Some of this was useful. Thanks. It's fun to hate on Hotmail users, but perhaps the person's ported over to Gmail and just uses their old hotmail handle because they saw no reason to change. I'm not sure that filter is any more legitimate than one that would include AOL or Yahoo.

I don't think its a particularly awesome filter.

I said "hotmail" but what i really mean is "any free service OTHER than gmail". I understand if you have myname@mydomain.com

Outside of that though, I use google docs and spreadsheets a lot, and less friction to get people i work with to use the tools i use is a good thing.

Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing.

Anyone have advice about salaries/commisions for salespeople in startups? Will candidates expect to earn less relative to larger, more established companies?
