I had a thread a while back where I brain dumped all of my current ideas. I'm hoping good karma from that will come back around and help me out now :) In my braindump, I had a few B2B ideas but for some reason my brain…

Sorry, this question is specific to the US, but I didn't want to bloat the title any more... It's clear to me that the American economy is not going to recover until we have widespread job creation. I think that there…

The idea of MVP seems very in vogue right now, which I think is appropriate in the context of lean times and lean startups. However, it's occurred to me that MVP may be overly pessimistic because it ignores potential…

These companies more or less eschew "graphic design" (not saying they eschew or ux or "just design") - they constist mostly of content with the tiniest bits of chrome to demarcate things. Is this a function of catering…

I'm considering starting up nudge emails for lost http://todoneapp.com signups. Mailchimp seems like a popular service, but my signup email from them went into my Gmail spam folder. That seems like a really bad sign.…

I built http://todoneapp.com/ about 2 months ago. I actually built it for my wife who doesn't work well with normal todo lists. She would have cracks of time in her day between chasing our kid around and I devised this…

I think if you look at this compete graph you'll understand what I'm asking. These are the only real sites I can find operating in this space. They're ugly, slow, or stodgy feeling. I want to build something that's more…

I like Posterous, but I'm really confused about the business model. After I blog into it for two years, are they going to start charging me money? The fact that they were (are?) trying to monetize affiliate-able links…
