The idea that the world will be cleaner place if everyone drives a EV is BS. The electricity to power such cars will still come from coal fired power plants. If you want to make the world a cleaner place, support clean technologies like wind or solar. EV is not the solution.

Brilliantly put. Case in point.

Yeah I think this is more of a PR stunt than anything else. The technology has potential but at the current moment, but it isnt superior than what is out there. Biomass is green but there isnt enough of it available for cheap. So I think Bloom boxes will have to use natural gas (which isnt green) to scale.

I was going for the mvp (minimum viable product) more so than a neatly designed site. I think 1 minute per call is too optimistic. I had calculated 2 minutes per call leading to 200 calls per day which is actually $1920/month for the employee. I had used the minimum wage estimation in Ontario which is $10.25. But I can always outsource the calling. So at $8/hr I can bring the pricing down. Thanks for the feedback.

I agree. It is best if they provide an option. So you can login with facebook if you choose to. I use my twitter login more than facebook.

yeah they do very well. check out http://www.americaisretarded.com/. it is possible to make money without generating much value (like 'the situation' from jersey shore). facebook has a big market cap but imo it doesnt have much value.

my bet is twitter will figure out monetization. im sure they have something in the works. look at ad.ly for instance - instream advertising. they seem to be doing well.

Whether or not a wannabe entrepreneur should quit school and swing for the fences really depends on his level of competency. Some folks like gates, jobs and zuckerberg are competent enough to pull it off. Some arent. But if you are serious about becoming a successful entrepreneur you have to assume that you can pull it off which means that you should quit school.

I think Twitter has immense value. And I would be happy to see it go public and achieve $billions in market cap. Cant say the same thing about facebook or zynga.

sometimes i feel like facebook is that waste-of-my-time show that i get pulled into when i switch on my tv. it sucks up time from my life i will never get back.

i think this is a great idea but one month is too long. why not have different options like 1-3 days, 1 week, once every month or special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries)?
