While considering the comments from fashion week, the potential is greater for multiple industries vs the historical desktop/pocket utility to develop on top of, moreover, the advantage can support beyond just hackers who can leverage opensource/SDK/APIs. I think the utility alluded to has game changing potential if big g plays the edge instead of the core competency.

This isn't the only disruptive horse running, though...

I was merely situating a story where I did not have academic support to move forward with a project that was relevant to the real world.

The earning cap statement has more to do with the relationship between professors and the companies that hire students from their schools. This becomes even more problematic since many firms do not hire candidates without specific academic pedigree.

Also, there were many cases where students preferred to do what the professor thought was most insightful compared to pursuing their own interest, since they wanted to secure their professor's recommendation.

This post was not a complaint about my situation. It's pointing out a harmful circumstance that could occur.

We want to add one more hacker to our pre-launch team.

We're expecting to release our early access and close funding (from a top tier NYC VC) both within a two month time frame.

Familiarity with the django framework and mobile platforms help. Off-site work is fine to start, but you need to be from the NYC area for team meetings (or willing to relocate).

I also bet a majority of their wealth is still in that stock, as major sell-offs of insider holdings suggests a company may not continue to produce growing profits - which hasn't been the case. However, I'm sure some still have quite a bit with extremely capable money managers.

I would not call that wealth stagnating in the least bit.

I could see this alarming the average person especially if Twitter was to distinguish their brand as the ubiquitous "realtime" search.

Anyway, I'm a recent grad and my partner is graduating in spring 09. We are starting something up in NYC. We may be looking to add one more guys on the technical side. Shoot me an email if you want to talk (address in profile). I was personally in a similar boat as yourself.

Good post - I see a big opportunity emerging for those who can figure out better ways to enable sophisticated use for and make sense of multiple databases.

I do not have any upfront costs, just sever costs for when the beta launches.

Also, due to complexity of software and databases, the development costs are a multimillion dollar project and will utilize several developers. I felt 35 percent was justified.

1- source of contact - substitutes include: old aol, aim, email, ichat, ect

2- representation of self to world - substitutes include myspace, most social networks, ect

asian markets have different preferences for representation of self than those facebook emphasizes.

facebook is having troubling scaling globally AND they plan to monetize on only advertising.

those employees made out nicely.

Truthfully, the labels will always remain dubious of emerging technologies because they realize their industry will inevitably shrink.

It follows even on through to the wall street ibanks. "Ivyleague type with above 3.7 GPA."

look at the mess they are in now.

It seems advertisements alone aren't covering expenses. The premium content (with higher production costs) brings increased viewers, so cable networks license premium content for better advertisement revenue.

However, I assume the premium channels will continue existing and prosper as long they get their tech right.

I tried to do my economics seminar on the web 2.0 monetization strategies. I wanted to liken the labor-leisure trade-off to a trade off between rent on privacy and monetary rent. http://joeter.wordpress.com/2008/03/12/a-basic-economic-mode... My teachers shrugged off the idea as impractical.

Delegation of responsibility is a concept of pivotal importance for any entrepreneur to grasp if they want to go very big. Isn't Richard Branson dyslexic?

Also, I'm waiting for the Human Genome Project to help elucidate more on the placebo effect.

I think it has a major correlation with the phenotypic vs. genotypic expression of faith - something all humans display toward an institution, ideology, themselves, and/or another person.

This will be immensely powerful information.
