Would it be worth your time if it flopped? I think you should do it if you really want to.

Re:Why Facebook Will Fail Miserably Building a Smartphone on Wednesday May 30, 2012 @02:46PM (#4044197)

Ask HN: Anyone interested in Iranian startup culture?

Posted by roshangry on Friday November 11, 2011 @03:41PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'd like to do some blogging if I can, and one of the facets I thought would be interesting to look at was startup culture. I don't know to what extent it exists, but what got me thinking about it was a video game released fairly recently called...
