Re:Why was a scam company able to raise $76 Million Series B? on Sunday September 30, 2012 @09:33AM (#4592819)
There's a big public one of these called Groupon too...
"Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life" or so they say. As a mid-40's veteran of multiple startups, I say do what you have a passion to do. If that's fishing, live to fish and do what you want to support that passion. If it's whatever you're working on, then you're good.

In your case, perhaps your drive and your passion are not aligned at this time. Once that's fixed, life becomes much better.

Well said. I call it Grouponzi.
Very interesting approach, hope you post a follow-up to this experiment.

Re:Which of America's Presidents was the biggest spender? on Monday November 21, 2011 @05:19PM (#3263064)
Congress spends, Presidents don't. Kind of a myth. Interesting data nonetheless.
Interesting in principle, but I couldn't open the About Me or FAQ, so hard to tell. Won't give up credentials to who knows who the people are.

Looks like a very cool technology, wonder if they will release the data to the public?

Don't know, the background is certainly custom. The timeline seems to be auto generated. Here's another one I found that seems pretty cool.

Nice implementation. Looks more like a feature than a product. There are others that do a similar (better?) job at this like http://re.vu/

Saw this on a prior comment thread: http://re.vu/BarackObama

Buried in their About page are the founders:

Sure, how about this one:

Yeah it's simple. But if you want simple and better, http://re.vu/ is far superior.
