I have been using Sublimetext since few years. Its extremely productive.

Could anyone explain the advantage of Emacs over Sublime?

Is it a standalone tool or a web based offering?
Does twitter api matter anymore? I stopped using it a while back. I think stuff like this is helpful to businesses who buy their data.

Thanks Sam. Yes. I have worked in a startup for few years. I made very good friends, some technical and some management.

I found a good guy who is on the management side, I asked him whether he is interested in startup. He is just married, from a middle class family and he is not willing to take any risk.

I also know technical people. Unfortunately I did not find good people on technical side but they are very talented. When I say good, I mean honest people.

If the product is good and if the product has a single co-founder, what are the chances of getting accepted?

The reason is that I live in a place where it's very hard to find a good co-founder and I don't want to team up with the only options that I have. I don't want to make wrong choices. In my place, people tend to join companies and look for jobs rather than start companies.

I think joining a startup can help you gain technical knowledge. If a student is motivated money wise right from the college, he/she would definitely opt for big name companies. Ofcourse, this varies across geographies especially in terms of money.
