Thanks for the advice, that's a really good start.
Crowdnetworking, a new way for startups to network and promote themselves.
Ask HN: I'm a Mech Engineer where can I find a job in a Tech Startup?
Lately I've been interested in the grassroots startup community and have considered making the switch from my regular 9 to 5 job as a Mech Design Engineer to join a Tech Startup. However, for some reason I cannot code my way out of a brown paper bag to save my own life (aka I'm not an expert, but can find my way around in the codes).

Re:Ask HN: Where is the real innovation of the past decade?

I wouldn't go as far to say crowdfunding is indeed true innovation. As a society, we've been using this method for a long time, again, we've just created a website to make the access to cash flow a lot easier. However, with the advent of crowdfunding, I do see more creative projects being worked. But are these projects innovative? Granted, most innovation requires time and extensive research. I'm just worried that we have not spent the time to invent meaningful things. We are obsessed with the word "Entrepreneur" and the quick buck that comes along. The link you've provided is a great example of how crowdfunding should be used to fund real innovation.
Ask HN: Where is the real innovation of the past decade?
I'm an Engineer and I wanted to know this, am I the only one worried that our society has not seen true innovation in past decade? Maybe I'm wrong but ever since the recession, all we've created is a bunch of iPhone apps and websites. How do we get our brilliant minds to work on things meaningful?
