Can Tech directly solve it though ? My instinct tell me that perhaps there are some server hosting companies that tolerate such materials who need to be blocked.

You will need to somehow flag users and kick sites out of the index. What will happen as well I assume is that there will be niche forums and as they are tricky it will go on deep.

Any ideas what can be done ?

I m not an expert on fighting crime online. cheers

What I like is that its an honest hands on approach from a founders view with the thus resulting experiences. I work as a VC and I could not explain these observations in the same way and give the feeling of being with you in a bar in a founder to founder relationship.

Look forward to reading more :)

I think this list was curated partly by celebrity status. I checked only the top 5 of that list and the follower number varies , so its not in order of hightest to lowest.

It cannot be fund size as someone like Dave McClure or Jeff Clavier's funds have lower fund size then say Khosala Ventures.

I agree, there should be more info. What I like about it is that so many people have good ideas and with guidance could make it. I learned it myself and you get skimmed countless times due to lack of knowledge and experience, so I believe this great guidance to prevent potential failure from elementary cheating moves or either amateur mistakes. So this one reason in hindsight Id appreciate a service like that.

Do you think this model can work and also in other territories ? Basically people with just ideas can be taken on and then formed to be companies. This is even earlier then Y Combinator. I wonder if this can be done in other countries and what your thoughts are .

Do you guys have any favourite spin offs of Gagnam Style ?

The structure is always the same like taking some memorable moments of the video eg at the start the plane or the guy shaking his pelvis in the lift , then take some other stereotype or celebrities in it. So I actually wonder how many more views came from the parodies.

Last similar wave I remember was the "shit says " series maybe 6 months ago that had a similar formula.

here some examples:

Mitt Romney style

Sick and tired of all the hype around Berlin. Startup Genome confirms with figures that there is more substance in areas like Tel Aviv which is not as heavily covered. What are your views , especially people from the other top 20 cities . cheers

How would you entice users to use this tool. Is it whitelabel for the company to then post on social media sites to be answered by job applicants.

I think an interesting aspect is something of a competition aspect as well . Gamnes or competion with others to show how you act under pressure. Psychological tests.

How do you incentivise users to do it ? when i email apple for example for a job I feel i m directly with apple, in this case there is a middle man? Whitelabelling could be a solution to prevent anyonomity.

I would only offer this type of offer maybe on jobs where they want a filter , and if you get X amount of points, you can then only submit your cv. I would see this tool as a bouncer in a club, not let everyone in so there is less work and then as the bouncer ( your tool ) to filter them out.

Think of pareto 80 20 . The majority of time wasters and dum b asses are in the 100 % group, you can easily knock out many at that stage through automisation, the other stuff is to resource rich in demand, so your wasting time. So this tool I d say is best a door man to reach the telephone interview stage.

eg Job Offer --) Do tests , if you get 80 % you get submission form --) submit application

thats where the money is and most help. I would forget the other stages. make sure you reduce it as much as possible for even the CV screening stage. You ll save so many man hours that even a 100 $ a month fee is worth nada

cool idea and greetings from Berlin
