2,303 | null | comment | davidw | 1,173,081,791 | I've read the book. Basically, the features I have are the minimum I needed where I first rolled out the system (my day job). We had to have something that lets people share tasks, and keep track of time. Like they also say in the book, I realize those features aren't for everyone, so I'm happy to concentrate on the niche of people who need them. At work, they really like the system, so I'm confident they're out there. | null | 2,235 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
2,305 | null | comment | jwecker | 1,173,083,197 | I have a family also.. Y'all will think I'm totally nuts, but I'm a polyphasic sleeper ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphasic_sleep ). Altogether I sleep about 2.5 hours a day, which means I can have a 15 hour work day (at night) and still have 6+ hours at just the right times to be with my family and do personal things etc. I have my wife's 100% support though, and that makes all the difference (I won the support by cleaning the kitchen at night, of course).<p>In some ways I miss the freedom of being a little younger and single- being able to drop absolutely everything and move somewhere, knowing you'll be able to take care of yourself at the very least no matter what. On the other hand, there's a certain stability in your life that comes from being married and from having children. It can really be an anchor when times are difficult. It also usually forces you to take a lot more realistic view of your potential startup. Will this really produce revenue? Am I really covering my bases? etc. | null | 2,293 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

2,308 | null | comment | jwecker | 1,173,084,093 | All through my early startups I had a lingering feeling deep down that maybe I was too young- in over my head. Then one day I wake up and I'm feeling like maybe I'm too old- what if I missed the sweet spot or something? So my recommendation to all, young and old- ignore it.<p>Every time I hear someone older say they are getting forgetful because of their age (unless they really have dementia) I laugh inside, because everyone forgets stuff all the time- it's just that when you're older you have an excuse to pin it on. If your boss is 50 and the company is sluggish and behind the culture and curve, then it's your boss's disposition that made it so, not his age. It's a kind of slow culture that anyone turning a profit can get stuck in. | null | 2,265 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

I've been in the work world long enough to realize what I don't like, what I'm sick of, and what kinds of things people in my position are looking for.<p>There's also something to be said for the support that a spouse can give you, and for the energy that children impart just by being around you. Yeah, I have my bad days, but all in all, I think that this is the time.<p>Focus is the main thing that limited resources will impart to you. My two most limited resources at the moment are time and money. Since I don't have much of each, and can't afford to fail, I am that much more focused on what I need to be doing.

Paul Graham, Trevor Blackwell, Robert Morris, and Jessica LivingstonFounders, Y Combinator<p>Rather than sinking a whole lot of money into a handful of companies that may (or may not) turn into the next big Google, venture capital firms like Y Combinator dole out smaller sums to potential mini-Googles. Y Combinator commits to two rounds of funding and dispenses less than $20,000 (expense money, really) to coders so they can work, work, work on a prototype to parlay into more funding. In exchange, Y Combinator asks for 2 to 10 percent of the company's stock. Startups that these guys have funded include Reddit (acquired by CondeNast), Kiko, and Weebly.

2,363 | null | comment | python_kiss | 1,173,113,445 | I have a great deal of trust for startups that choose niche and vertical markets as an entry strategy (my article: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/6_startup_lessons_2007.php). As a company founder, it takes an incredible amount of discipline to resist the temptation of trying to build an "everybody" product. The best way to build a company is not by going after an existing category, but by creating a new category you can be first in. Startups must focus on creating new markets over serving existing ones.<p>Moreover, as an Electrical Engineering student, I understand that a Search Engine for electronic components is certainly a product in much demand. To top it off, they also managed to extract specifications of the parts in .gif/pdf formats which is absolutely essential when buying IC's or Transistors.<p>Congratulations to the founders and YCombinator.

Some friends and I tried to start a Video Game company out of college and it didn't get us very far. Once I started working a 'real job' I quickly realized how much better it was to be your own boss. I've been working SO much harder now than I ever thought about working in college or right after. Real life is a great motivator ;) | null | 2,260 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
2,378 | null | comment | pootytang | 1,173,115,323 | I am 32 and recently married. For me the trick is to get this thing started before we have any kids, as I am doing my startup in addition to a 9-5 (for now) and I know having rugrats competing for my attention will be a major demotivator.<p>The founders of the company I work for during the day are late 30s and one of them about 50.

I'm guessing that many of people reading this have talked to multiple people on that list personally, and are connected to most of the rest within two degrees.<p>In addition to reading news.yc, anyone who has ever spent time in the wikipedia IRC channel or reading DailyKos or K5 can't help but having talked to at least a handful of these people. | null | 2,323 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

2,377 | null | comment | Readmore | 1,173,115,155 | KlipboardzTV is the newest addition to my social network Klipboardz. For a while I've wanted to be able to get my TV from the Internet but I really haven't found a good way to pull it off. I decided it would be great to apply the social news formula to Streaming TV and movies. This way when someone streams something they can post it to KlipboardzTV and then the community can decide if it's good or not. It's still in the early stages but let me know what you think. | null | 2,365 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

2,381 | null | comment | python_kiss | 1,173,116,262 | Considering Reddit's exit strategy last year, it makes sense to evaluate if Digg will be up for grabs this year. While LinkedIn and Facebook have signalled towards a possible IPO, Digg hasn't. So in your opinion, will Kevin Rose receive his big paycheck this year? Who is likely to acquire them, and for how much? | null | 2,380 | null | [

2,385 | null | comment | Alex3917 | 1,173,117,645 | I think he's wrong on ToDo lists. Trying to keep everything you have to do in your head reduces the available cycles you have left for productive work. This is the main idea behind Getting Things Done.<p>I think news.yc is truly on the forefront of procrastination technology. It's the ultimate in infotainment, because you aren't getting anything done but yet there is something about it that makes you feel not completely unproductive.<p>I think this is a good principle for evil web startups to incorporate. Trying to get the same entertainment and addictiveness of WoW, but with less of the feeling of wasting your life (even though you are). | null | 2,346 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

2,389 | null | comment | danielha | 1,173,119,580 | Digg's generated revenue is still nothing to sneeze at (an article in BusinessWeek reports that they brought in $3 million in ad revenue for 2006). I wouldn't be surprised if they held out for quite a while longer.<p>Kevin Rose seems to be putting a lot of energy into Revision3 right now. Seeing as Digg is a integral part of some of their productions, I think they'd like to retain control. | null | 2,381 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

2,398 | null | comment | amichail | 1,173,121,125 | Given the importance of a domain name to the success of your startup, I was wondering if there is a service that allows you to test out your proposed domain name to see how well it is likely to work out? For example, a domain name company might give discounts to users who give back meaningful feedback on domain name proposals from other users. | null | 2,396 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
2,386 | null | comment | immad | 1,173,118,597 | When you have a lot of committed users that frequent its always possible to come up with strategies that dont involve just the normal advertising channels. e.g. suicidegirls sells branded merchandise and bebo is getting into parnerships with amazon and ebay. So this article is a bit simplistic and I think you could make $50m revenues with a lot less users than it dictates. | null | 2,195 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
