Well of course it did, "Web 2.0" didn't hardly exist in 2005. Tim O'Reilly's summary of Web 2.0 was written on the last day of September, and pg's essay was in November. The Web 2.0 concepts were out there earlier, of course, but there wasn't really an idea of a "Web 2.0 startup" for most of 2005.

Exactly. There is no point in expecting cofounder to be competent in same areas. What is more important for cofounder is share same passion as you do. Technical stuff can be learned. Languages and technology comes and goes.<p>

What a stupid argument to be honest. Arguments such as this always get a laughter out of me.<p>Why does it have to be one way or the other? It is quite understandable that FB has a leaning for the young as much of FB feeds off of young folks. I can’t imagine too many 50+ guys brainstorming next generation of FB featu...

This probably depends on the person. Working for someone with the loss of control that this entails can be an absolutely devastating experience.

Working for a company doesn't have to be bad. For many people, a good job at a startup can be very attractive. First and foremost is the feeling that you are working on something that's never been done before. That's exciting and creates a powerful sense of community and adventure. <p>Sometimes a founder has the HR gif...

I don't know about that. I'm perhaps a bit unrepresentative since my normal job is also at a (later-stage, profitable) startup, but I found my day job is far more stressful than the startup.<p>When you work for someone else, there are a large number of factors that you cannot control. You can't pick your technologies...

This should come as no surprise. All Startups that are using "legitimate" means to get data (e.g. via APIs) are at risk. The API provider can block you at any time. Here are other examples: - In May 2006, Ebay blocked Rapleaf's attempt at making seller reputations portable. Rapleaf was using Ebay's API. - In 1999,...

You would hope that companies would start to realize the advantage they gain from everyone using their api. Especially apis that embed their brand (and potentially ads) in other peoples pages. There are a lot reasons for api providers not to pull nonsense like this. Amazon clearly does not look very good here. <p>But u...

Facebook is a product. Lotus is a business.<p>Facebook doesn't need to keep innovating and re-imagining itself. It's designed to do one thing and it already does that quite well. All Zuckerberg needs to do to continue milking his cash cow is to keep the product fresh and trendy. This means hiring the kind of young and ...

As a greybeard in the making (36), my instinct is to dismiss comments like Mark's as inexperience and naivety. Those sorts of attitudes make me uncomfortable and edgy.<p>After some reflection, I'm forced to conclude that although such ageism is annoying, is naive, is arrogant, it's also beautiful. It is exactly that ...

The Starbucks link posted earlier was interesting, but everyone should read the original story that prompted the blog entry.<p>Starbucks is huge. Starbucks is corporate (whether you think that's good, bad or indifferent is up to you). And this article reveals that Starbucks is incredibly introspective and honest.<p>I...

Basically the issue is that as content become more and more free, media organisations will start disappearing and then a small percentage of good journalism that you really have to pay for will disappear.<...

I recommend reading the comments to that blog post. They make very valid points and make the post much more interesting. There is a place for innovation in big companies, just most of them are bad at nurturing it (excluding Google).

I'm still a freshman at university. Is taking time off to pursue a startup a good idea? If somebody has a certain amount of dedication, it's possible to leave school, succeed in a startup, come back to school and graduate. What's holding us back?

I regretted not taking a year off from school. I think the timing depends more on the stage of your business, rather than when you're graduating.
