regarding options and anaylysis, Venture Hacks is an excellent resource, here is a specific post http://venturehacks.com/articles/option-pool-shuffle#more-11

here is some basic negotiation advice http://jobhacks.wordpress.com/2007/08/08/offer-negotiation-t...

regarding the comment to mention another offer, that is cool if you really have one. It wasn't clear if the poster was recommending a "bluff" which is not a good idea at all. More important than the offer is how will the experience increase your value in the market. http://jobhacks.wordpress.com/2007/08/01/career-equity/

thats all there is to the registration, an email address and password. With that the user can save their work history from which their graph is built. they can then find companies that are in their graph, get feeds from those companies regarding milestones and openings and save companies of interest. keep track of companies they submitted their resume to. they also can edit and add companies to the database,

Yeah, we have some really secret and highly proprietary stuff in there. :) Sorry, that is just an oversight, not meant to be like that.

Yes, I did mention exactly that in the post "Granted, the blame is mostly ours, due to a less than attractive design and muddy benefit message, maybe most could not see past that to get to the business proposition."

issue of real estate and equity are not verbally binding. this has the potential to turn bad. they have something to divide, the equity. are you saying they have not incorporated and dont have stock? seems that you are not paranoid and this is indeed a red flag. Keep looking or wait until the equity issue is resolved.

just checked , is working now, sorry for the problems. finding problems along with getting the feedback

yea I know the term, didn't connect the dots , brain is YC dotted as well

sorry, brain not connecting the dots,

thats how it works. Then to see matched companies, an email is all that is required for registration to be able to create a profile (past and current employers) and then have Genotrope create a graph of related companies which show up on the find page.

see prefuse credit at bottom of graph window

no etiquette, just post it and they will come. I dont think you will have to worry about what people REALLY think.

loopt, xobni, scribd, wufoo, weebly, zenter I dont know, names are hard. Is it memorable? hangoutandlearnaboutyourlocalstartupmarket.com was taken :)

i dont know what that means? y (space) combinator in the database

thanks yeah, there is a flash version about ready to drop. it is overkill for the simple graph, but when we map all web 2 startups in boson. or compare two VC to see if they have invested together in the past, being able to zoom and pan will be more useful.

it is public knowledge what companies the founders and executives came from. Are you thinking connections like people they know ie friends . look at the graph for y combinator or ITA software and you will see what the connections refer to. Yes companies are the clients.

would you prefer karma rather than credits?

point well taken, since users can enter and edit the database of companies, how would you approach trying to keep some semblance of security for the database without knowing who is modifying it?

thanks, yea, a destination to stay informed about local startups, and if you want, pursue job opportunities.

thanks, the faq issue was an oversite, the rest we can fix. what is the issue with colors, what site colors do you like

you could say that, founders move from company to company and create similar work environments and hire similar quality people

back up, well see how long it lasts

uncle, uncle,,thanks, may I have another. I was expecting brutal good feedback so keep it coming. Ok, we are down now. will get it back up and try again. thanks for the pressure
