Cool app! How do you guys plan to make $$?
The problem with social media outlets like twitter and Facebook is that they're too broad for small businesses to use. For example, ppl don't just go to Facebook or Twitter to connect with small businesses.
Any cons with large firms like Wilson Sonsini, meaning would they charge an arm and a leg once a startup gets funded?
Thanks Paul. Oh and I know you like to eat cheese.
Anyways, so should I be picky about which firm to go with?
Does anyone have any good law firm recommendations in the Silicon Valley?

I was recently approached by some lawyers in the Valley telling me that I should incorp my startup. The told me they'll defer the cost until we get funded, and they'll introduce us to their investor community.
With that said, do lawyers really help you get funded or is it just a bunch of horse Sh$%!?

You might want to focus on smaller bloggers since they're more desperate for content and more willing to write about you. Having multiple write ups from upcoming bloggers can can add up to more hits to your site.
Yeah I would totally quit and start your own company! Think of it this way since a lot of superfluous startups are dying, you'll have less competition.
Plus, life is too short working for douchebags.
Does anyone have any ideas to get the gov't to ban daylight savings time?
Thanks! That's great advice!

I'm trying to launch my app, and I want to know
what's the etiquette for asking bloggers to write about your product?Do I write a short description, a press release, etc...?
My answer is to check out sites like GetSatisfaction and Uservoice.com.
As for the trolls, we have a karma point system in place.
Now he knows how business owners feels to receive a bad review.
Sites like yelp don't give value to the local businesses.
A better solution is to allow the businesses to reply to the customer's post like a forum.
My team and I are working on this right now and will be launching soon!
You should have some sort of contest to get more ppl to sign up and create content.
For example, the user with the most votes of the day wins X.
