Re:Early Stage Startup Founders Should Probably Not Attend SXSW
on Thursday March 07, 2013 @12:00AM (#5336189)
SXSW should never cost you that much, ever.
Flying from any hub will be <$200 round trip. Book in advance and you can find cheap rooms (or share a room with other starving founders) and you can do it for <$80/night.
Food is free. There are enough companies sponsoring events with food that you should never, ever have to purchase food- unless you're having a lunch meeting with a potential partner, client, investor, etc.
Booze are free. If you're paying for drinks anywhere- you're wrong.
The people I've met at SXSW have opened doors, landed contracts, moved investment talks forward, and have generally helped more than I could have ever imagined.

The current admins really need to channel their inner anakata for their responses.

Disclaimer: I did contract work for Firebase.
First off, the Firebase team is beyond incredible. The dedication they show to their users and their product vision is unparalleled.
Second, the product is awesome. I can barely throw together a static HTML file without help and now with Firebase I've been able to mash together all kinds of neat little interactive WebGL demos.
As I spend more time developing my programming skills I'm happy knowing that Firebase will be there to help me grow.
Awesome release guys! Congrats!

Majority of that page tells me who the founders are, their business plan, and their investors, but not a whole lot about what they're going to do to help me.

Gas in Western SD (where I live) is a $2.66/Gallon.
That's not very high.

Throwing around $1B also signals that Microsoft is still around and still acquiring companies.

DHH is more than a rich amateur. He's been pretty successful since the start of his racing career.

As a frontend guy this is HUGE. I can build apps in hours/days instead of taking weeks+ to learn node.js/ruby/etc.
Re:AnnotateIt and Annotator: a new mode of communication on the web

New mode? Like Sidewiki, Reframeit, Highlighter, etc? If I'm missing something that makes this any different I would appreciate it if someone could point it out.

Just moved into a new place and were about to sign up for Comcast, but instead I think we will be going with Sonic!
Thanks!
