketing people just kept asking me to make things that I don't see a value in.

Business School is a place that allows people with motivation and the will to change the world to share ideas with each other. Of course, there are also some people who are more keen in getting a comfortable job and lead a comfortable life. But so far for me, attending business school has extended my horizon greatly (I did figure out that finance is not my cup of tea and technology is my true passion). I have learnt a lot about people skills, finance (to help me understand term sheets when I startup), business strategy and ways to grow businesses so my ideas can achieve the biggest impact on people's lives.
