Being an entrepreneur, it's an amazing task to accomplish, fun and failure is hand by hand. I'm new to this site and by no means technical, but my business mind and communication skills are top notch, especially when it comes to adding creativity or designing schemes to target consumers and opening new doors for all markets of business. So, with all the great minds who share here, how about we...

Re:Ask HN: Do site ads affect perception of content quality? on Saturday February 26, 2011 @01:10PM (#2266084)
I'm currently working on launching 2 huge networks that profit mainly from advertising. The more interaction and innovative service offered to the user in return for them being subjected to the ad all depends on the grand scheme of the situation. If your site if providing content to read and your ads are not floating over the words or constantly popping up during the scroll, but they designated to a specific area and actually stay there, the user must understand those ads allow the content to be available.

Personally I'm blind to the ads, that's why my networks are designed to make sure you see and appreciate the ad being there because of how amazing the networks are, especially being free to the user.

The future of online advertisers lies in knowing specific interests of each internet user, creating an approval process to only allow the most creative and entertaining displays, and concentrating these ads into portals created for them to shine properly, not wasted at the top of a page that will be scrolled down almost immediately upon arrival.

The internet is to big and has to many offering to really cash in on this concept, that why the richest man in the World has yet to surface. A controlled network being used while consumers are in motion of spending money holds key to the biggest fortune man has ever seen.....coming soon, to town near you - GTV

Re:My Message To Google: Stop Cheating on Saturday February 26, 2011 @12:37PM (#2265996)
Yeah, the Mcdeez analogy doesn't really work, but you know what I mean anyway....
Re:My Message To Google: Stop Cheating on Saturday February 26, 2011 @12:03PM (#2265908)
Let me get this straight, the World is accusing Google of cheating because its search engine provides a Google based client amongst the first choices instead of the client that might be more familiar to that factor.........

Tell the Harvard professors to walk into 2,000 McDonalds and order a happy meal and take a survey and complete case study on how many clerks suggest Burger King before they suggest a number 3 value meal.

Now, if Google wanted to be firm, and maybe this does exist, not sure, but when the only privileged results in a search should come from companies who pay for it, and if they do pay for it, Google should have a special surcharge from companies wishing to appear above Google services in that specific search.

Google doesn't cheat, it does what most businesses try and accomplish, a way to run your customers back into your cycle. - GTV

Re:Newborn Mice’s Hearts Can Heal Themselves, Study Finds on Saturday February 26, 2011 @03:57AM (#2265178)
Its all mind over matter. Whenever I think good about someone, a movie or a song, within hours to a couple days, that factor comes across my life. Here is a secret to heal your own heart, close your eyes and imagine your body to be blue, all the red spots you see are on the image of yourself need to be healed. Force the blue to overcome the red and then blow it out like releasing a deep breathe, MAGIC! You have now mastered the ancient form of self healing. Science is understanding what the mind already knows, an extraction process of unique information.
Re:Whoa... Groupon Generated $760M in Revenue in 2010 on Saturday February 26, 2011 @03:22AM (#2265144)
I would of take the 6 billion from google and went to dubai to join the prince and built an island in the shape of a giant coupon. With such a huge work force they need to just about monopolize the coupon game before they start committing suicide for not selling.
Re:Ask HN: Do you actually read cover letters? on Friday February 25, 2011 @11:30PM (#2264875)
One more thing...some online postings don't reveal the company hiring, but, if they do, access their website, pick 2 points about their company that requires yours skills (if possible) and give your point of view as if you already worked for them, of course don't be negative, maybe even just compliment the situation. BROWNIE POINTS..
Re:Ask HN: Do you actually read cover letters? on Friday February 25, 2011 @11:24PM (#2264870)
From a restaurant perspective, a cover letter can be the deciding factor before performance is proven. Some employers don't require them, but most will. Its your chance to show communication skills and possibly spark interest before your resume is viewed. I've read cover letters that have been so appealing, I only used the resume for contact information - GTV
