chrisconley··on Why Search? Skrenta on Blekko
i love his quote, "the idea that the current state-of-the-art in search is what we'll all be using, essentially unchanged, in 5 or 10 years, is absurd to me."

the only thing i haven't done(that i know of) is gone through the domainkey process through yahoo

thanks again for any help!

chrisconley··on What's the holdup on your startup?
I'm the opposite; too many ideas coming and going all the time and not enough time to do anything with

though, maybe that's for the better as I would end up pursuing a lot of things that had little or no substance

chrisconley··on Characteristics That Make a Startup a Startup
first, what does it mean to finish building a product? --take a look at this interview i did that was in the same series of posts as the article in question: www.startuporbust.com/2007/07/dharmesh-shah/ To me finished, is the first time you "release to the unexpecting." second, would I describe a startup as dfranke did? i think he's on the right track but also have trouble with the idea of an unfinished product; a little too vague. third, is facebook a startup? i think so, although they are a pretty established company, they appear to still have a startup mentality.

just my two cents
