    The World Is Mean (Online)

    PEOPLE 
    As many of you have already noted, it's the facelessness of it all that makes it easier. You can say (almost) whatever you want to whoever you want and get away with it. And since often you can use a nickname instead of your own name, it just lowers the threshold to be mean. Compare this to...

    How much would you spend on your logo?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    You can spend as much as you want. Just make sure that all the money invested in it comes from the profits of the company. Yes, profits. You should first have paying customers before spending a dime to a logo. Or how many times have you not paid for something you want/used something useful...

    Why is Google + Failing?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I believe that is definitely an important factor in it. Just think about it- Gmail, Youtube, Searches, Android... All Google products, all get info about you, your preferences, social connections and interests. It is indeed scary how much they can know about you. The other huge problem why...

    Forever Jobless has launched!

    HOT! 
    The problem with the background is that when seen on a 13" screen half of the text is behind the "content box". Here is how it looks on my Macbook Pro: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1523099/foreverjobless-twitterbg.png This could be helpful for you: How to Design the Perfect Twitter Profile Page

    Where Do You Find More Advanced Online Business Strategies?

    What exactly do you mean with "advanced strategies"? What specific goals do you need to achieve to reach next level? Sales? Income? Reach? It's kind of difficult to help without an idea what you are after.

    Rapper Math Fails Again

    FAILURE 
    People generally suck at understanding interest. This is just another proof of that. I have always found it amazing how some people need to show that they are "successful" when they are not. I for one would feel like an a-hole if I would get a Lambo or something in my current financial...

    Nail It, Then Scale It - Paul Ahlstrom

    EXECUTION 
    I really like "Nail it, Then Scale it"-phrase. I found the key principles from the book page, they are as follows: Six NISI Principles Principle 1: Entrepreneurship has Three Myths Principle 2: The Mystery of Market-Winning Innovation Principle 3: Get Outside Principle 4: Fail Fast and Learn to...

    Do you need all of that money?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    My thoughts exactly. And I think I might get a bit paranoid of meeting new people if I'd have 100+ millions.. I think I'd wonder if they want to be in my life because of me or because what I could do for them.

    Dane Maxwell- Build Software Companies in 6 months w/o money, experience

    HOT! 
    yeah, there is ~half a mil at least in that business. Of course there are affiliate payments, wages for employers etc etc. I think that 6.66% goal is rather small, especially considering that he has said in few of the interviews something along the lines of "he has cracked the code of creating...

    X Factor for Tech Entrepreneurs... What???

    Could be interesting, but it depends also a lot who else do they get on board for the show. 2 people from music/entertainment definitely need more tech muscle to be believable I think.

    .blogspot.com??

    It is fine, but as others said.... keep backups. And I am really not sure if you need to have a domain or anything like that. Sure, it is more "professional" and all but for example Seth Godin still uses .typepad.com (Seth's Blog) for his blog.

    Are Entrepreneurs Really More Comfortable With Risk?

    MINDSET 
    I think the linked article has a lot of truth in it. For me one of the drivers towards entrepreneurship is definitely control over what you will do and to which direction do you move. While working for others those things are pretty rare. When it comes to handling risk myself... I am okay...

    Entrepreneur Derek Sivers: GET A CUSTOMER!

    EXECUTION 
    To the first post: yeah, Derek is spot on. A business is not a business without a paying customer. And yeah, having a paying customer makes execution hell of a lot easier and forces you to do more of the right things, things that provide value. About his philosophy in life. Sure, he is not the...

    Very cool marketing from either those dudes or some of their affiliates: All sizes | The Foundation on Facebook | Flickr - Photo Sharing! . Not. So they are using Tim Ferriss' brand to also market this thing. Without permission of course.

    What do you think of this guy?

    For many that might be unrealistic, but I still think there is a grain of truth in it. Because if you don't like what you are doing, how on earth are you going to stick with that long enough? Actually, I would rather say "Do something that you don't hate". That's more realistic, has more...
