To employees of Tibco - as with any private equity buyout, Vista's goal is to shed the weight, reduce expenses, and streamline the company and then sell it for a higher price later. What that means for you is that your company will most likely be moved to Texas, as is what happened when Vista bought my last company this year. They will also slowly lay off workers every few months, and morale will most likely drop. So get out those resumes.

The biggest thing that hasn't been discussed yet is that the admissions counselors and marketing seems to be entirely run by 2U.

Not saying this is not a good company or that online education is not good - just that 2U is representing themselves as part of Berkeley Admissions.

Was contacted by this person when I wanted to learn more about the program, who's email signature looked like this:

Peter Wahlberg

Admissions Counselor

datascience@berkeley Admissions Office

UC Berkeley School of Information

pwahlberg@datascience.berkeley.edu

datascience.berkeley.edu

But he also works for 2U - maybe only for 2U - http://www.linkedin.com/pub/peter-wahlberg/67/800/27b

Again this admissions counselor and the company are innovating in the education space which is a good thing, but I do find it odd to misrepresent 2U employees as Berkeley admissions counselors - especially when I talked to him on the phone and he defended the $60k price tag by saying an MBA is $80k.

If the tech job offered sushi, wine, and Zumba, I'm all in - that probably means I'm one of a few programmers at some type of company with lots of women, which makes for a refreshing and interesting work environment.

You mean day 179?

$5,000 is a good place to start

No prob - a most of them are from the advertisers/brands themselves through the big affiliate networks. Almost all of them are on Commission Junction. The few left over are on Linkshare and even less on the others like Impact Radius, etc. Google shut down their affiliate network a few months ago and almost all of the brands went to Commission Junction and Linkshare.

For coupon codes you can't find from the retailers themselves, you can take a look at competitor websites.

To be honest though, since we're all inundated with startup and marketing information all the time, it's refreshing to know the old fashioned investing still works :)

I make about $30 a month running a small coupon code website focused on cell phones. Again it's almost nothing but the upshot is if the site takes off in any way, it can bring in some ok money on the site. A lot of it can be outsourced once you get the system down, but there is a good amount of manual labor. Site: http://www.newphonepromocodes.com
